Craig Gentry, a cryptographer working at IBM’s Thomas Watson Research Center in the suburbs outside New York City, recently received a phone call that changed his life. His passion, an experimental ...

Organizations are starting to take an interest in homomorphic encryption, which allows computation to be performed directly on encrypted data without requiring access to a secret key. While the ...

Now imagine another approach: instead of letting the jewelers have your pile of raw gold, it stays inside a locked box. Only you have the key. By inserting their hands into the box, the jeweler can ...

Data has been called the new oil—the 21st century's most valuable commodity. Due to this value, we have entered an era where data breaches are not just a threat but a frequent headline. Regardless, ...

Regardless of the strength of data’s encryption, more and more potential vulnerabilities surface in data security as more people are granted access to sensitive information. However, a relatively new ...

Modern cryptography is embedded in countless digital systems and components. It's an essential tool for keeping data secure and private. Yet one of the biggest limitations with cryptography, including ...

Homomorphic encryption is a method of performing calculations on encrypted information without decrypting it first. Why do you care about some arcane computer math? Because it could make cloud ...

What do you do when you need to perform computations on large data sets while preserving their confidentiality? In other words, you would like to gather analytics, for example, on user data, without ...

Homomorphic encryption, a complex technique that uses cryptographic algorithms to keep data secure as it travels around networks and to third parties, continues to elude mass-market scalability and ...

Following SK Telecom, a hacking incident at KT has occurred, spreading fears of personal information leaks. On the 21st of last month, Professor Cheon Jeong-hee from the Department of Mathematical ...
