    And we are SURE Intel will not hold a backdoor for the supposedly encrypted data

        How do you get useful “predictive analytics” in healthcare without breaking that encryption? This smells like snake oil from cloud-vendors when I don’t have rigorous math proofs cited in the wikipedia page.

          Homomorphic Encryption is a well-known field of research in cryptography. Honestly, if you are capable of understanding the proofs, you don’t need them to be listed on Wikipedia.

      Couldn’t you technically figure out what the data is by doing a bunch of operations on it and observing the result? I’m not a math or security guy by any stretch but this seems almost too good to be true.

    Homomorphic encryption is pretty wild, you can sort and search data without decrypting it.

    Cute, but it looks like there aren’t actually any FIPS approved homomorphic protocols. That’s a big risk for someone like a bank to take on

      Trust the math. You don’t need to accept risk if you can check the math yourself.

      That’s what cryptography is about.
