In the recent times, the use of cloud computing has gained popularity all over the world. There are lots of benefits associated with the use of this modern technology, however, there is a concern about the security of information during computation. A homomorphic encryption scheme provides a mechanism whereby arithmetic operation on the ciphertexts produces the same result as the arithmetic operation on plaintexts. Concept of homomorphic encryption (HME) is discussed with reviews, applications and future challenges to this promising field of research
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
