IBM has released a toolkit for iOS and macOS to help developers to easily add homomorphic encryption into their programs.
While the technology holds great potential, it does require a significant shift in the security paradigm. Typically, inside the business logic of an application, data remains decrypted, Bergamaschi explained. But with the implementation of FHE, that’s no longer the case — meaning some functions and operations will change.
In other words, « There will be a need to rewrite parts of the business logic, » Bergamaschi said. « But the security that you gain with that, where the data is encrypted all the time, is very high. »
If you haven’t added homomorphic encryption to your technology watch list, be sure to do so. As I wrote in the past, this type of encryption lets a company perform computations on data while still keeping that data encrypted.
