This book introduces the fundamental concepts of homomorphic encryption.
From these foundations, applications are developed in the fields of
private information retrieval, private searching on streaming data,
privacy-preserving data mining, electronic voting and cloud computing.
The content is presented in an instructional and practical style, with
concrete examples to enhance the reader's understanding. This volume
achieves a balance between the theoretical and the practical components
of modern information security. Readers will learn key principles of
homomorphic encryption as well as their application in solving real
world problems.
