Inpher

The company's core technology portfolio included advanced cryptographic methods such as secure Multiparty Computation (MPC), Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and Federated Learning (FL). Inpher's primary product was the XOR Secret Computing Engine, a SaaS platform that enabled data scientists to train machine learning models and derive insights from encrypted data. This addressed critical data privacy and compliance regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. Their SecurAI platform specifically provided privacy and compliance controls for organizations adopting generative AI tools.

Inpher was headquartered in New York, with additional offices in San Francisco and Lausanne, Switzerland. Over its lifetime, the company raised over $25 million from investors including JPMorgan Chase, Swisscom Ventures, Amazon Alexa Fund, and Crosslink Capital. Notable customers included BNY Mellon and CPP Investments. In November 2024, after nearly a decade of operation, Inpher's core technology and team were acquired by Arcium, a decentralized confidential computing network. The acquisition was aimed at accelerating the development of secure computing and privacy-preserving AI by integrating Inpher's advanced MPC solutions into Arcium's platform.
