All commercial activities are at the core protected by contractural protections and good faith. Cloud is not as different as you may think. Any other expectation of protection from the state are a limited based on probability, seriousness of the matter, and your potential culpability. Your employees, service providers and others can be required to provide information without informing you. In extreme cases, agents will pose as utility, security or building management. |

...and homeomorphic encryption would stop all of those attacks. Presuming it's a homeomorphically-encrypted substrate for an autonomous agent, making its own "evaluations" of the data it can perceive from the outside world (ala a smart contract with access to an oracle) rather than simply trusting data from the insecure domain that happens to be signed with the right key.
This is also, y'know, the security architecture that allows nuclear submarines to avoid being subverted by an enemy nation that has temporarily gained control of the White House. The sub's commander needs to know not only that they've received the order, but also that the world really looks like one where such an order would be legitimately given. The isolated secure agent, speaking to an insecure principal, needs not only proof of their credentials, but also needs to independently verify their claims about the state of the world. (And, if they can do that, the system is often architected such that the principal won't even communicate in the moment, but instead has just left flowchart-like orders in advance, involving various dead-man's-switch timers and so forth.)
