Privacy-Preserving Credit Card Approval Using Homomorphic SVM: Toward Secure Inference in FinTech Applications

The growing use of machine learning in cloud environments raises critical concerns about data security and privacy, especially in finance. Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) offers a solution by enabling computations on encrypted data, but its high computational cost limits practicality. In this paper, we propose PP-FinTech, a privacy-preserving scheme for financial applications that employs a CKKS-based encrypted soft-margin SVM, enhanced with a hybrid kernel for modeling non-linear patterns and an adaptive thresholding mechanism for robust encrypted classification. Experiments on the Credit Card Approval dataset demonstrate comparable performance to the plaintext models, highlighting PP-FinTech's ability to balance privacy, and efficiency in secure financial ML systems.

Cross-Platform Benchmarking of the FHE Libraries: Novel Insights into SEAL and Openfhe

The rapid growth of cloud computing and data-driven applications has amplified privacy concerns, driven by the increasing demand to process sensitive data securely. Homomorphic encryption (HE) has become a vital solution for addressing these concerns by enabling computations on encrypted data without revealing its contents. This paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of two leading HE libraries, SEAL and OpenFHE, examining their performance, usability, and support for prominent HE schemes such as BGV and CKKS. Our analysis highlights computational efficiency, memory usage, and scalability across Linux and Windows platforms, emphasizing their applicability in real-world scenarios. Results reveal that Linux outperforms Windows in computation efficiency, with OpenFHE emerging as the optimal choice across diverse cryptographic settings. This paper provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners to advance privacy-preserving applications using FHE.

Performance Evaluation of Threshold Signing Schemes in Cryptography

Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) protocols have gained significant attention over the past ten years due to their widespread adoption in cryptocurrencies. The adoption is mainly boosted by Gennaro and Goldfedder's TSS protocol. Since then, various TSS protocols have been introduced with different features, such as security and performance, etc. Large organizations are using TSS protocols to protect many digital assets, such as cryptocurrency. However, the adoption of these TSS protocols requires an understanding of state-of-the-art research in threshold signing. This study describes the holistic view of TSS protocols, evaluates cutting-edge TSS protocols, highlights their characteristics, and compares them in terms of security and performance. The evaluation of these TSS protocols will help the researchers address real-world problems by considering the relevant merits of different TSS protocols.
