Using Fully Homomorphic Encryption to Build Real-World Software

Vishakh

Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) enables computation over encrypted data, allowing third parties to process information without ever seeing it. This talk explores recent practical advances in FHE, with actionable guidance for developers building privacy-preserving applications. Along the way, there will be a discussion on the different mental models required to design systems around encrypted computation, as well as the limitations that still stand in the way of broader adoption.
