Idea for privacy-enhanced web apps
bayareaguy: Isn't this already trivial with EC2?  What's the difference between what you're proposing and just signing up for an Amazon account, uploading your certificates and launching an AMI with whatever application you want?Also given that corporate types seem to have no problem with Salesforce.com, I'm not sure they would care. But perhaps if you came up with some tricky multi-party protocol that ensured Salesforce.com or no other single party could redistribute your private data even if they wanted to then you may have something worthwhile.
