Our scheme employs Double Random Perturbation Encryption (DRPE) using Householder matrices. This method prevents the leakage of zero-element information and mitigates GCD attacks, ensuring comprehensive privacy for both input and output data. Unlike previous methods, it does not require dimensionality expansion, simplifying the encryption process while maintaining high security against active adversaries.
By transforming complex matrix operations into matrix-vector multiplications on the client side, our scheme reduces client computational overhead from O(n³) to O(n²). Furthermore, the non-interactive design significantly minimizes communication overhead between the client and the cloud server, requiring only a single encryption and decryption round.
A robust eigenvalue decomposition verification algorithm is integrated into the scheme. This allows clients to detect malicious behaviors and incorrect computation results from the untrusted cloud server with a non-negligible probability. This ensures the reliability and integrity of the outsourced PCA results.

Performance Against HE-Based Schemes
Our scheme demonstrates significant superiority over Homomorphic Encryption (HE)-based PCA outsourcing. While HE offers strong privacy, its intensive homomorphic operations lead to substantially higher computational and communication overhead, making it less suitable for resource-constrained IoT devices. As shown in our experiments (Figures 5a, 5b, 5c and Table 3, Table 4), our approach provides greater computational savings for the client and significantly lower communication costs, especially in bandwidth-constrained environments.
- O(n²) client-side computation vs. HE's vastly higher overhead.
- Non-interactive design drastically reduces communication rounds and latency.
- Communication data expansion ratio ≈ 1 for our scheme, indicating minimal overhead, compared to HE's non-negligible expansion.
