# Homomorphic Encryption

Zodor implements two complementary encryption stacks:

**Paillier Cryptosystem (Backend / Partial Homomorphic)**

The backend uses **Paillier** to compute on encrypted balances without decryption. Useful for:

* **Private balance queries** investor balances can be aggregated for reporting without exposing individual holdings
* **Encrypted dividend computation** payouts computed against ciphertexts
* **Confidential RWA swaps** swap quotes generated against encrypted positions

> "Homomorphic Encryption is a revolutionary cryptographic method that allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it."

**Zama fhEVM (On-Chain / Fully Homomorphic)**

For institutional-grade on-chain confidentiality, Zodor ships:

* **`ConfidentialZEROC`** FHE-shielded wrapper around `ZEROC` requiring `KYC_GLOBAL + ESG_VERIFIED`. Carbon trading desks can hold encrypted balances directly on-chain.
* **`ConfidentialSecurityToken`**  generic FHE security token used by `ZIST` tranches and large `ZCET` deals.

Encrypted balances + encrypted transfer amounts + encrypted aggregate accounting fhEVM lets the chain compute on ciphertexts that even validators cannot read.

**Path C - EOA-Direct + Reserve Oracle**

Token uses a third privacy mode tuned for futures-style instruments:

* `balanceOf` is gated to `msg.sender` (and authorised agents)
* `Transfer` events emit `amount = 0`
* `ZodorProofRegistry` anchors off-chain reserve proofs (IPFS + treasury attestations)
* `ZodorReserveOracle_ZCFT` attests live supply against the USDT/USDC inventory in the treasury at `0xe1C7…639F`

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://whitepaper.zodor.io/system-architecture/overview-of-the-protocol/homomorphic-encryption.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
