Homomorphic Encryption (HE) Explained: A Beginner’s Guide to Secure AI on Encrypted Data
Imagine this: You send a message to a server. That message is completely encrypted—nobody can read it. But the server still knows whether your message is harmful or not. It didn't decrypt it. It didn't peek inside. It just... ran a program on the encrypted data. Sounds like magic? That’s Homomorphic Encryption (HE). In this post, we’ll break down what homomorphic encryption is, why it matters in today’s privacy-first digital world, and how you can start experimenting with it—even if you don’t have a background in cryptography or security.
