CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 312

Which of the following best describes the challenges associated with widespread adoption of homomorphic encryption techniques?

Answer options

• A. Incomplete mathematical primitives
• B. No use cases to drive adoption
• C. Quantum computers not yet capable
• D. Insufficient coprocessor support

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because homomorphic encryption requires significant computational resources, and without adequate coprocessor support, its performance is hindered. Options A, B, and C do not accurately reflect the primary barrier to adoption, as there are established mathematical foundations, use cases are being explored, and quantum computing is not a determining factor for current implementations.
