Module Homomorphic

Definition

Module homomorphic describes a property of certain cryptographic schemes where computations can be performed directly on encrypted data without needing to decrypt it first. This allows for processing sensitive information while maintaining its confidentiality throughout the computation. While fully homomorphic encryption permits arbitrary computations, module homomorphic schemes typically support specific types of operations, offering a practical balance between privacy and computational efficiency. It is a key concept in privacy-preserving data processing.
