Advancing Cryptography: Fully Homomorphic Encryption in Practice
In this session, R. Fareed (Cryptography Security Engineer) will deep dive into the cryptography behind Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Zama’s open‑source ecosystem, explaining how these complex systems work in practice. Then, Bryn Bennett (Head of Business Strategy) will simplify how Hacken can help you leverage FHE securely and effectively in your projects.
The core ideas behind FHE, why it matters for privacy‑preserving compute, and where TFHE fits among other schemes
How Zama’s open‑source stack (TFHE‑rs, Concrete, Concrete ML) is used in real applications—from encrypted smart contracts to private analytics and ML
What engineers and auditors should watch for when designing, integrating, or reviewing FHE‑based systems in production
Key points:
▫️ FHE fundamentals in plain language, tied to real engineering trade‑offs
▫️ How Zama’s tools plug into modern architectures (rollups, dApps, analytics pipelines)
▫️ Security pitfalls, audit findings, and hard‑won lessons from recent reviews of Zama’s libraries
Why attend?
FHE is quickly becoming a cornerstone of privacy‑preserving compute — but it’s easy to get the security details wrong. This session helps you understand what Zama actually enables, how to integrate it safely, and where real‑world risks show up in code and architecture.
Perfect for: engineers, protocol designers, security reviewers, and researchers exploring or auditing FHE‑based apps — and also CTOs, security leads, and product owners who want to see what Hacken’s cryptography services can actually do for their stack.
