hi my name is Ryan and I'm a research engineer at sunscreen where we are developing cryptographic technologies that make it easier for anyone to add data privacy to their applications I will be giving a talk titled building private and secure applications using the sunscreen fully homomorphic encryption compiler and rust the main topic of this talk will be that long term fully homomorphic encryption which is a technology that allows anyone to process encrypted data without first decrypting it for example a user could take some data that they have encrypt it send it up to a cloud have that cloud process their data and then return meaningful results back to the user without the cloud ever learning specifically what was inside that data payload with privacy being a major focus in Tech nowadays fully homomorphic encryption provides a way for users to Take Back Control of data privacy in a way that is resistant to data mining data breaches and malicious actors in this talk we'll be discussing the basics of fully homomorphic encryption why is it difficult to build secure applications even with modern Frameworks and how this type of encryption helps bridge the gap we'll be demonstrating how to use the sunscreen compiler to convert rust programs into their secure variants that operate on encrypted data without decrypting it and finally we will be showing an application of using the sunscreen compiler on encrypted data for machine learning both inference and training in a way that allows users to provide encrypted data to a cloud provider have machine learning inference and training be performed on that and have meaningful results returned back to the user without ever decrypting that data
