CSO: This new cipher tech could break you out of your Gen AI woes

Excerpt:

Experts are toying with the idea that homomorphic encryption might just be the secret weapon against this menace — and that a few bold projects might already be testing the waters.

“It is possible that people have already done this on a small scale, i.e, encrypting data that goes into the Gen AI model homomorphically which prevents people from reading it directly,” said Mark Hovarth, VP analyst, Gartner. [...]

This idea isn’t just theoretical. Companies like Enveil are already showcasing how homomorphic encryption can be harnessed in practical AI applications. Enveil’s flagship ZeroReveal solutions enable encrypted searches and secure AI model interactions. Their technology allows users to query AI models while keeping both the queries and responses encrypted, ensuring that no sensitive information is exposed during processing. 

“Imagine you wanted to ask Google some questions and you didn’t want anyone to know what you asked or what the results were because that’ll help them figure out what you asked,” Horvath said. “Enveil allows you to do that.”
