ABSTRACT

Homomorphic encryption (HE) is a revolutionary cryptographic technique that enables computations on encrypted data without decryption. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of HE, its fundamental concepts, types, and applications, especially in privacy-preserving computations. This paper discusses the history, principles, and technical challenges of homomorphic encryption, alongside its practical implications in fields like secure data sharing, privacy-preserving data analysis, and machine learning. This paper also explores future research directions and potential advancements in homomorphic encryption technology.

Keywords: Homomorphic Encryption, Privacy-preserving Computation, Fully Homomorphic Encryption, Partially Homomorphic Encryption and Secure Multi-party Computation
