The codebook-based homomorphic compression system is a novel approach that combines data compression and homomorphic encryption to enable efficient and secure computation on compressed data. It involves quantizing the input data, generating an optimized codebook using techniques like Huffman coding or deep learning, and compressing the data by replacing each value with its corresponding codeword.

Homomorphic properties of the encryption scheme enable operations like addition and multiplication on the ciphertexts, while preserving the confidentiality of the underlying data. The system also incorporates error correction techniques to mitigate the impact of quantization and encryption on the accuracy of the computations. This approach combines the benefits of data compression and homomorphic encryption, enabling efficient storage, transmission, and secure computation on compressed data.
