Research on Privacy Protection of Homomorphic Encryption Technology in Software Supply Chain Data Transmission

Abstract

With the acceleration of the globalization process of the software supply chain, the risk of privacy leakage during data transmission is becoming increasingly prominent. Although traditional encryption technology can ensure the confidentiality of data transmission, it cannot meet the privacy protection requirements of the data processing stage. Homomorphic encryption technology, with its "computable but invisible" feature, provides a new solution for data transmission in the software supply chain. This paper systematically analyzes the application value of homomorphic encryption technology in the software supply chain, discusses its technical advantages and implementation challenges, and proposes targeted optimization strategies. Research shows that homomorphic encryption technology can effectively balance data availability and privacy protection requirements, providing key support for building a secure and trustworthy software supply chain ecosystem.
