Blind Encrypted Data Matching is a new method for negotiating an agreement when both sides are hiding all their information. The negotiation is conducted by a blind broker who is unable to read the hidden information. In the end, the two parties reach an agreement on a contract or the sharing of secret data without revealing any unnecessary information from their positions of secrecy.  The broker is kept in the dark throughout.

A successful software service rests on three essential supports: an effective method of operation, an efficient software implementation, and clear and complete support for the user including documentation, training and technical support. The unique part of BEDM is its method of operation. The risky part is the reduction of the method to software. We will show both in this demonstration.

In this demonstration we show the method of operation for Blind Encrypted Data Matching (BEDM) illustrating the operation with the help of prototype software that generates sample results. The results are derived from an example that is fictitious but very similar to real examples. If you follow along with the demonstration, you will understand the operation of BEDM. From that understanding, you can decide for yourself whether BEDM can help with a real problem in your business.

Please read the overview first. The sample results from the data are described in the section “Demonstration Example in Detail”. The method of operation that yields the results in the demo is described in “ BEDM Step by Step”. Finally, if you are really interested in the technical detail, you can read about the software for the demo in “Software for the Demo”.
