GLOSSARY > HOMOMORPHIC ENCRYPTION
Homomorphic Encryption
A form of encryption that permits computation directly on ciphertext, producing an encrypted result matching operations run on the plaintext.
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) represents the holy grail of secure computation. It allows AI models to process and infer upon encrypted data without ever decrypting it in memory. This means an enterprise can send highly sensitive data to a cloud-based LLM, receive an encrypted prediction, and decrypt the result locally, ensuring the cloud provider mathematically cannot access the underlying data.
