Popular Science 1: Is Fully Homomorphic Encryption Likely to Prevail?
In the era of artificial intelligence, especially after the explosion of AI agents this year, humanity will become incredibly dependent on AI. What you rely on at a certain point will become your Achilles' heel, leading to a security issue. How to ensure safety without fail? Traditional data security involves three processes: encryption, computation, and decryption. Any exposed link in this chain can potentially lead to a significant security crisis.
Thus, someone proposed Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), which is remarkable because it can perform various computations directly on encrypted data, and the computation results remain encrypted throughout, greatly protecting privacy and security. Apart from this technology, traditional security technologies also include ZK and MPC. ZK mainly protects privacy, while MPC is akin to combining multiple keys. Compared to these, the advantages of fully homomorphic encryption are outlined below.
