The process as explained in this article has nothing to do with privacy. The problem with privacy is not that I send Google a query, it’s they Google is scanning my machine, gathering cookie data, recording every move I make, mixing and matching my data with data from other sites, data from data brokers, also using third party cookies, etc etc etc…
Encrypting the query I make with Google isn’t going to change much of that.
Homomorphic encryption is crazy cool! Performance of current implementations is the only keeping me from messing with it more
Wuuut? How?? 😅
Can you explain what Homomorphic Data is?
I am interested
My basic understanding is that the concept of homomorphically encrypted data allows for processing of said encrypted data without the need for prior decryption.
Hence, it enables computations and processing on encrypted data (ciphertext) that yield results matching those from the original data (plaintext) without the data needing to be decrypted at any point.
