You need to explain this in a lot more detail. It sounds essentially impossible to provide this service with zero-knowledge encryption, but I'm open to being wrong about that.
- hgunasekara 3y agoHey smt88, we use a similar approach to Cloak AI which is encrypting vector embeddings. https://ironcorelabs.com/blog/2023/announcing-encrypted-ai-embeddings/ https://ironcorelabs.com/blog/2023/announcing-encrypted-ai-e...
- smt88 3y agoDo you have more detail? Like a lot more? And are you being regularly audited by a third party? Saying "we use a similar approach to Cloak AI" isn't good enough for many reasons. They don't provide a lot of detail to begin with, so it's unclear their approach is proven. And you're not even using their approach, just a similar one. Even if we had a long whitepaper about how you do things, that's still not good enough because we don't know that you're actually doing it. That's why the audit is important.
- hgunasekara 3y agoWe want to emphasize how important privacy is to us. It felt wrong to be able to access a company's private knowledge so we set out to make the system as secure as possible. In terms of our embedded vector DB, we use Homomorphic Encryption to vectorize the embeddings. We are still super early - started hacking on this project 7 weeks ago, in the near future we plan to get SOC 2 compliant so we can definitively prove that we are secure.
