A Medical Pre-diagnosis Scheme Based on Neural Network and Inner Product Function Encryption

Artificial neural networks are widely used in various fields, such as intelligent road networks, Internet of Things, and smart medical systems due to their ability to process large amounts of data in parallel, store information in a distributed manner, and self-organize and self-learn. Cloud computing technology has further expanded the development of neural network applications. However, user data often contains sensitive information, and once the data management right is transferred to the cloud, it faces serious security and privacy issues. In the medical field, privacy-preserving implementation of classification algorithms is crucial for ensuring the privacy of electronic medical diagnosis services. Current privacy-preserving medical pre-diagnosis schemes based on homomorphic encryption impose a significant computational and communication burden on users and servers. This paper proposes an efficient privacy-preserving medical pre-diagnosis scheme based on neural networks and inner product function encryption that protects user privacy during pre-diagnosis while having small computational and communication overheads.
