Microsoft demonstrates "homomorphic encryption" capabilities

http://j.mp/ow2VK3  (MIT Technology Review)

   "Researchers at Microsoft have taken a step toward making something
    similar possible for cloud computing, so that data sent to an Internet
    server can be used without ever being revealed. Their prototype can
    perform statistical analyses on encrypted data despite never
    decrypting it. The results worked out by the software emerge fully
    encrypted, too, and can only be interpreted using the key in the
    possession of the data's owner."

As you can imagine, this is a research area of great interest, which
is really only in its infancy right now.
