Introduction
enVector is a vector search engine that lets you search directly on encrypted data.
By leveraging Homomorphic Encryption (HE), it ensures sensitive information remains confidential during computation. This eliminates the risk of data-in-use exposure, allowing you to build secure AI applications with confidence.
Why enVector?
Traditional systems must decrypt data to process it, creating a critical security gap. enVector closes this gap by fundamentally changing how data is handled.
Mathematically Proven Security: enVector's protection isn't just based on software or hardware configurations; it's rooted in the mathematically proven principles of cryptography. This guarantees data confidentiality at a fundamental level.
Developer-Friendly API: You get the power of Homomorphic Encryption through a high-level, intuitive API. This abstracts away the underlying cryptographic complexity, so you can focus on building your application, not on becoming a cryptography expert.
Eliminate Data-in-Use Exposure: Data remains encrypted at all times on the server—during ingestion, storage, and search. This solves the core data-in-use vulnerability that affects traditional databases.
Unlock Innovation: Securely use sensitive data to build next-generation AI services in regulated industries like finance and healthcare, without the typical compliance and security risks.
How it Works
enVector creates a true Zero-Trust environment for your vector data. The server infrastructure never has access to your plaintext data or queries.
The workflow is simple:
Encrypt on the Client: Your application uses the enVector SDK to encrypt vectors before they are sent to the server.
Search on Encrypted Data: enVector performs similarity search computations directly on the encrypted vectors.
Return Encrypted Results: The server returns encrypted similarity scores, which only your client application can decrypt.
Who is it for?
enVector is for teams that need to build innovative AI services without compromising on security and privacy.
AI Application Developers who want to build features with sensitive data without the security overhead.
Security Engineers who need to guarantee the security of highly sensitive assets like biometric templates.
Enterprise & Operations Architects who must ensure new technologies meet corporate security and operational standards.
Regulated Industry Product Strategists who use demonstrable security to build customer trust and achieve compliance.
