I bet you never heard of FHE. Me neither. Then I got a pitch about it. Tried to ignore it because I had never herd of it, but they were insistent. Turns out to be interesting.

Fully homomorphic encryption, or FHE, has been talked about for about five years but not it has its very own industry association and NIST is starting to take it very seriously. It doesn't eliminate quantum encryption standards, but it might be a better defense against nation state attempts to break the strongest modern encryption, although I still think that's more a fever dream than a potential reality.

One of the members of the new association with the unfortunate name of FHETCH, Niobium put me in front of the chief product officer, Jorge Myszne, to give me the lowdown on this tech.
