Trusted Execution vs Homomorphic Encryption
Developers should learn and use Trusted Execution when building applications that handle sensitive data, require secure multi-party computation, or operate in untrusted environments like public clouds meets developers should learn homomorphic encryption when building applications that require privacy-preserving data analysis, such as in healthcare, finance, or machine learning on sensitive datasets. Here's our take.
Trusted Execution
Developers should learn and use Trusted Execution when building applications that handle sensitive data, require secure multi-party computation, or operate in untrusted environments like public clouds
Trusted Execution
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Trusted Execution when building applications that handle sensitive data, require secure multi-party computation, or operate in untrusted environments like public clouds
Pros
- +Specific use cases include securing financial transactions, protecting healthcare records, enabling confidential computing in cloud services, and safeguarding intellectual property in IoT devices
- +Related to: confidential-computing, hardware-security-module
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Homomorphic Encryption
Developers should learn homomorphic encryption when building applications that require privacy-preserving data analysis, such as in healthcare, finance, or machine learning on sensitive datasets
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for scenarios where data must be processed by third-party services (e
- +Related to: cryptography, data-privacy
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Trusted Execution if: You want specific use cases include securing financial transactions, protecting healthcare records, enabling confidential computing in cloud services, and safeguarding intellectual property in iot devices and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Homomorphic Encryption if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for scenarios where data must be processed by third-party services (e over what Trusted Execution offers.
