The Krate Platform: Prove Anything, Solve Everything, Disclose Nothing.
EF 2020-21
Résumé
Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SP) and Krate Distributed Information Systems (Krate) are developing the Krate Cloud (KC), a decentralized storage and compute network powered by user devices that will solve the current epidemic of data breaches (DBs). Currently, data is protected but unusable while encrypted, so it must be temporarily decrypted to use it. The KC will solve this vulnerability with a system able to compute encrypted data by combining blockchain and cloud technology with lattice-based encryption-the first cloud with cryptographic privacy. This project will benefit Krate by manifesting its theoretical work and establishing the base network necessary for later project phases, while SP will benefit from knowledge exchange with Krate. Also, it will transform data management and cybersecurity by returning to users full control of their data, and by developing Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), a technique believed to be quantum-proof.
