About this episode

Dr. Kurt Rohloff discusses the capabilities and applications of Fully Homomorphic Encryption in securing data while it remains encrypted.

What if you could crunch numbers on a dataset without ever actually seeing the sensitive information inside? Dr. Kurt Rohloff, co-founder and CTO of Duality Technologies, joins host Konstantinos Karagiannis to explain the wild capabilities of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), which allows for computation on data while it remains fully encrypted. Because FHE is built on lattice-based cryptography, it offers robust post-quantum security properties right out of the box. Learn how this technology provides end-to-end protection not just for data at rest or in motion, but for data in use. FHE effectively turns the cloud into a secure processing powerhouse where privacy will remain uncompromised even after the threat of quantum computing arrives. From revolutionizing rare disease research by aggregating data across global medical centers to identifying international financial criminals without exposing private bank records, the real-world applications Rohloff describes are staggering. He discusses how Duality is replacing months of legal red tape and NDAs with "cup of coffee time" queries and pushing the boundaries of AI by protecting sensitive Large Language Model (LLM) workloads…
