FirstIgnite is supporting the commercialization of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory's new fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) technology, which enables data processing that does not compromise privacy, even in the face of capable and determined cyber adversaries. This form of encryption allows for computation and seamless querying of encrypted data while safeguarding the underlying information.

This technology applies to finance, government privacy protection, cloud management, data analytics, and healthcare, enabling predictive insights while protecting sensitive information. The global data privacy software market size is valued at $2.76 billion in 2023 and is expected to increase to $30.31 billion by 2030.

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory’s FHE technology is ready for collaboration (licensing, partnerships, industry feedback, etc.). Is your company the right fit? If you’d be available for a conversation with the Johns Hopkins team, you can schedule a time directly on their team’s calendar here.
