Homomorphic Encryption

Homomorphic Encryption is a type of encryption that allows data to be processed and analyzed while still encrypted, meaning the data remains private. With this method, computations like adding or multiplying encrypted data produce an encrypted result that, once decrypted, matches the result of performing those operations on the original data. This enables secure data sharing and processing in cloud computing, finance, or healthcare, where privacy is critical. Essentially, it allows trusted third parties to perform calculations without ever seeing the actual sensitive information, ensuring privacy is maintained throughout the process.
