Definition ∞ Verifiable FHE, or Verifiable Fully Homomorphic Encryption, is a cryptographic scheme that permits computations on encrypted data while also allowing a third party to publicly verify the correctness of these computations without decrypting the data. This capability combines the privacy benefits of FHE with the assurance of computational integrity. It addresses the challenge of trusting outsourced computations in privacy-preserving contexts. The system provides cryptographic proof that the results are accurate.
Context ∞ Verifiable FHE represents a significant advancement for privacy-preserving computations on blockchain networks, enabling confidential smart contracts and secure data analysis. Discussions often concern the high computational cost associated with generating and verifying these proofs, which limits current practical applications. Future research aims to reduce this overhead, making Verifiable FHE a more viable solution for scalable and auditable private transactions within decentralized finance and digital asset management.
