This is all interesting and I’m thinking now with all the talk of privacy and data sovereignty etc why this is coming out or Google now and not Apple? Anyone know if Apple is thinking along these lines? Would be nice if we could get performant computation on things without having to decrypt our own data. Then again my understanding and real world applications of homomorphic encryption is pedestrian at best.
What I do really enjoy is the author’s tone and style. The article was fun to read and easy to follow and it seems like a really cool project.
- londons_explore 4y agoThe news stories you read about Google and Apple re: privacy are heavily influenced by corporate PR departments sending 'tips' to the media to try to make themselves look good or a competitor look bad. The actual privacy efforts of both companies don't (in my experience) closely align with what the news says about them.
