-FHE allows computation to be performed on
-encrypted data without having to decrypt the data which brings in
-profound and beneficial implications for data privacy and data confidentiality.
-However, these benefits come with a significant performance cost which has so far

+The Encrypted Computing SDK introduces a multistage transformation

+different hardware architectures as well as to develop new implementations
