"Homomorphic Encryption Improves Cloud Security"

A team of researchers outlined a proposed homomorphic encryption system in the International Journal of Cloud Computing. Homomorphic encryption takes on a new approach to encryption by performing computations on encrypted data without having to decrypt the data first. This method of encryption addresses users' concerns surrounding cloud computing services regarding the exposure of private or personal data to a third-party entity such as the cloud service provider itself. This article continues to discuss homomorphic encryption, how this form of encryption improves cloud security, and issues of trust associated with cloud computing.
