LLMFeed Extension โ€” Homomorphic Encryption

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ LLMFeed Extension โ€” Homomorphic Encryption

This is a hypothetical extension exploring how homomorphic encryption could enhance .llmfeed.json feeds as secure capsules for multi-agent processing.

A signed .llmfeed.json is already a verifiable capsule โ€” ensuring the integrity of both payload and context.

Homomorphic encryption would allow agents to manipulate certain encrypted fields within that capsule:

โœ… without breaking signature integrity
โœ… without exposing raw data
โœ… while enabling pipeline processing across agents (healthcare, finance, legal, administration...).


๐ŸŽฏ Purpose

  • Treat .llmfeed.json feeds as secure processing capsules.
  • Enable privacy-preserving pipelines between agents.
  • Allow computation on encrypted data without breaking trust boundaries.
  • Maintain the integrity of signed feeds even as agents process the encrypted parts.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Example

"homomorphic_encryption": {
  "applied_to": ["data"],
  "algorithm": "BFV",
  "public_parameters": "https://example.com/params.json",
  "notes": "Data is homomorphically encrypted to allow LLM-safe processing without exposing raw data."
}

๐Ÿ“š Fields

Field Purpose
applied_to List of blocks the encryption applies to (e.g., ["data"])
algorithm Encryption algorithm (e.g., BFV, CKKS, Paillier, etc.)
public_parameters URL to fetch encryption parameters needed for processing
notes Optional human-readable notes

๐Ÿšฆ Agent Behaviour

Agents MAY:

โœ… Recognize the presence of homomorphic_encryption.
โœ… Adjust their reasoning capabilities accordingly.
โœ… Skip actions requiring access to raw data unless decryption is possible.
โœ… Indicate in UI that data is homomorphically protected.
โœ… Preserve the integrity of signed blocks while processing encrypted fields.


โš ๏ธ Limitations

  • Not yet a formal part of the LLMFeed standard.
  • Dependent on agent capabilities and cryptographic libraries.
  • Intended as a forward-looking, experimental extension.

๐Ÿ“ก Summary

Homomorphic encryption can turn signed .llmfeed.json feeds into trusted capsules for multi-agent workflows:

โœ… Data remains encrypted โ†’ privacy preserved
โœ… Signatures remain valid โ†’ trust preserved
โœ… Processing is enabled โ†’ agents can compute on encrypted fields

This approach could enable privacy-preserving agent pipelines in sensitive domains:

  • Healthcare
  • Finance
  • Administration
  • Legal processes
