GK Question

technology hard true_false

Homomorphic encryption allows computations on encrypted data without decrypting it first.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: True

Homomorphic encryption enables performing calculations on ciphertext, producing encrypted results that, when decrypted, match operations performed on plaintext. Critical for privacy-preserving cloud computing, secure voting, and confidential AI inference. Still computationally intensive but advancing with research and hardware acceleration.
