Zama is an open-source encryption project that aims to solve problems using the Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) method, combined with blockchain and AI. With a team of experienced members who have spent many years in the cryptocurrency sector, Zama aims to bring a unique perspective with its proprietary encryption method.
What Does the Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) Method of the Zama Project Do?
Instead of the traditional encryption methods used for system security, the Zama team aims to fully secure users’ data with their named Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) method. The company provides this service by supporting strong blockchain infrastructures with AI models.
From data breaches and surveillance of cloud applications to blockchain smart contracts where everything is open to everyone, making things safe and fast online is becoming more complex. For the Zama team, the only way to solve this is to encrypt everything end-to-end, regardless of where the application runs. They aim to achieve this with the Fully Homomorphic Encryption method.
