The ever-increasing pace of digitalization, with its collection of data and the training of artificial intelligence on this data, is bringing the topic of privacy-preserving computing more and more into focus. One promising technology for implementing the privacy-preserving computing paradigm is homomorphic encryption, which has been driven forward in recent years and still holds great potential for improvement in the future. The training of future computer scientists in this field is therefore of crucial importance in order to put this key technology into practice in the future. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there is currently no course that provides students with insights into the theoretical foundations of homomorphic encryption and teaches the practical applicability and extensibility of existing homomorphic cryptosystems. To close this gap, we present our own lecture in this paper, which focuses on the combination of theory and application of homomorphic encryption. We created our lecture material according to the Design-Based Research principle. We held and evaluated our lecture at three German universities. Our lecture evaluations have shown that we have been able to create suitable lecture material on homomorphic encryption and its application, which we would like to share with other lecturers.
