There are three main places where data can exist: at-rest, over-air, and in-memory. While we have good levels of encryption for at-rest and over-air, it is in-memory that leaves data unprotected. And, it doesn’t have to be this way — it is just the way we have designed our processors. A future system architecture might see the processing of encrypted values and thus the rise of what is called homomorphic…
