By integrating CryptoLab’s industry-leading homomorphic encryption software with Niobium’s state-of-the-art Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) acceleration hardware, the partnership aims to address one of AI’s most critical challenges: ensuring data privacy without compromising speed or functionality. Encrypted GenAI allows user queries and responses to remain encrypted even during computation: Inputs are unreadable as plain text even to the AI model itself, so user privacy is mathematically guaranteed at the quantum level.

The partnership between CryptoLab and Niobium will yield numerous industry benefits, including:

• Innovative FHE Acceleration: Combining Niobium’s cutting-edge FHE accelerator hardware with CryptoLab’s patented advanced HEaaN CKKS technology will dramatically speed up homomorphic encryption operations, paving the way for practical, real-world applications of privacy-preserving AI. Joint efforts will lead to fully encrypted GenAI/LLM inferencing at speeds comparable to unencrypted operations, eliminating the traditional trade-off between privacy and performance.
  
  
• Quantum-Resistant Security: Leveraging CryptoLab’s expertise in post-quantum cryptography, this partnership creates a formidable defense against both current and future cyber threats, including those from quantum computing.
  
  
• Scalable Privacy Solutions: The joint effort is focused on delivering turnkey privacy-preserving computation solutions, making advanced FHE technology accessible to businesses of all sizes. Private GenAI will drive breakthroughs across various sectors—from enabling secure, real-time analysis of sensitive healthcare data to transforming privacy standards in financial modeling and beyond.
  
  
• Global Standardization Leadership: CryptoLab and Niobium will lead efforts to establish new global standards for privacy-preserving AI, positioning themselves at the forefront of the Private AI movement.

Niobium and CryptoLab share a vision of a private and secure world enabled by FHE. This partnership is the first step to accelerate this vision while demonstrating unwavering commitment to innovation and the groundbreaking practical applications of FHE at scale.

Leadership Perspectives

“This partnership represents a quantum leap for Private AI,” stated Jung Hee Cheon, CEO of CryptoLab. “By collaborating with Niobium, we’re not just pushing the boundaries—we’re redefining the very foundations of secure, privacy-first artificial intelligence.”

Kevin Yoder, CEO of Niobium, added, “The synergy between our FHE acceleration technology and CryptoLab’s advanced software paves the way for a new era of data utilization. We’re not only safeguarding privacy but also unlocking the full potential of data in a secure environment.”
