# Fully Homomorphic Encryption Our research team is actively developing an upgrade path to FHE. * **Current Tech (TEE):** Data is decrypted inside the secure hardware to be processed. * **Future Tech (FHE):** Data is processed while still encrypted. *Example: The EVM adds Encrypted(5) + Encrypted(5) and gets Encrypted(10) without ever knowing what the numbers were.* *Impact: This eliminates the hardware trust assumption entirely, making FOGEVM the most secure computational layer in existence.* --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.fogevm.vip/core-technology/fully-homomorphic-encryption.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
