🚀 Feature

Explore about integrating Homomorphic Encryption for Enhanced Data Security

Motivation

This feature would theoretically enable the secure use of sensitive data for training purposes without exposing actual data values.

Thanks to Craig Pfeifer for the suggestion.

This is a preliminary idea and would need thorough investigation and feasibility studies before implementation.

Let's keep this closed for now.

the encrypted chunks are to be passed to nn modules, and

According to GROK:

  • homomorphic encryption computations introduces significant computational overhead & complexity
  • nn layers like, conv, and non-linear layers like, relu, etc are not natively supported by homomorphic encryption

Thank you and Craig Pfeifer for the suggestion! If new use cases or more efficient HE solutions emerge, we can revisit this in the future.
