Advancing Privacy and Security in the Cloud: IBM Patented cryptography invention enables unlimited analysis of encrypted data.

IBM continues to reinforce and protect its plans around its Cloud services. Henceforth, with its new patented cryptography invention, IBM expects to further data privacy and strengthen cloud computing security.

Connectikpeople.co observes that, the patented called “fully homomorphic encryption ,” could enable deep and unrestricted analysis of encrypted information, intentionally

scrambled data, without surrendering confidentiality.

This solution invented by IBM cryptography Researcher Craig Gentry, uses a mathematical object known as an “ideal lattice” that allows people to interact with encrypted data in ways previously considered impossible. The breakthrough aims to facilitate analysis of confidential encrypted data without allowing the user to see the private data. According to IBM, the approach will reveal the same detailed results as if the original data was completely visible.

IBM received U.S. Patent #8,565,435: Efficient implementation of fully homomorphic encryption for the invention, which is expected to help cloud computing clients to make more informed business decisions, without compromising privacy and security.

The researchers continue to investigate homomorphic encryption and test its practical applicability.
