Seoul, South Korea – CryptoLab, a cybersecurity company led by CEO Jung Hee Cheon, will unveil its Encrypted Facial Recognition (EFR) solution at the RSA Conference 2025.
According to the announcement, the EFR solution aims to tackle the security concerns of conventional facial recognition systems using homomorphic encryption.
As facial recognition technology advances, concerns about biometric data leakage are rising, putting users at risk of identification and impersonation. CryptoLab’s Encrypted Facial Recognition (EFR) solution addresses this issue by securely storing and matching facial templates in an encrypted format. This ensures that facial data remains encrypted throughout the entire processing workflow, never being decrypted.
The key technology is the 4th-generation FHE algorithm. CKKS is a lattice-based cryptographic scheme that belongs to ML-KEM and ML-DSA, quantum-resistant encryption algorithms selected by NIST (U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology). This positions EFR as a next-generation security solution designed to withstand not only current threats but also those posed by future quantum computing.
Due to GPU acceleration, the system can process within milliseconds and is adaptable throughout the business and CryptoLab’s EFR is under a commercial license.
Who is CryptoLab? The startup was founded in 2017 by Professor Jung Hee Cheon of the Department of Mathematical Science. The company has developed core technology in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), which is secure against quantum computers and fully homomorphic encryption, which enables computation on encrypted data (CKKS).
