Abstract

Claims (46)

1 . A secure computation system comprising:

at least one memory configured to store instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire financial transaction information possessed by each of a plurality of financial institutions in a concealed format, wherein the financial transaction information includes one or both of:

sales information including at least one of sales amounts or numbers of financial products, trust fee amounts, profit amounts due to commissions or interests, or

customer information including at least one of a number of customers, past transaction statuses, and customer attributes;

receive, from one financial institution, request for analysis of an index indicating a trend of financial transactions of the plurality of financial institutions;

compute the index requested based on the financial transaction information of the plurality of financial institutions while maintaining the financial transaction information in the concealed format by secure computation including at least one of: homomorphic encryption, multi-party computation with secret sharing, or processing in a trusted execution environment isolated on hardware; and

output, to the one financial institution, a comparison report comparably presenting the index computed based on the financial transaction information of the plurality of financial institutions and an index based on the financial transaction information of the one financial institution.

2 . The secure computation system according to claim 1 , wherein the one financial institution is not capable of being specified from the index.

3 . The secure computation system according to claim 1 , wherein the financial transaction information is not capable of being specified from the index.

4 . A method comprising:

acquiring financial transaction information possessed by each of a plurality of financial institutions in a concealed format, wherein the financial transaction information includes one or both of:

sales information including at least one of sales amounts or numbers of financial products, trust fee amounts, profit amounts due to commissions or interests, or

customer information including at least one of a number of customers, past transaction statuses, and customer attributes;

receiving, from one financial institution, request for analysis of an index indicating a trend of financial transactions of the plurality of financial institutions;

computing the index requested based on the financial transaction information of the plurality of financial institutions while maintaining the financial transaction information in the concealed format by secure computation including at least one of: homomorphic encryption, multi-party computation with secret sharing, or processing in a trusted execution environment isolated on hardware; and

outputting, to the one financial institution, a comparison report comparably presenting the index computed based on the financial transaction information of the plurality of financial institutions and an index based on the financial transaction information of the one financial institution.

5 . A non-transient computer readable recording medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to execute a method comprising:

acquiring financial transaction information possessed by each of a plurality of financial institutions in a concealed format, wherein the financial transaction information includes one or both of:

sales information including at least one of sales amounts or numbers of financial products, trust fee amounts, profit amounts due to commissions or interests, or

customer information including at least one of a number of customers, past transaction statuses, and customer attributes;

receiving, from one financial institution, request for analysis of an index indicating a trend of financial transactions of the plurality of financial institutions;

computing the index requested based on the financial transaction information of the plurality of financial institutions while maintaining the financial transaction information in the concealed format by secure computation including at least one of: homomorphic encryption, multi-party computation with secret sharing, or processing in a trusted execution environment isolated on hardware; and

outputting, to the one financial institution, a comparison report comparably presenting the index computed based on the financial transaction information of the plurality of financial institutions and an index based on the financial transaction information of the one financial institution.

6 . An information processing system comprising a plurality of first systems and a second system,

wherein each of the plurality of first systems includes:

at least one storage configured to store financial transaction information possessed by a financial institution;

at least one memory configured to store instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

conceal the financial transaction information; and

transmit the financial transaction information to the second system in a concealed format, and

wherein the second system includes:

at least one memory configured to store instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire financial transaction information possessed by each of a plurality of financial institutions in the concealed format, wherein the financial transaction information includes one or both of:

sales information including at least one of sales amounts or numbers of financial products, trust fee amounts, profit amounts due to commissions or interests, or

customer information including at least one of a number of customers, past transaction statuses, and customer attributes;

receive, from one financial institution, request for analysis of an index indicating a trend of financial transactions of the plurality of financial institutions;

compute the index requested based on the financial transaction information of the plurality of financial institutions while maintaining the financial transaction information in the concealed format by secure computation including at least one of: homomorphic encryption, multi-party computation with secret sharing, or processing in a trusted execution environment isolated on hardware; and

output, to the one financial institution, a comparison report comparably presenting the index computed based on the financial transaction information of the plurality of financial institutions and an index based on the financial transaction information of the one financial institution.

7 . The secure computation system according to claim 1 , wherein the index is an average of increase rates of sales amounts of financial products of the plurality of financial institutions.

8 . The secure computation system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire the financial transaction information for a specific time period;

extract information related to the specific time period from a website or a social networking service; and

output the information related to the specific time period in association with the index.
