Abstract

The concept, method, algorithm and application of the advanced field of cryptography, homomorphic encryption, as well as its application to the field of blockchain are discussed in this paper. There are various forms of homomorphic encryption and they can be classified into three categories: partially homomorphic encryption, hierarchical homomorphic encryption and fully homomorphic encryption. We explain the concept, method and algorithm for each category with down to earth examples. The milestone example of RSA algorithm is explained which is still widely used in the internet and in blockchain as well. Applications of homomorphic encryption depends on efficiency of implementation which has been in good progress in recent years.
