Zama Joins the League of Entropy to Advance Fully Homomorphic Encryption
Zama is excited to announce its membership in the League of Entropy, a global consortium dedicated to delivering decentralized, secure, and verifiable randomness. The League, powered by the drand protocol, offers a distributed randomness beacon developed and maintained by Randamu. drand provides cryptographically secure, tamper-proof random values that are crucial for a variety of cryptographic applications, including fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), blockchain, and decentralized applications.
Challenges
By joining the League of Entropy, Zama overcame several challenges integrating their infrastructure:
- Decentralized Randomness Access: Needed to access reliable, secure randomness from the distributed network to support the company's vision of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) everywhere.
- Alignment with Standards: Ensuring drand’s protocol aligns with Zama's stringent cryptographic requirements for homomorphic encryption.
- Collaboration and Integration: Establishing seamless integration between Zama's infrastructure and the League's globally distributed randomness beacon.
Results
After joining the League of Entropy and incorporating the drand protocol, Zama achieved significant results:
- Enhanced Cryptographic Security: Leveraging drand’s distributed randomness improved the security of Zama’s cryptographic operations, particularly in FHE.
- Decentralized Trust Network: Participation in the League fortified Zama’s cryptographic trust model through globally distributed, decentralized randomness.
- Collaborative Innovation: Collaboration with other League members allowed Zama to stay at the forefront of cryptographic research and technological advancements.
Summary
Zama’s membership in the League of Entropy enables them to build secure, verifiable randomness directly into their fully homomorphic encryption infrastructure, aligning with their vision of making FHE ubiquitous. Drand's protocol, offering decentralized, cryptographically secure randomness, strengthens Zama's cryptographic security while also providing them access to a global network of partners and research opportunities. Together, they are poised to deliver world-class cryptographic solutions for data security and privacy.
