confused
So I admit, I'm no cryptographer. That's way too much math for me and it puts me to sleep. But I'm confused by this new homomorphic thing. If you can "massage" the encrypted data until you see manipulable patterns in it, doesn't that mean your encryption isn't really that good? I mean, I thought the whole point of encryption, the gold standard, was that without the keys the data was basically jumbled streams of worthless numbers. Only with the keys can you do anything worthwhile with the data.
Sorry to sound dense, but this doesn't make sense.
