Claim:
1. A method for determining a compute power amount contributed by a device, comprising: receiving, by a first processor of a provider system, encrypted data from a second processor of a customer system, wherein the encrypted data is data encrypted via homomorphic encryption; parsing, by the first processor, the encrypted data into a plurality of encrypted subsets, wherein an encrypted subset from among the plurality of encrypted subsets is sized proportional to a participation commitment by the device, in distributed computational activities; associating, by the first processor, a token specific to the device with the encrypted subset to produce a packaged subset; forwarding, by the first processor, the packaged subset to the device; receiving, by the first processor, a processed packaged subset in response to the forwarding of the packaged subset, the processed packaged subset including the token; determining, by the first processor, from the token of the processed packaged subset the compute power amount contributed by the device; and determining an incentive package for the device based on the compute power amount contributed by the device to increase participation in the distributed computational activities, by the device.
