A secure SNP panel scheme using homomorphically encrypted K-mers without SNP calling on the user side

Table 2 Length K of product K-mers, time needed to encrypt K-mers and perform equality test to detect SNPs

N	PDT	K	K-mer encryption (ms)	equality test (sec)
10	0	10	45	82
10	1	13	56	141
10	2	17	92	300
10	3	20	101	418
10	4	24	119	603

N indicates the number of SNP residues included in the panel. PDT is the mismatch tolerance, where higher PDT indicates lower false positive risks. The table shows how the changes in PDT and K affect the running time. The result indicates that larger K results in longer running time to encrypt and test equality
