We’re using spooky moon math (semi-homomorphic encryption in a rather restricted case, mind you) for exactly this reason for the 4 biggest companies in a huge industry here in Australia. These companies are starting to understand why it might be needed, which is super exciting. And hell, even if the prototype gets killed, it’s been fun as hell to work on.

- tinco 9y agoWhat kind of operations are you able to do on the data?
- girvo 9y agoSolely addition on integers, currently. I’m having a lot of fun exploring pattern matching with semi-homomorphic encryption for the larger project, though I have my reservations, but it’s hopefully possible. One of the more interesting bits of the project is that soft-real-time is not a requirement, so some simpler, slower and older algorithms become feasible (interactive ZKPs, even fully-HE systems perhaps). A very specific use case has allowed for the possibility. But it’s amazing to work on :)
