GUEST ESSAY: Achieving end-to-end data security with the right ‘fully homomorphic encryption’

The Last Watchdog

It was first introduced in 2009 by Craig Gentry, a computer scientist, in his PhD thesis, A Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme. Gentry’s breakthrough provided a solution to the long-standing problem in cryptography—performing arbitrary computations on encrypted data without needing to decrypt it first. The good news?
