IBM has claimed that it has made a breakthrough in data security that could potentially usher in a new era of manipulation of sensitive encrypted data without revealing what the data actually is. The idea isn’t new, Ronald Rivest (the R in RSA) thought it up thirty years ago; thinking it to be too infeasible to ever implement. The future implications on data security are very promising to say the least.
