Solving the "Data Pod Access Loophole" using FHE and Concrete ML

Hi Zama team,
I’m a student interested in data privacy and I’m running a thought-experiment around a decentralized identity system with data pods (inspired by Solid Project). The real-world constraint I’m hitting is that it requires good faith from the receiver. Once data-pod access is given, nothing prevents the data from being copied and stored.

I would love to ask a Zama engineer a few quick questions:

  1. Realistic compute and latency issues with NLP vector embedding through Concrete ML.
  2. How Zama looks at hybrid architecture between local device decryption and cloud FHE processing.

I know you’re very busy, but any guidance, links, or feedback will be incredibly valuable for my studies! Thank you!

Kind regards,
