Abstract

Cloud computing has become a vital platform for large-scale data analytics, yet it poses significant privacy challenges when handling sensitive information, especially in healthcare and financial domains.Homomorphic Encryption (HE) enables computation on encrypted data, providing strong privacy guarantees, but traditional HE frameworks lack efficient query representation, do not protect query patterns, and cannot prove correctness of cloud-side computations.This paper proposes HE-Cloud, an integrated privacy-preserving framework that combines DSL-driven query compilation, HE, Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), and Oblivious RAM (ORAM).Our framework allows clients to express high-level analytical queries, securely executes them on encrypted data, protects query access patterns via ORAM, and returns verifiable results through ZKP.A proof-of-concept implementation using the Pima Diabetes dataset demonstrates feasibility: Average glucose computations can be performed entirely on encrypted data with sub-second latency for homomorphic operations and minimal accuracy loss (approximately 0.001).Scalable secure analytics, extendable to larger datasets and machine learning tasks.
