What type of encryption enables processing of encrypted data without the need to decrypt the data first?

Crypto-shredding
Encryption
Homomorphic Encryption
Key Management

The correct answer is: Homomorphic Encryption

Homomorphic encryption allows for the processing of encrypted data without having to decrypt it first. This is useful in situations where confidentiality and privacy are of utmost importance, such as in sensitive financial or healthcare data. Crypto-shredding is a technique in which data is securely erased or destroyed, so it is not relevant in this context. Regular encryption requires decryption in order to process the data. Key management deals with the creation, distribution, and storage of encryption keys, but does not enable processing of encrypted data without decryption. Therefore, the correct answer is homomorphic encryption.
