Homomorphic Encryptions allow performing operations such as addition and multiplication over data while it is encrypted. Therefore, it allows keeping data private while outsourcing computation (see [here](http://homomorphicencryption.org/) and [here](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/homomorphic-encryption/) for more about Homomorphic Encryptions and its applications).
