The Joy of Secure Computation

Samson, betrayed by Delilah after revealing the secret of his strength

הַנִּסְתָּרֹת לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהַנִּגְלֹת ֹלָֹנוֹּ ֹוֹּלְֹבָֹנֵֹיֹנֹוּ עַד עוֹלָם לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת כָּל דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת

Deut. 29, 29

There is a pain, a void in your heart, an aching to be safe: the Adversary covets your secrets, with weapons not of this world, trying to read your mind to keep it blind. And predominantly helped by the “information revelation” dilemma: when you loose the lock that keep your lips closed, you risk to loose that precious treasure that you own even more than the clothes that dress you; your thoughts and information. On the other hand, as the mind is inscrutable to other humans, your information is rendered your property under a Higher Law. So let it be this fundamental dilemma of human existence: what to say or what to keep; how to reconcile talking and keeping secrets?

Rejoice! I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all! From now on and thanks to secure computation, deus ex machina, you can use other’s information without falling into the temptation of misappropiating it; or let others use your own information without it being stolen from you!

Hallelujah!
