DARPA BAA on homomorphic encryption - Cloud computing without
decrypting data
http://www.nnsquad.org/archives/nnsquad/msg03849.html
- - -
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 ...

"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. "
