Fully Homomorphic Encryption

Fully homomorphic encryption is an encryption scheme that allows computers to perform arbitrary computations on encrypted data. This type of encryption is important because it allows for the secure processing of sensitive information without the need to decrypt the data first. Fully homomorphic encryption schemes are typically very complex and computationally expensive, which has limited their practical use. However, recent advances in cryptography have led to the development of more efficient fully homomorphic encryption schemes that are beginning to see use in a variety of applications.
