multiple appications
In my humble opinion, I can envision homomorphic encryption being applied via copper, fiber, cellular, or microwave channels or even locking mechanisms. The questions I have are: how will the key be stored? will the key be encrypted by some method? or plain text? who will have access to the key(s) and under what regulated conditiuons will these people have access to any availabe key(s)? how much more bloated is this encryption method going to cause software to become? what about bandwidth economy - is it going to congest transmissions?
I sound like I am really harshing on the cool with all this, so allow me to clarify that I think this is a totally amazing hash! I am just trying to ask the questions
