Summary
FlowCrypt is a new method for encrypting photos on phones and cloud storage that protects privacy by using flow-based neural networks (a type of AI model that can reverse its operations). Unlike older encryption systems, FlowCrypt can recover the original photo nearly perfectly after decryption, uses no extra reference images, and is lightweight enough to run on mobile devices while maintaining strong security.
