"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.
