The idea is that this bootstrapping operation, which is very slow in homomorphic encryption, really boils down to doing a bunch of polynomial multiplications. So the same accelerators which are being used to accelerate ZK with those entities can actually be repurposed to accelerate FHE potential and vice versa. I think that we're going to see the first accelerator for homomorphic encryption available in the next couple of years. And my bet is that by 2025, homomorphic encryption is basically a done deal. It's solved. You can use it anywhere. Do you feel like FHE is meant to take the place of SGX in a way for these TEs or trusted execution
In this week’s episode, Anna revisits the topic of FHE with Rand Hindi, CEO at Zama. FHE stands for Fully Homomorphic Encryption, a cryptosystem that allows for computation to occur on encrypted inputs.
They discuss the FHE landscape, what specific use cases it is ideal for, where the technology is at and how FHE differs from MPC and ZK. They also explore some of the nuances of the different types of approaches to FHE to achieve this cryptographic environment where one can do computation in a truly private manner.
