Google this week announced that it has released open source tools and libraries that can be used by developers to implement fully homomorphic encryption.

FHE enables the processing of encrypted data without providing access to the actual data.

One year ago, IBM also released an open source FHE toolkit.

Google has released the source code of an FHE transpiler for C++ developers.

Guevara added, "The transpiler will transform that code into a version that can run on encrypted data. This then allows developers to create new programming applications that don't need unencrypted data. FHE can also be used to train machine learning models on sensitive data in a private manner."

"With Google's transpiler for FHE, you can encrypt the data you collect and share it with medical experts who, in turn, can analyze the data without decrypting it - providing helpful information to the medical community, all while ensuring that no one can access the data's underlying information."
