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.

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.
