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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today, Intel signed an agreement with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to "perform in its Data Protection in Virtual Environments (DPRIVE) program." This means that the company ...

Whether it's a reaction to the Snowden revelations, a reaction to the continual news of massive data breaches, or just the obvious need to secure data in the cloud -- or all of the above -- new ...

The history of homomorphic encryption stretches back to the late 1970s. Just a year after the RSA public-key scheme was developed, Ron Rivest, Len Adleman, and ...

Modern cryptography is embedded in countless digital systems and components. It's an essential tool for keeping data secure and private. Yet one of the biggest limitations with cryptography, including ...

Enterprises routinely grapple with the effects of data loss. This could be much less of a problem if applications could run on data that didn't need to be decrypted first. An emerging class of ...
