Abstract

Within the ever-evolving landscape of cloud computing, the task of preserving data privacy while concurrently enabling computations on encrypted data emerges as a significant challenge. The sensitive balance between data privacy and computational functionality can be maintained in this dynamic environment. Starting upon an exploration of the comprehensive comparative analysis of Privacy-Preserving Homomorphic Encryption (HE) techniques, this research project explores into the core of secure cloud computing. It distinguishes Homomorphic Encryption from conventional encryption methods, making it a crucial solution for secure cloud computing. The answer lies in its unique ability to execute arithmetic computations on encrypted data, thus ensuring confidentiality throughout the processing phase. This study directs its focus towards advanced methods, including CKKS, Ripple, and lattice-based encryption, prompting the question: How do these sophisticated techniques compare to traditional methods such as Paillier, ElGamal, and BGV. The ensuing analysis seeks to combine the distinction of these approaches, unravelling their respective strengths and weaknesses. Our investigation is established in three fundamental research questions. Various HE techniques fare in terms of both computational efficiency and security robustness within cloud scenarios. The potential for integrating HE with emerging technologies like blockchain and advanced machine learning. Lastly, the ethical and societal implications support the deployment of advanced HE techniques in cloud computing.
