In my opinion, homomorphic encryption is the new quantum computing. Remember all the hype there was 15 years ago, around the time the first quantum computers were being demonstrated? I think homomorphic encryption will be the same: it&#x27;s an interesting concept, and it has some specific use cases where it excels at, but I think we&#x27;ll see that it doesn&#x27;t really beat traditional encryption for most realistic needs.
