Homomorphic encryption enables computation on encrypted data without decryption. It uses mathematical operations that, when applied to ciphertext, produce results that, when decrypted, match the outcome of operations performed on the plaintext. For example, multiplying two encrypted numbers yields ciphertext that, when decrypted, equals the product of the original numbers. This allows secure outsourcing of computations to untrusted servers, as data remains encrypted throughout the process, preserving privacy while enabling useful operations like data analysis.
