Which technique encrypts data in use, enabling computation on encrypted data without decryption?

  1. Homomorphic Encryption
  2. Format-Preserving Encryption
  3. Tokenization
  4. Data Masking

Answer: Homomorphic Encryption

Homomorphic Encryption allows computations on ciphertext, producing encrypted results that decrypt to correct output. Enables privacy-preserving cloud analytics, secure voting, and confidential AI. Still computationally intensive but advancing with research. Critical for privacy-enhancing technologies.
