Definition

Homomorphic Encryption is a form of encryption that allows AI models to perform computations on encrypted data without decrypting it, preserving privacy throughout processing.

How It Works

Mathematical operations performed on encrypted data produce encrypted results that, when decrypted, match operations on unencrypted data. Different schemes support various operation types.

The technology enables cloud AI services to process sensitive data without ever accessing the raw information.

Why It Matters

Homomorphic Encryption could revolutionize AI in healthcare, finance, and government by enabling computation on data too sensitive to share. It provides the strongest privacy guarantees.

Though computationally intensive today, improving efficiency is making practical applications feasible.
