    Until homeomorphic encryption becomes a thing, cloud can’t be secure or private.

    Why do you need homeomorphic encryption? Isn’t client-side encryption good enough for most use cases?

        I am aware. What processing is only possible in the cloud, and not locally?

      Client-side is not cloud.

      Yes, you can keep client-side reasonably secure. You can’t send the data for cloud processing and seriously expect much security or privacy… for now. Encrypt client-side and use cloud as storage… maybe; encryption algorithms also have a “best by” date.

      My point is:

      • “Cloud hosted” can not be fully “secure and private” right now.
      • “With cloud storage”, has a “best by” date.
      • “Not cloud”… well, is not cloud 🙂

      Letting anyone with the ability to switch the software without you noticing, anywhere near the keys controlling some Bitcoin funds, is a really bad idea.
