Homomorphic Encryption/Evidence
Method evidence record

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.
