Homomorphic Encryption and Crypto Search Engine
This chapter will discuss the technique of searching in encrypted data and provide some basic information on search engines in general and the math behind them. Then, we will discover an innovative search engine that is able to work with encrypted data: Crypto Search Engine (CSE).
This invention was designed and developed by Cryptolab (https://www.cryptolab.us/), which is a cybersecurity company active in data privacy and protection. It was founded in 2012 as a cryptography laboratory by my co-founders and me, who are two data science engineers, Alessandro Passerini and Tiziana Landi. The aim of Cryptolab is to give more privacy and security to the data transmitted and processed over the internet and then stored and shared in the cloud. Another website you can refer to is the web page of CSE (https://www.cryptolab.cloud/).
We are going to talk about homomorphic encryption and, in particular, homomorphic searching, which is one...
