Imagine being able to perform any computational operation over any kind of data but do it while the data is fully encrypted. That is the promise of fully homomorphic encryption.
Fully homomorphic encryption was first theorized in the 1970s, but the first proposal for a plausible construction of a fully homomorphic encryption scheme didn’t arrive until 2009. We are now in the fourth-generation of fully homomorphic encryption and although performance is still a blocker for many applications, there’s been a series of major breakthroughs allowing real world application to take advantage of the approach.
Dr. Avradip Mandal received his PhD from the University of Luxembourg where his research focused on cryptography, in particular homomorphic encryption and theoretical symmetric key cryptography. He joins the show to describe what homomorphic encryption is, how it works, the history, and breakthroughs.

In this episode, Sean sat down with Jack Godau to dive deep into the world of pseudoanonymization. Jack shared how pseudoanonymization differs from anonymization, explaining its value for maintaining data utility while complying with stringent regulations like GDPR.
In this episode we explore how certificates and TLS function, the inherent difficulties in managing internal TLS certificates, and why nearly every engineer has a horror story related to it.
In this episode, we sit down with Ori Rafael, CEO and Co-founder of Upsolver, to explore the rise of the lakehouse architecture and its significance in modern data management.
