for privacy-preserving collaborative computation.
HE enables computations to be performed directly on
encrypted data, so sensitive inputs remain
confidential throughout the process. MPC enables
multiple parties, each with private inputs, to jointly
compute a function without revealing their data to one
another. The process starts with a jointly generated
public-private key pair. A public key is used to
encrypt individual inputs, whereas the private key is
divided into shares held by participants.
Homomorphic operations are carried out on
encrypted inputs. Addition or multiplication on
ciphertexts is ensured to correspond to equivalent
operations on plaintexts. Finally, this encrypted
outcome gets decrypted collectively by the private
key shared by them and cannot be decrypted by any
of the party members. This HE integrated with MPC
guarantees both the computation to be accurate as
well as data privacy.
3.4.3 Homomorphic Encryption Integrated
with Secure Multi-Party Computation
HE, with MPC, allows various parties to collaborate
and perform a function on their respective private
inputs without revealing it. In reality, it is an
encryption technology where the computation is done
directly over the encrypted data without any input
revealed. The scheme encrypts private information of
each party with a public key and shares that encrypted
data for joint computation. Using HE's properties
such as additive or multiplicative homomorphism, the
server or participants then do the desired computation
on the encrypted inputs. This computation on the
ciphertexts maps directly to equivalent computation
on the plaintexts, thus correct. The ciphertext thus
generated is decrypted cooperatively among all
parties with common decryption keys. Shared
decryption ensures no party obtains the result or some
intermediate computation without reliance on any
other party, hence security and integrity are
preserved.
4 CONCLUSIONS
This is a leap forward transformation in secure
distributed computing, where homomorphic
cryptography and edge computing revolutionize
processing data at the network edge. Through our
deep analysis of the mathematical foundations on
which homomorphic cryptographic algorithms
depend, such as the LWE and RLWE problems, we
have established what the theoretical strengths are
and where current implementations run short. Even
though algebraic structures and mathematical
frameworks that rely on polynomial rings and lattice-
based constructions are considered robust security
guaranties, with which computations are feasible over
ciphertext, these indeed also raise high challenges
related to the overheads in computation and resources
consumption on the edge side. This area promises a
very bright future ahead in the direction of further
efficient algebraic structures, advanced noise
management techniques, and optimized methods for
parameter selection especially tailored to edge
computing constraints. The future of edge computing
will be on the integration of homomorphic
cryptography, based on the advancement that has
been going on both theoretically in mathematics and
practically in techniques for implementation toward
optimized performance within resource-constrained
environments while maintaining robust security
guarantees.
