How Homomorphic Encryption will revolutionize Software Engineering
About this episode
Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption allowing one to perform calculations on encrypted data without decrypting it first. The result of the computation is on an encrypted form, when decrypted the output is the same as if the operations had been performed on the unencrypted data. In this video I go through what homomorphic encryption is and how it will change software engineering forever.
0:00 Intro
2:25 What is Encryption?
3:55 Why we can’t always encrypt?
- TLS terminator proxies to looks
- Search and Analyse data
- Database indexing, functions
8:30 Meet Homomorphic encryption
-Perform operations on encrypted data
-We decrypt the data to process it..
-Imagine no more TLS termination! In proxies
13:20 IBM FHE toolkit code demo
Country csv database, encrypted and then search
21:00 Pros & Cons of Homomorphic Encryption
