Homomorphic Evaluation

Definition

Homomorphic Evaluation describes the capability to perform computations on encrypted data without first decrypting it. This cryptographic technique allows for the processing of sensitive information while it remains in a protected state, preserving data privacy. The results of such computations are also encrypted, and only the authorized party with the decryption key can access the cleartext output. Homomorphic evaluation is a significant advancement for secure cloud computing and privacy-preserving data analytics.
