LLMFeed Extension โ Homomorphic Encryption
๐ก๏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:
โ
without breaking signature integrity
โ
without exposing raw data
โ
while enabling pipeline processing across agents (healthcare, finance, legal, administration...).
๐ฏ 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.
๐ ๏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."
}
๐ 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 |
๐ฆ Agent Behaviour
Agents MAY:
โ
Recognize the presence of homomorphic_encryption
.
โ
Adjust their reasoning capabilities accordingly.
โ
Skip actions requiring access to raw data unless decryption is possible.
โ
Indicate in UI that data is homomorphically protected.
โ
Preserve the integrity of signed blocks while processing encrypted fields.
โ ๏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.
๐ก Summary
Homomorphic encryption can turn signed .llmfeed.json
feeds into trusted capsules for multi-agent workflows:
โ
Data remains encrypted โ privacy preserved
โ
Signatures remain valid โ trust preserved
โ
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
