## Executive Summary

Enveil commercializes homomorphic encryption, cryptography that keeps data encrypted while it is searched, analyzed, or used by AI, and it is one of a small handful of companies selling the technique. Its founder carried the core technology out of the NSA. Where it has sold is federal: a 2025 Defense Innovation Unit space-data contract, a 2024 Army Project Linchpin selection for encrypted machine learning, and a NIAP Common Criteria certification point to national-security buyers procuring through accreditation gates. The commercial market it leads with, cross-silo data sharing and fraud detection for banks, stays thinner: backers reportedly pay for the product, the reviewed record documents no named production case study, and the latest disclosed funding is the April 2022 Series B.
