MXE Encryption

Encryption of data in the Arcium Network is handled at the MXE level. When creating an MXE, a Computation Customer always defines an accompanying encryption scheme. However, in the case that encryption is entirely unnecessary for a given MXE's use case, the encryption scheme can be set to none. Otherwise, an MXE's encryption scheme is defined as an encryption key used to encrypt the data within the MXE's computations. Encryption schemes can also be shared between multiple different MXEs belonging to the same Computation Customer, resulting in minor cost savings due to not requiring the creation of multiple encryption schemes.
