Cloud computing has revolutionized the way data is stored and processed, offering unparalleled flexibility and scalability. However, it also raises significant concerns about data security and privacy. This research paper explores the role of homomorphic encryption in enhancing data security in cloud computing. Homomorphic encryption is a promising cryptographic technique that allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it, thus preserving data confidentiality. This paper reviews the fundamentals of cloud computing, discusses the challenges associated with data security in the cloud, and delves into the concepts, advantages, and challenges of homomorphic encryption. It also examines real-world use cases, applications, and recent advancements in homomorphic encryption. The research concludes that homomorphic encryption is a powerful tool for enhancing data security in cloud computing and offers recommendations for its adoption and implementation.
