Vector Holdings, Inc. has begun a proof-of-concept (PoC) for fully homomorphic encryption technology , which combines data privacy protection with advanced data utilization. This demonstration will use the FracTLcore® platform developed by Cornami, Inc. to verify the operational suitability of FHE workloads from the perspective of whether encrypted data can be processed with practical performance. A testing environment will be built in a data center operated by Equinix Japan, Inc., and comparative evaluation will be conducted using the NVIDIA H100 as a benchmark to verify the applicability of the platform.
In areas that handle highly confidential data, such as healthcare, finance, and the public sector, balancing the need to “securely protect data (confidentiality)” with “utilizing data (analysis)” has become a challenge. FHE is garnering attention as a technology that enables “zero trust” data processing, eliminating the need to trust external environments, as it can perform calculations on encrypted data without decrypting it. However, the extremely high computational load makes it difficult to apply to practical operations. Vector HD has positioned the practical use of FHE as an important theme, and has focused on Cornami’s FracTLcore® platform, which has the potential to solve the computational load issue, and has begun verification testing with the aim of commercializing it.

Furthermore, because it is important to conduct the above evaluations in a data center environment with a stable power supply and high operational reliability, the verification environment will be built in a state-of-the-art data center operated by Equinix, which is equipped with a power, cooling, and network environment designed for AI and HPC applications. A comprehensive evaluation will be conducted, including installation, operability, and scalability, assuming actual operation.
