Organizations are starting to take an interest in homomorphic encryption, which allows computation to be performed directly on encrypted data without requiring access to a secret key. While the ...

The problem with encrypted data is that you must decrypt it in order to work with it. By doing so, it’s vulnerable to the very things you were trying to protect it from by encrypting it. There is a ...

A few years ago, mentioning homomorphic encryption (HE) among colleagues in the security space, much less in a business context, would either elicit blank stares or a sigh, followed by a hopeful "if ...

What do you do when you need to perform computations on large data sets while preserving their confidentiality? In other words, you would like to gather analytics, for example, on user data, without ...

A startup named Ravel claims breakthroughs in fully homomorphic encryption, a hotly-pursued method for analyzing encrypted data without ever decrypting it. Now imagine another approach: instead of ...

Helical founder Eric Hess discusses how homomorphic encryption could change the way data is transferred and processed securely. While advances in data analytics have enabled businesses to gain ...

How FHE has evolved from a theoretical concept to a practical technology that’s ready for real-world applications. The unique benefits and challenges of implementing FHE, including why specialized ...
