EmotionX and Space Data signed a memorandum of cooperation in the defense and security field. The partnership combines EmotionX's fully homomorphic encryption technology with Space Data's physical AI, digital twin, and simulation capabilities. The goal is to build a next-generation secure intelligence platform that can analyze and use confidential information without decrypting it.
EmotionX, a startup spun out of Kioxia's advanced research laboratory, will combine its fully homomorphic encryption technology with Space Data's physical AI and digital twin platforms. The two Tokyo-based companies signed a memorandum of cooperation covering defense and security applications.
The core technical claim is that data can be analyzed without ever being decrypted, removing the leak risk that comes with traditional decryption during analysis. EmotionX says its software and dedicated semiconductor development cut a secret computation process from about 150 minutes to about 10 minutes, with a goal of under a few seconds using 3 to 2 nanometer chips. The company's research was accepted into an IEEE journal in 2025.
The memorandum covers joint study of secure data analysis infrastructure, technical verification of applying secret computation to physical AI and simulation, and joint proposals to government agencies and defense-related companies.
