Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 416

What is an experimental technology that is intended to create the possibility of processing encrypted data without having to decrypt it first?

Answer options

• A. Quantum-state
• B. Polyinstantiation
• C. Homomorphic
• D. Gastronomic

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Homomorphic, as it refers to a type of encryption that allows computations to be performed on ciphertexts, producing an encrypted result that, when decrypted, matches the result of operations performed on the plaintext. Quantum-state and Polyinstantiation are not related to processing encrypted data in this manner, and Gastronomic is unrelated to encryption technologies.
