Mirror Security Announces Strategic Collaboration with SiSys AI, Inc. to Develop Next-Generation Fully Homomorphic Encryption Co-Processor

Mirror Security, a leading provider of privacy-preserving computation solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration with industry leaders to develop and commercialize the MIRROR (Modular Infrastructure for Real-time Reasoning Over Encrypted Data) co-processor. Building on Mirror Security’s VectaX proven Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology that enables AI systems to process your data while keeping it completely encrypted – optimized for AI workloads for latency, memory, and processing needs. Mirror VectaX already delivers industry-leading performance for homomorphic encryption; this partnership will unlock significant acceleration through purpose-built silicon.

“This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the evolution of privacy-preserving technology,” said George Apostol, co-founder, chairman & CEO of SiSys AI. “With over 35 years in the semiconductor industry, I’ve witnessed many technological breakthroughs, but the MIRROR architecture is uniquely optimized for FHE operations. Mirror Security has already pushed the boundaries of what’s possible with its software. Now, by bringing that innovation to specialized silicon, we’re not just improving performance - we’re fundamentally expanding which applications can leverage encrypted computation, unlocking new use cases that even the best software solutions cannot achieve alone.”

While Mirror VectaX has made homomorphic encryption practical for many applications, the MIRROR co-processor opens up encrypted inferencing viable at industry scale, addressing data exposure issues with LLM and Inference providers.

“VectaX has proven fully homomorphic encryption can be practical and performant, with compatibility with all vector databases, AI coding assistants, and technology partnerships with MongoDB, QDrant, and Intel,” said Dr. Aditya Narayana K, Co-Founder at Mirror Security. “The growing adoption of VectaX across industries has revealed the immense potential for privacy-preserving computation. However, the most transformative applications - processing massive datasets, enabling real-time analytics, and deploying at hyperscale- require performance beyond what software alone can deliver. This collaboration with industry leaders directly addresses these opportunities. By combining our algorithmic innovations with purpose-built hardware, we’re creating a solution that transcends software limitations. This isn’t just about acceleration - it’s about enabling entirely new categories of privacy-preserving applications.”

“What excites me most about this collaboration is how it will validate and extend Mirror Security & SiSys AI vision,” added Apostol. “They’ve already demonstrated that homomorphic encryption can be practical with VectaX SDK. Now we’re taking that proven technology and giving it the hardware foundation, enabling next-level functionality. This combination of software expertise and silicon innovation is exactly what the industry needs to make privacy-preserving computation ubiquitous.”

The MIRROR architecture is specifically designed to address:

• Streaming architectures for operations that dominate real-world AI workloads

• Specialized units for the cryptographic primitives used by the VectaX

• Memory hierarchies designed around actual access patterns

• Scalable design supporting everything from edge devices to data centers

“VectaX has proven what’s possible with encrypted computation,” noted Dr. Narayana. “Now with hardware acceleration, we will enable our users to realize their most ambitious privacy-preserving applications.”

The partnership leverages Mirror Security’s deep understanding of homomorphic encryption workloads and decades of semiconductor expertise from industry veterans to create a solution that seamlessly extends the existing SDK ecosystem. Current SDK users will be able to leverage the hardware acceleration with minimal code changes, while new users will benefit from a complete stack optimized from algorithms to silicon.
