There&#x27;s a range of algorithms that support homomorphism.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;ElGamal_encryption" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;ElGamal_encryption</a><p>ElGamal is very simple and supports multiplicative homomorphism. If you do it over an elliptic curve, this changes to additive.<p>Another is NTRU, but it&#x27;s naturally addictively homomorphic.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;NTRUEncrypt" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;NTRUEncrypt</a><p>The values are added modulus 3 though so I&#x27;m not aware of any applications for it.<p>For example, adding cipher texts of the plaintexts [1,2,0,0] and [1,1,0,1] results in [2,0,0,1]
