cloud computing middleware
hi dear
as we know that data should be in encrypted form to preserve data privacy, in cloud computing we have a middleware that is installed on client machine to encrypt/decrypt data. in this case encrypted data is used in computation instead of unencrypted data. is it possible to implement such middleware at web-side rather than at client side to free client from this headache?

in this case encrypted data is used in computation instead of unencrypted data.
 
Please provide more information about that. Computations over encrypted data makes no sense.
 
The middleware might decrypt the data before computation, but then the computation would be on decrypted data instead encrypted data. And that’s the opposite of what you said.
 
Please provide a representative example of the end-to-end process. This should include how to store data in the cloud, how to make requests through the middleware and how the middleware returns results of a request.
