Abstract
While cloud services can offer processing from personal devices or synthesized data from multiple sources, many users prefer their data to remain private. According to some embodiments, private user data may be processed in the cloud without revealing the user identity to the cloud service provider. Only the user or an authorized agent of the user and the service's hardware platform have access to certain keys. The service application software and operating system only have access to encrypted data.
