"There’s a new DARPA BAA on homomorphic encryption:

The goal is to create practical implementations of an idea that only recently has been shown to be possible in theory.  
That a computation could be performed over data that remains in encrypted form throughout the entire computation.  In 
effect, the computer would execute a program without ever being able to discern any of the computed values.  The 
possible applications of this are far reaching.  For example, you could let a cloud facility do all of your computing 
work without any possibility that any of your private information would be divulged. "
