Homomorphic Primitives

Definition

Homomorphic primitives are fundamental cryptographic building blocks that enable specific mathematical operations to be performed on encrypted data without needing to decrypt it first. These primitives serve as the foundational elements for constructing more complex privacy-preserving systems, such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). They allow for secure computations while maintaining data confidentiality. These components are essential for privacy-preserving protocols.
