Proton's new AI promises "zero-access encryption" - but LLMs need unencrypted messages to be able to understand them.

(Obligatory self post.) I normally don’t care enough to share my content but thought this post i wrote the other week would be of interest to this community.

Tldr from the conclusion:

  • the messages sent to Lumo need to be able to be temporarily decrypted for Lumo to process them.
  • Lumo’s response is generated as unencrypted text prior to be encrypted and sent back to you.
  • portions of the conversation context (previous messages) get resent with each interaction.

    I swear half their problems are the problem dept being out of their depth.
