Organizations are starting to take an interest in homomorphic encryption, which allows computation to be performed directly on encrypted data without requiring access to a secret key. While the ...

The problem with encrypted data is that you must decrypt it in order to work with it. By doing so, it’s vulnerable to the very things you were trying to protect it from by encrypting it. There is a ...

Smart contracts are transparent by design. Data processed or stored on a public blockchain can often be viewed by anyone.

Regardless of the strength of data’s encryption, more and more potential vulnerabilities surface in data security as more people are granted access to sensitive information. However, a relatively new ...

A startup named Ravel claims breakthroughs in fully homomorphic encryption, a hotly-pursued method for analyzing encrypted data without ever decrypting it. Now imagine another approach: instead of ...

What do you do when you need to perform computations on large data sets while preserving their confidentiality? In other words, you would like to gather analytics, for example, on user data, without ...

Several years ago, on a dairy farm in the small Irish village of Dundrum, four technologists — Maxim Dressler, Ryan Lasmaili, Shaun Mc Brearty and Tilo Weigandt — brainstormed solutions for what they ...

Homomorphic encryption has emerged as a pivotal tool for preserving data confidentiality in networked control systems, where sensors, controllers and actuators exchange sensitive information over ...
