👉 Signed computing is an innovative approach to secure computation where data is encrypted using public-key cryptography, and the results of computations are signed with a private key. This process ensures that the computation is performed on encrypted data, meaning that even if an attacker intercepts the encrypted data or gains access to the computation environment, they cannot derive the original plaintext or the result without the corresponding private key. The signed results are then decrypted using the public key, allowing the recipient to verify the correctness of the computation without ever seeing the intermediate encrypted data. This method provides strong security guarantees, including confidentiality and integrity, making it particularly useful in scenarios where sensitive data must be processed securely, such as in financial transactions, healthcare, and government applications.
