What is Homomorphic Data Encryption?

As technology advances, we are forced to do so; we cannot prevent the confidentiality of even our conversations with each other on social media, including our personal information, from being compromised.

Although many messaging programs now say that they encrypt the data and transmit it, it is possible for someone to decipher and see the message you send, since they do the encryption themselves and know the password.

There are even programs designed just for this purpose, decryptor programs. Then, you see, all the information about you was revealed!

Let's say you are using a messaging program that encrypts your messages very well. Let's say the other party received the message without any problems.

They say that only what two people know is not a secret. What if you actually don't want anyone else to know the information about you, but you are forced to tell that information to someone else?

Don't ask how, for example, you have a suspicion about something about your health and you need to have an examination. You get a blood test from the laboratory and then you have to send the blood test to your doctor at the health center.

But on the other hand, you are disturbed by the fact that this blood test is sent to you by e-mail, and you are perhaps transferring the same information in a virtual environment. You are uncomfortable that even the doctor at the health center knows that the test results belong to you.

Isn't there really an encryption method that no one can know or see?

Homomorphic data encryption does exactly what I say.

Encryption method where only you have access to readable information.

Let me try to explain it with mathematics to clarify the subject:

For example, it doesn't matter which operation you do first in multiplication and division. Let's say you multiply the number you want to know the result of by another number you know and send the result to the other party. When you divide that number by the number you multiplied at the beginning, you learn the correct result you want as a result of that complicated operation.

The other party does not know the actual number you should send because you sent a different number from the beginning.

In short, homomorphic data encryption works with a similar method.

If you want, you can send your personal information to the health center as homomorphic encrypted information, the password of which only you know, and you can send the blood test as standard encrypted information so that they can open and analyze it.

Or, if the data processing center you send is an artificial intelligence data processing center, which is a famous subject of recent days, you send all the information with homomorphic encryption. When you analyze the answer yourself, the system works like multiplication and division in mathematics.

I don't know the technical details very well, but don't be surprised if you see somewhere that this program can be encrypted homomorphically. In short, this is what is called homomorphic encryption.

However, technology is advancing and if the password we use at first is a simple one, artificial intelligence will easily crack it. Do not say it is our password.

It is said that famous chip companies, including Intel, Darpa and ETRI, had to make some changes in their chip infrastructure in order to accurately analyze the data transmitted by this method.

In other words, the fact that this encryption method requires changes in hardware as well as software is proof that this method is a serious encryption method.

Let's see when this new data encryption method will become popular.

Technology is really advancing. I think it is useful to catch it from one end.

Stay with technology and science.
