- Abstract
Cloud computing is a technology that is growing in popularity as it reduces the investment burden for infrastructure, software, hardware or any kind of resource in an organization. However, one of the biggest issues in implementing cloud remains data security. To ensure security, there are lots of traditional encryption algorithms such as play fair cipher and DES, but these algorithms are only used to encrypt plain text into cipher text in communication. For processing on cloud, it requires to convert cipher text into plain text which can become an easy target for hackers. This issue can be overcome with a popular algorithm, namely, homomorphic encryption. It is a technique which ensures secure transmission and secure processing of data on cloud without compromising privacy. In this paper, we have discussed the concept and significance of homomorphic encryption through examples. By using a case, the RSA algorithm is done and the practical use of partial homomorphic encryption technique is demonstrated. Also, the performance of RSA partial homomorphic encryption algorithm is compared with that of Paillier algorithm in terms of encryption and decryption time.
