The world’s largest mission-driven open source conference, Open Camps aims to “break down barriers to technology innovation through open source governance, communities and collaboration.” The Inpher team presented the _ultra development platform for application-level security and privacy at the Search Camp session in New York on July 10th. The paradigm of trust in computing changes with new methods to share and query encrypted data with standard search and storage platforms such as Solr and Hadoop. Sensitive information can be computed in untrusted environments wherein the hosting provider has zero knowledge. The session highlighted how enterprises from insurance companies to healthcare providers are securing a path to scale in the public cloud for big data storage, sharing and analytics.
