What’s New?

• CryptoLab unveiled its 4.5‑generation CKKS homomorphic‑encryption‑based search solution at RSAC 2025. This technology enables data to remain encrypted during search operations—significantly reducing the risk of data leaks during decryption.
  

• A major achievement of this 4.5‑gen update is dramatically improved performance: it can now process search queries in real time—even on mobile devices—while preserving robust security.
  

Flagship Product – ES2 (Encrypted Similarity Search):

• ES2 supports vector-based and keyword-based encrypted searches, including face recognition, image similarity matching, and text matching—all without requiring data decryption.
  

• Demonstrations at RSAC 2025 showcased its capability to handle such operations while maintaining encrypted data integrity.
  

Academic & Industry Endorsement:

• The technology was presented at Eurocrypt 2025 in Madrid (May 4), with peer-reviewed papers:
  

• “SHIP: A Shallow and Highly Parallelizable CKKS Bootstrapping Algorithm”
  

• “Ciphertext‑Ciphertext Matrix Multiplication: Fast for Large Matrices”
  

• These publications validate the system’s structural and performance innovations.
  

Why It Matters:

• Traditional encryption requires decryption to search, creating risks during decrypted states. Homomorphic encryption solves this—yet had latency issues. CryptoLab’s 4.5‑generation approach addresses that, enabling secure and practical encrypted data processing in real time, even on mobile. This is especially critical for sensitive data like biometrics, personal, internal, and confidential information, particularly in the AI era.
  

• In light of recent major domestic data leaks from telecommunication providers, such encrypted computation systems offer viable alternatives beyond perimeter-based security, particularly in zero‑trust security frameworks .
  

Company Perspective:

• A CryptoLab spokesperson stated that this marks a pivotal moment for transitioning to encryption‑centric security models. Recognizing that breaches are inevitable, they emphasized the need to safeguard data even in active use, not just in storage.

In summary:
CryptoLab’s ES2 platform leverages advanced homomorphic encryption to enable real‑time, encrypted search and matching operations across images, text, and biometrics—without ever decrypting data. Backed by strong academic validation and showcased at RSAC 2025, it represents a major leap toward practical, zero‑trust cryptography for sensitive information in the mobile AI era.
