Subject: [IP] DARPA BAA on homomorphic encryption
"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. "
