Hey everyone, I have been digging into vector databases, ANN search, and privacy preserving techniques (specifically PHE), and I have hit a design roadblock that I would love some input on. The problem: Using a vector DB with ANN (HNSW, IVF, etc.) is great for fast similarity search at scale. But if we
