Short description of the tool: 

Sharemind ensures the best privacy guarantees modern technology can provide. In a service powered by Sharemind, data owners encrypt their data on premises and upload them to Sharemind. The host of a Sharemind server cannot decrypt the values or learn anything from them. However, Sharemind can process the data without removing the protection or having access to confidential values. All results will be encrypted as well. This is called Computation on Encrypted Data or Runtime Encryption. In addition, Sharemind ensures that no unauthorized query can be performed and only authorized users can provide data or see results. Logs are kept of all activities to keep track of queries and users.

Sharemind uses two technologies that can be deployed independently or combined - HI and MPC. Sharemind HI (Hardware Isolation) provides protection on hardware level as it is based on Trusted Execution Environment with hardware isolation. Sharemind MPC utilizes multi-party computation and provides highest level protection on a software level.
