Last month, IBM made some pretty brash claims about homomorphic encryption and the future of security. I hate to be the one to throw cold water on the whole thing — as cool as the new discovery is — but it’s important to separate the theoretical from the practical. Homomorphic cryptosystems are ones where mathematical operations on the ciphertext have…
