Abstract

Example data security processing methods and systems are disclosed. One example data security processing method includes determining n trusted applications (TAs) for a same computation task of m pieces of user equipment. Data sent by each of the m pieces of user equipment is received, where the data sent by each user equipment is used for performing the same computation task. A data fragment set of each TA of the n TAs participating in the computation is determined, where the data fragment set of each TA includes one data fragment in the data sent by each user equipment. Each TA is controlled to perform computation based on the data fragment set of each TA. A computation result of the same computation task is determined based on a computation result of each TA.
