Implementing Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) in Flutter Apps
Data privacy is a joke. That’s the bitter truth most developers don’t want to admit.
Users assume their sensitive data is safe behind layers of encryption, but in reality? The moment it’s processed, decrypted, and sitting in memory, it’s vulnerable.
Attackers don’t break encryption; they sidestep it — grabbing data while it’s exposed.
That’s where Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) changes the game, and if you’re building a Flutter app that handles sensitive information, this is one rabbit hole you need to dive into.
Why FHE Matters in Flutter Apps?
Flutter isn’t just for building fancy UIs anymore. Developers are crafting fintech solutions, medical apps, and AI-driven platforms, all of which demand bulletproof security.
Traditional encryption keeps data safe at rest (on disk) and in transit (over the network), but the moment it needs processing? Wide open.
FHE lets you process encrypted data without decrypting it. That means even your own backend never sees the raw data.
Imagine running calculations, predictions, or verifications without ever exposing user information.
