Fully Homomorphic Encryption

Protects data while in use, closing the last major vulnerability in cloud and remote processing.

FHE is a quantum secure form of cryptography often described as the “holy grail” of confidentiality-preserving computing. It is a form of cryptography that preserves the structure of data even when encrypted, allowing any computation to be performed on information stored in ciphertext form.

Data is never decrypted and never exposed even to the hardware working on it. However, the cost and complexity of FHE has made it nearly impossible to deploy at massive scale.

Optalysys has the solution.

Optalysys enables FHE at scale

Optalysys is on a mission to take global data security to the next level.

Our technology enables FHE at the scale demanded by the largest and most intensive secure data applications.

Our solution combines cutting-edge electronic architecture with next-generation optical computing to achieve the next level of FHE performance, beyond the limitations of conventional computing.

The result?

  • The most valuable insights from the most secure datasets.
  • Collaboration with the guarantee of confidentiality.
  • The next evolution of commercial data security.

Made possible by Optalysys

Read how our unique optical approach to computing can provide a single solution for every FHE scheme by accelerating the core mathematical operations.

Medical and genomic analysis

FHE enables secure genomic analysis, allowing checks for inheritable disease without risking some of the most private information imaginable.

FHE also provides opportunities for mass-scale clinical studies to be run in a fraction of the time.

Industrial monitoring​

The rise of digital twinning and smart factories requires a massive rise in industrial data capture.

FHE opens the door to encrypting the most commercially sensitive analytics.

Optalysys: What we’ve done (And why we did it)

About us

We are a deep tech company operating out of Leeds, UK.

We are engineers, scientists and mathematicians working towards something incredible.

We are hiring

For a multi-disciplinary team focused on the commercial development of an optical accelerator for FHE.

Our technology is both unique and uniquely valuable. We’re looking for people to help bring Optalysys technology to the commercial market.

It’s not often that you work on two novel technologies at the same time. Everything we do in this space is new. Every day is a world first.
