Homomorphic Encryption

Summary

A cryptographic technique that allows computation on encrypted data without needing access to the plaintext.

Detailed Description

Homomorphic encryption enables specific types of computations to be performed on ciphertexts, generating an encrypted result that, when decrypted, matches the result of operations performed on the plaintext. This feature is vital for privacy-preserving data analysis and cloud computing, where sensitive data can be processed without exposing it directly.
