Homomorphic Encryption for Financial Cryptography

Book excerpt: This book offers insights on efficient utilization of homomorphic encryption (HE) for financial cryptography in confidentiality, phishing, anonymity, object and user identity protection. Homomorphic encryption has the potential to be a game-changer for the industry and cloud industry. HE method in cloud computing is presented in this book as a solution to increase the security of the data. Moreover, this book provides details about the set of fundamentals of cryptography, classical HE systems, properties of HE schemes, challenges and opportunities in HE methods, key infrastructure, problem of key management, key sharing, current algorithmic strategies and its limitation in implementation for solving complex problems in financial cryptography, application in blockchain, multivariate cryptosystems based on quadratic equations to avoid the explosion of the coefficients.
