OpenFHE Brings New Encryption Tools to Developers

The open source fully homomorphic encryption library from Duality Technologies is intended to help developers build their own FHE-enabled applications

While there are several well-established methods for encrypting data in storage (at rest) and keeping the data encrypted while moving across the network from one system to another (in transit), that isn’t the case for keeping the data encrypted while being processed by applications (in use). Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is one way to work with data stored in the cloud or third-party environments while keeping it encrypted.

Several companies have been experimenting with FHE recently. After completing FHE field trials, IBM has begun offering FHE service on IBM Cloud. IBM offers a FHE toolkit for MacOS, iOS, Linux, and Android. Microsoft’s Simple Encrypted Arithmetic Library (SEAL) is a free and open-source cross platform homomorphic encryption library organizations can use to run computations on encrypted data.

And just last week, Duality Technologies released OpenFHE, an open source fully homomorphic encryption library.

"There are several FHE libraries out there, but they suffer from a usability dilemma," Vinod Vaikuntanathan, co-founder and chief cryptographer at Duality Technologies, said in a release. "FHE open source libraries all work on different platforms, implement different features, and have different APIs."

OpenFHE supports advanced FHE features such as bootstrapping, scheme switching, and multiple hardware acceleration backends using the standard Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). The associated compilers and other developer tools help developers integrate the library’s encrypted computing capabilities to create their own FHE-enabled applications.

FHE is considered to be the easiest among privacy technology and OpenFHE is intended to be a “foundational building block” for conducting computations on encrypted data,
