[ NNSquad ] DARPA BAA on homomorphic encryption
DARPA BAA on homomorphic encryption This research -- on means to perform computations on encrypted data without needing to decrypt it first -- does hold enormous potential importance in cloud computing scenarios. However, one possible downside is that simple typos may result in the entire topic being marked as *forbidden* by popular Net filtering software packages ... --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator ----- Forwarded message from David Farber <dave@farber.net> ----- Date: Sun, 11 Jul 2010 18:11:56 -0400 From: David Farber <dave@farber.net> Subject: [IP] DARPA BAA on homomorphic encryption Reply-To: dave@farber.net To: ip <ip@v2.listbox.com> "There's a new DARPA BAA on homomorphic encryption: https://www.fbo.gov/utils/view?id=11be1516746ea13def0e82984d39f59b The goal is to create practical implementations of an idea that only recently has been shown to be possible in theory. That a computation could be performed over data that remains in encrypted form throughout the entire computation. In effect, the computer would execute a program without ever being able to discern any of the computed values. The possible applications of this are far reaching. For example, you could let a cloud facility do all of your computing work without any possibility that any of your private information would be divulged.
