| Jun 5 at 21:06 | comment | added | Ja1024 | @security_paranoid: Of course homomorphic encryption is used for protecting the confidentiality of data (which may be stored in an SQL database or anywhere else). That's the whole point. But you specifically claimed that you could prevent SQL injections by encrypting queries. That's obviously an entirely different topic, so I was asking for references on this specific idea. If you misspoke or misunderstood the purpose of homomorphic encryption, this is fine. But the approach you initially described was very odd, hence my question. | |

Also, to answer your questions in the comments- a quick google search showed many, many sites explaining homomorphic encryption in the context of sql databases- including this one- dualitytech.com/blog/… | |
