Exam CIPT topic 1 question 34 discussion

The correct answer is A. Encrypted information can be analyzed without decrypting it first. Homomorphic encryption allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without needing to decrypt it first. The results of these computations, when decrypted, match the results as if they had been performed on the unencrypted data. This feature enables secure data analysis and processing while maintaining privacy, making it a highly valuable technique in scenarios where sensitive data needs to be processed or analyzed without exposing it to potential threats.

Definitely A. C doesn't make sense performance wise, it'll just add computation overhead

it's A for sure

it's C

Definition of Homomorphic from iapp: Allows encrypted information to be manipulated without first being decrypted.

A is the answer

Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption that permits users to perform computations on its encrypted data without first decrypting it. ... This allows data to be encrypted and out-sourced to commercial cloud environments for processing, all while encrypted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption#:~:text=Homomorphic%20encryption%20is%20a%20form,data%20without%20first%20decrypting%20it.&text=This%20allows%20data%20to%20be,for%20processing%2C%20all%20while%20encrypted.

A should be correct. "Faster processing times" is tremendously erroneous for homomorphic encryption

Homomorphic encryption allows encrypted information to be manipulated without first being decrypted. Early homomorphic encryption was too slow to be of practical use but is now fast enough to use with some applications that require high degrees of privacy and security.
