Homomorphic Encryption for Genomics Data Storage on a Federated Cloud: A Mini Review

This paper provides an analysis and review of the fundamental aspects of securing genomics data on a federated cloud. It highlights the concept of cloud computing and the security issues associated with it. Furthermore, the concept of genomics, ethical and privacy concerns relating to genomics data, and existing attacks on genomics data. Various cryptographic approaches to data breach the importance of employing homomorphic encryption schemes to safeguard genomics data. It discusses security issues in cloud computing, the concept of federation in cloud computing, the genomics concept and cryptographic approaches for protecting genomics data.
