Method and system for privacy-protected execution of a workflow in a software application using encrypted inputs

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for privacy-preserving execution of a workflow in a software application. Embodiments include generally includes receiving homomorphically encrypted inputs from a client device corresponding to user-provided data needed to calculate a result for a step of a workflow in the software application. A result is calculated for the step of the workflow using the received homomorphically encrypted inputs. The calculated result is returned to the client device. The calculated result is homomorphically encrypted as a result of calculating the result using the received homomorphically encrypted inputs.
