Comment on MIT's Bitcoin-Inspired 'Enigma' Lets Computers Mine Encrypted Dataparent

Maybe I misunderstood, but it sounds like the service for distributing the work would have to be trusted (since with enough pieces of information you could decrypt the original data), which if true would remove the whole point of the system.

The idea is for the owner of the data to share her own data into the network. There could be many owners for different pieces of data.
