Summary
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables computations on encrypted data without decryption, ensuring privacy in online interactions. The article discusses the practicality and significance of FHE in maintaining data confidentiality in real-world systems.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledImagine sending Google an encrypted question and getting back the exact results you wanted — without them having any way of knowing what your question was or what result they returned.
The first time I heard about what FHE does, I didn't believe it was possible. But it is — an it works in real-world systems today.
It allows arbitrary computations on ciphertext (encrypted data) — without needing to decrypt it first.
