Low-Power encrypted computing solutions

Smartphones, smartwatches, smart health devices, and pervasive smart sensors are becoming enmeshed in our daily lives, generating a flood of data that help keep us safe, healthy, and informed. As we see more sources of data, like these low-resource client devices, there is an increasing demand for sophisticated computing on those data, especially to extract value from the data using machine learning. Low-resource devices have limited computing capabilities because of the energy limitation of their small batteries and typically simple computing hardware. To get around these shortcomings, these devices could instead use computational offloading, sending sensor data for processing to a nearby edge device or to the cloud. Offloading makes even very sophisticated data processing possible, but only with the concession that the server performing the processing has unencrypted access to the data.
