Outsourcing your computation to the cloud doesn't have to be insecure, if you trust the code you're running (perhaps it's your own code). Cryptographers call this delegated computation, and while modern techniques are still VERY slow, there has been a lot of progress in the past few years, and I think the landscape of these techniques will look much better. Of course, we still have to contend with the case where the software you use is NOT owned or trusted completely by you. That's a different problem that IMO can only be solved by open source software.
