Homomorphic encryption could be of use here if there is meta data for the encrypted content, but I also don't see the direct benefit to let a low level transmitter manipulate contents.
Deep packet inspection is still a security flaw in my opinion. For me it destroyed the chain of trust. I know that practical application to inspect the next trojan an employee downloads through https, but I believe interception should be done after the download (before anything is executed of course).
- contravariant 5y agoWhat's the point of homomorphic encryption if you can still see how the behaviour changes? You might as well just make the desired behaviour public and don't bother with trying to somehow get something to read sensitive data and change its behaviours accordingly without leaking information about the data (which is not feasible, no matter how advanced your encryption).
- Enginerrrd 5y agoYou're talking about homomorphic encryption of metadata? If so, I'm not sure I get it. If the infrastructure has to make prioritization decisions for certain types of traffic, I think it just needs to know the type of traffic. If it's "encrypted", but has an obvious end target of the computation, than it's not really encrypted.
- raxxorrax 5y agoNo, the metadata would not be encrypted, so that you know which operations would be sensible. Just homomorphic encryption to do these operations without the sender being able to decrypt the respective data. Don't have any particular use cases at hand though. Brightening an image without being able to decrypt it or something like that...?
