Data is either stored, transmitted or used in computation. Information security aims to provide protection at all the stages of data. Traditional encryption algorithms help us achieve security for data at storage and transmition. However, in order to provide security while executing a function on private data, we need a completely new set of tools. In this talk, we look at secure computation, its applications and challenges that lie ahead.
