About Tensorcrypt

Sharing data with key partners has never been more important for data-driven organisations. Yet, achieving this securely and efficiently remains a significant barrier.

Traditional solutions often have the risk of exposing sensitive data in the processing chain when used, stored or sent, which can result in breaches whether internally or via a third-party. This can lead to high-profile incidents for companies, putting sensitive information at risk.

Tensorcrypt uses groundbreaking confidential computing, a CPU-level security technology, to mitigate in-transit, at-rest, and in-use information exposure risks. It enables data scientists, analysts and engineers, to share and analyse data without it being exposed, while offering trackable data interactions.

Data is shared and analysed on-prem using hardened execution environments that resist software attacks, including malware, to unlock value in sensitive data and open
new data-driven business opportunities. Tensorcrypt is designed for high-throughput and low-latency, offering users simple API-level access.

The Tensorcrypt team

The team from Royal Holloway University is led by: 

• Dr. Carlton Shepherd (Lead), Expert in Confidential Computing, Senior Research Fellow, Information Security Group, Royal Holloway, University of London. Formerly: Samsung, Atom Bank, OneSpan
• Prof. Konstantinos Markantonakis, Expert in Secure Execution Platforms Professor of Information Security, Information Security Group, Royal Holloway, University of London 20+ years in academia and industry
• Ms. Fay Kassibawi, Knowledge Exchange Manager, Research and Innovation, Royal Holloway, University of London. Proven commercialisation experience.
