The primary purpose of the Programming Computation on Encrypted Data (PROCEED) program is to improve the efficiency of algorithms that allow people to carry out computations on encrypted data--without having to decrypt the data itself. RAND was asked to evaluate whether PROCEED--which expands the knowledge base of the global cryptographic community--is likely to provide more benefits to the United States than it does to its global rivals.
