Homomorphic Encryption
A cryptographic technique that allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without requiring decryption, enabling privacy-preserving machine learning and data analysis.
In plain language
A special type of encryption that lets you run calculations on data while it stays locked. Imagine counting votes in a sealed ballot box without ever opening it.
Why this matters
Homomorphic encryption is an emerging technology for Privacy Act compliance and secure multi-party data analysis. It enables organisations to gain insights from sensitive data without exposing raw information, reducing privacy risk in collaborative AI initiatives.
