Apparently, there is a fully functional, RISC-like virtual CPU (built out of Boolean gates) that C can compile to and that one can use for processing your secret data on untrusted machines [0]... and a very, very beefy Amazon instance can emulate it running at ~1 Hz clock. No, not 1 kHz. 1 Hz. At which point I just had to stop and re-evaluate the problem again. If I have such a small amount of data that I am find at processing it at single-digit IPS (micro-MIPSes? geez...) then surely I could just process it locally, and much…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2010.09410/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
