Schneier on Homomorphic Encryption Breakthrough
A couple of weeks ago during lunch, someone had mentioned that a breakthrough in the world of cryptography had occurred: that someone had succeeded in creating something called a “homomorphic encryption scheme”. The thing was, nobody at the table really understood what that was all about. I did a brief bit of reading on it, and once I got the basic idea, I realized that yes indeed, it was a pretty amazing result, and pretty surprising. But rather than try to describe it to you, I’ll toss you to this recent link on Bruce Schneier’s website for his explanation.
