FHE for developers

The core of our FHE work is an open ecosystem with a decade of development. Join our community of contributors for the open source toolkits, HElib, or our dependency libraries (NTL and GMP).

FHE innovations for you

Explore our toolkits to develop applications designed for data privacy on MacOS, iOS, Linux and Z. Learn how to build your own FHE applications on the the worlds most mature FHE cloud run-time.

Learn the basics

Never decrypt your data, even during computation. Fully Homomorphic Encryption makes it possible to preserve privacy whilst querying data. FHE has the potential to transform the way we interact with data.
