摘要:In a recent interview, Whitfield Diffie argued that "the whole point of cloud computing is economy" andwhile it is possible in principle for "computation to be done on encrypted data, [...] current techniqueswould more than undo the economy gained by the outsourcing and show little sign of becoming prac-tical". Here we explore whether this is truly the case and quantify just how expensive it is to securecomputing in untrusted, potentially curious clouds.
