"The Future of Fully Homomorphic Encryption"

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables computation on encrypted data, or ciphertext, to maintain data protection at all times. It allows the use of untrusted networks and improves data privacy. FHE is a sophisticated cryptographic method considered the "holy grail of encryption," as it allows users to process encrypted data while the data or models remain encrypted, guaranteeing data privacy throughout the data computation process. Brandon Reagen, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and his colleagues are working on a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)-funded project called the "Data Protection in Virtual Environments" (DPRIVE) program, which aims to accelerate FHE computation to more usable levels. This article continues to discuss the concept of FHE and the work being done to advance it.
