And we are SURE Intel will not hold a backdoor for the supposedly encrypted data
Couldn't you technically figure out what the data is by doing a bunch of operations on it and observing the result? I'm not a math or security guy by any stretch but this seems almost too good to be true.
Yes, it's guaranteed!
Oh, you said "not"...
Homomorphic encryption is pretty wild, you can sort and search data without decrypting it.
Cute, but it looks like there aren't actually any FIPS approved homomorphic protocols. That's a big risk for someone like a bank to take on
FIPS updates/approvals always take a long time.
