Security News > 2021 > February > Homomorphic encryption: Myths and misconceptions

I like tackling misconceptions relating to innovative technical advancements in my own line of work, and here I'll talk about homomorphic encryption.

Here are four misconceptions about homomorphic encryption that should be considered by anyone interested in potential use cases.

In most scenarios, the homomorphic encryption capability can be delivered within the data aggregator's existing environment without the data needing to be moved or changed in any way.

Myth #4: A homomorphic encryption library is a homomorphic encryption solution.

Think of it this way: a homomorphic encryption solution is the house; homomorphic encryption libraries are the raw lumber.

Vendors providing homomorphic encryption solutions have already built the house and many times leverage various homomorphic encryption libraries - while some may require remodeling to ensure the product addresses specific needs, the heavy lifting is done.
