Fully Homomorphic Encryption: the history

Fully Homomorphic Encryption: the history

Fully Homomorphic Encryption isn’t something that was cooked up by a cryptographer yesterday. How did we get where we are today?

HE already has a considerable history and has been approached in different ways. For years, attempts have been made to get FHE to work without success. Until Craig Gentry at IBM came up with the first completely homomorphic encryption in October 2008.

Fully Homomorphic Encryption: what and why?

Fully Homomorphic Encryption: what and why?

Homomorphic Encryption is considered the holy grail of encryption, but what is it and how can it be used?

You may have heard of it, but it probably doesn’t mean anything to you yet: Homomorphic Encryption. In short, it is a form of encryption in which data can be converted into a ciphertext, while they can be analyzed as if they were still in their original form. Sounds interesting? Then read on!
