CAS-005 · Question #8
Which of the following best describes the challenges associated with widespread adoption of homomorphic encryption techniques?
The correct answer is D. Insufficient coprocessor support. Fully homomorphic encryption schemes impose massive computational overhead, and without specialized hardware accelerators or co-processors to offload the heavy integer and polynomial arithmetic, performance remains prohibitive for broad deployment.
