DuoKey Introduces Privacy-Preserving and Confidential AI Using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)
Lausanne, Switzerland, 11 February 2025 — DuoKey, a cloud security company specialised in encryption and key management, today announced its confidential AI and privacy-preserving machine learning solution that enables organisations to leverage AI, without compromising on data privacy.
AI adoption has experienced a pretty important spikes last year. McKinsey & Company found that adoption reached 72 percent in 2024 among its surveyed companies. However, organisations increasingly rely on cloud-based AI systems, which typically requires sharing unencrypted data with third-party providers. This exposure creates significant privacy risks, potential regulatory compliance issues, and limits the adoption of AI in highly regulated industries where data protection is required.
Using Fully Homographic Encryption (FHE), DuoKey’s confidential AI allows organisations to process machine learning workloads while data remains fully encrypted at processing time. This capability addresses key AI adoption challenges and bottlenecks in sectors handling sensitive and personal information, such as healthcare, financial services and public safety.
“Our solution helps organisations leverage AI and machine learning while maintaining strict data privacy” said Nagib Aouini, CEO of DuoKey. “This allows business to adopt AI system, while protecting data and comply with data privacy regulations”.
The solution incorporates GPU-accelerated FHE processing with NVIDIA, distributed key management, secure model training and deployment and cross-collaboration capabilities. It enables seamless integration of privacy-preserving AI into existing workflows.
The technology, which expands the company’s advanced encryption key management and PKI offering, supports important use cases across industries. Healthcare institutions can collaborate on diagnosis and treatment data while maintaining patient privacy. Law enforcement agencies can implement facial recognition and license plate analysis systems while protecting citizens’ privacy rights.
DuoKey’s solution helps organisations meet regulatory requirements, like GDPR, HIPAA and others, when leveraging AI capabilities, addressing the balance between data utility and privacy.
