We present EHT (Elliptic Homomorphic Token), a generalized cryptographic framework that bridges the gap between theoretical homomorphic encryption and practical, verifiable encrypted computation. EHT is built on an elliptic-curve–based partial homomorphic encryption scheme (EC-ElGamal) and extends it with verifiable digital signatures (EHDSA) and zero-knowledge policy proofs (zk-FIDNA), enabling both confidentiality and integrity in distributed execution environments.Unlike lattice-based fully homomorphic encryption, which suffers from high computational cost and ciphertext expansion, EHT preserves constant-size ciphertexts and achieves O(1) amortized complexity per operation, allowing real-time encrypted computation even in large-scale systems. The proposed four-layer architecture separates cryptographic primitives from domain-specific semantics, enabling seamless interoperability across heterogeneous applications such as encrypted databases, federated learning, web authentication, and blockchain transaction networks.Through its tokenized abstraction, EHT allows operations—query execution, aggregation, verification—to be performed directly on ciphertexts while maintaining verifiability through EHDSA and zk-FIDNA proofs.Experimental results demonstrate sub-millisecond elliptic-curve operations, achieving over 8,000 homomorphic additions per second on commodity hardware with less than 2% overhead relative to baseline elliptic-curve performance. EHT thus represents a cryptographically lightweight yet distributedly scalable homomorphic framework: compact enough for real-time use, verifiable enough for regulatory and enterprise environments, and extensible enough to support post-quantum and cross-domain adaptations. By unifying encryption, verification, and computation into a single token-based execution model, EHT advances the state of privacy-preserving technology toward a truly encrypted, interoperable, and verifiable computation fabric.
