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 ...

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 ...

Data has been called the new oil—the 21st century's most valuable commodity. Due to this value, we have entered an era where data breaches are not just a threat but a frequent headline. Regardless, ...

This story is part of The Privacy Divide, a series that explores the fault lines and disparities–economic, cultural, philosophical–that have developed around ...

IBM has launched a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) test service for the enterprise in the first step to bringing in-transit encrypted data analysis into the commercial sector. IBM said on Thursday ...

Homomorphic encryption is a method of performing calculations on encrypted information without decrypting it first. Why do you care about some arcane computer math? Because it could make cloud ...

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 ...

Encryption is a well-known solution to avoid sensitive data exposure in times of privacy and security concerns. But encryption is only generally available for data at rest and data in transit, leaving ...

Secure cloud data processing has become a critical issue in recent times and while general network security techniques such as Virtual Private Networks could be used for securing the end-to-end ...
