Too Long; Didn't Read
Nearly 4 billion data records were stolen in 2016. Cyber-attacks will continue this exploitation and today’s technologies will not be able to keep pace. Homomorphic encryption helps us in solving a lot of problems that today's elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) algorithms fail to address in our cloud infrastructure security. In the case of storage, there are two ways in which we do things today. We either store the data in our databases mostly unencrypted in plain text; or in some cases, by doing some form of encryption.
