Abstract : Homomorphic encryption is a vital cryptographic technique that enables computations on encrypted data while preserving privacy and security. Understanding the diverse landscape of homomorphic encryption schemes is crucial for both researchers and practitioners. To facilitate this understanding, we introduce HECAT, the Homomorphic Encryption Classification and Taxonomy. HECAT is a comprehensive framework designed to classify and categorize homomorphic encryption schemes based on various attributes, including mathematical operations, security levels, use cases, and practical implementations. This taxonomy serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to navigate the complex field of homomorphic encryption and make informed decisions about its application in diverse scenarios. By providing a structured overview of the field, HECAT aims to promote the adoption and development of homomorphic encryption for secure and privacy-preserving data processing.

Keywords : Homomorphic, Encryption, Classification, Taxonomy.
