David,

Thanks for sharing the links. I heard about Fully Homomorphic
Encryption few months back. This is exactly what Cloud Services like
Google Docs needs.

Right now, I use Google Docs for their excellent search capabilities.
But I can not store encrypted data on Google Docs, and make it
searchable without divulging the decryption keys. Which essentially
means that I have to be careful about what I upload to Google Docs.

So my updated equation is:
CC + HPH + FHE = Future of computing

CC=Cloud Computing
HPH=Host-Proof Hosting
FHE=Fully Homomorphic Encryption
