A financial institution would like to store its customer data in a cloud but still allow the data to be accessed and manipulated while encrypted. Doing so would prevent the cloud service provider from being able to decipher the data due to its sensitivity. The financial institution is not concerned about computational overheads and slow speeds. Which of the following cryptographic techniques would BEST meet the requirement?

  • A. Asymmetric
  • B. Symmetric
  • C. Homomorphic
  • D. Ephemeral

Selected Answer: C
Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption that allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it. This means that the cloud service provider cannot decipher the data even when performing operations on it. With homomorphic encryption, the financial institution can store the customer data in an encrypted form and perform calculations or operations on the encrypted data directly within the cloud environment, without the need to decrypt it. This ensures the security and privacy of the sensitive data while still allowing it to be processed and manipulated.

So I had a similar question from a guide that I have. And it was like this: the question and the answer Your organization maintains a data center to store data. Management has decided to move a large amount of financial data into cloud storage to reduce costs with the data center. This data is regularly accessed and sometimes manipulated by employees, customers, and vendors around the world. Management has mandated that the data always needs to be encrypted while in the cloud. Which of the following is the BEST choice to meet these requirements? Homomorphic encryption allows data to be accessed and manipulated while it is encrypted

I agree that the answer is C: Homomorphic encryption allows data to remain encrypted while it is being processed. This allows people to access and manipulate the data without being able to see it because it remains encrypted.

The most popular example for the use of homomorphic encryption is where a data owner wants to send data up to the cloud for processing, but does not trust a service provider with their data. Using a homomorphic encryption scheme, the data owner encrypts their data and sends it to the server
