A review of R&D in the FHE space: improvements to DevX, compiler developments in hybrid compilations & parameter optimisations, and an overview of specialised hardware complexities

There has always been a contentious trade-off between extracting utility from a user’s data and preserving their privacy— what if you could do both? This article gives an introduction to Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), a family of encryption schemes that allows users to perform computations on encrypted data, upending the utility-privacy trade-offs.
