Homomorphic Encryption
Homomorphic Encryption (HE) is a cryptographic framework that allows arbitrary computations to be performed directly on encrypted data without requiring decryption. First realized as a fully general construction by Craig Gentry in 2009 using ideal lattices, it enables a server to process sensitive data and return an encrypted result that, when decrypted by the data owner, equals the result of performing the same computation on the plaintext. It is foundational to privacy-preserving machine learning, secure cloud computing, and confidential analytics.

Citations copied verbatim from the method’s source record. No claim-level verification is inferred from them.
Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
