Editing Encrypted function (section)

An '''encrypted function''' is an attempt to provide [[mobile code]] privacy without providing any [[tamper-resistance|tamper-resistant]] hardware. It is a method where in mobile code can carry out [[cryptography|cryptographic]] primitives. 

[[polynomial function|Polynomial]] and [[rational function]]s are [[encrypted]] such that their transformation can again be implemented, as programs consisting of [[cleartext]] instructions that a [[central processing unit|processor]] or [[interpreter (computing)|interpreter]] understands. The processor would not understand the program's function. This field of study is gaining popularity as mobile cryptography.
