Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 201

A clinical research organization is processing highly sensitive personal data including numerical attributes, from medical trial results. The organization needs to manipulate the data without revealing the contents to data users. This can be achieved by utilizing?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Homomorphic encryption allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without needing to decrypt it first, thus keeping the data secure while still enabling processing. The other options, such as k-anonymity and microdata sets, do not provide the same level of security for sensitive data during manipulation, and polymorphic encryption does not specifically pertain to this context.
