Homomorphic Encryption's Impact on Data Privacy Discussed

/ 1 min read

🔒✨ Homomorphic encryption could revolutionize data privacy. A recent discussion highlights the potential of homomorphic encryption (HE) as a significant advancement in cryptography, allowing computations on encrypted data without exposing the original information. In this process, a client encrypts a query before sending it to a server, which processes the encrypted data and returns an encrypted response, ensuring that the server never accesses the decryption key or the original request. Despite its promise, concerns remain about the practicality and security of HE, especially given its historical reputation for being resource-intensive. As developments continue, the implications for privacy in applications like Apple’s photo services could be profound.
