Homomorphic Encryption for Production AI
RetiredNo longer on the radar
We removed this entry in the September 2026 release. Retiring is not a recommendation against it — it means the radar no longer needs a separate opinion here. The write-up below is kept as it was last published and is no longer maintained.
Overview
Homomorphic encryption for production AI inference remains largely impractical due to latency and operational complexity except in narrow research or highly regulated pilots (Microsoft SEAL).
Hold for general production LLM paths. Prefer differential privacy, federated learning, or confidential computing where threat models allow.
