| **Encrypted Computation** | Operations fully on encrypted data, with no intermediate decryptions. | EE models run directly on encrypted tokens, with no intermediate decryptions. |
| **User-Controlled Encryption** | Users should hold keys and control encryption/decryption. | Only the user can map plaintext to transformed tokens using EE tokenizer. |
| **Preservation of Accuracy** | The decrypted output should match the result of plaintext inference. | EE ensures final results are identical to plaintext inference outputs. |

| **No Approximation of Functions** | HE may require approximations of complex operations. | EE avoids approximations, preserving exact neural network functions. |
| **Scalability to Large Models** | Handling large models under HE is impractical. | EE scales naturally with large models without any computational penalties. |
| **Compatibility with Existing Pipelines** | HE often requires extensive pipeline modifications. | EE requires a one-time transformation, after which pipelines operate as normal. |
| **Clear Security Model & Robustness** | HE has strong theoretical foundations. | EE provides a massively complex and secure combinatorial search space. |
