Homomorphic Property

Definition

The homomorphic property in cryptography allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without first decrypting it. This cryptographic feature permits processing sensitive information while it remains in a secure, concealed state. It is crucial for privacy-preserving computations, especially in cloud environments or decentralized networks where data confidentiality is paramount. This property maintains data confidentiality during analytical operations, protecting sensitive information.
