If it can be used, it would make the processing of data, particularly data on servers in the cloud significantly more secure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is though that while the algorithms and technology that exist today may make homomorphic encryption possible, it isn&#8217;t at all practical because it makes computer processing very slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers in the area of machine learning are particularly interested in the technology.  Being able to securely share data while at the same time protecting anonymity of the data sources is a holy grail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"499\" src=\"http:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4-1024x499.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4-1024x499.png 1024w, https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4-768x374.png 768w, https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-4.png 1142w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Using Homomorphic Encryption to securely process data (<a href=\"https:\/\/duality.cloud\/products\/\">Duality Technologies<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/casimirw\/\">Casimir Wierzynski<\/a>, senior director at Intel,  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberscoop.com\/homomorphic-encryption-standards-intel-microsoft-google\/\">said that<\/a> homomorphic encryption  &#8220;is becoming not just a mathematical curiosity but actually something that [people] want to put into production.
