Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables computation on encrypted data with end-to-end confidentiality; however, its practical adoption remains limited by substantial computational costs, including long encryption and decryption times, high memory consumption, and operational latency. Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) complement FHE by enabling correctness verification without revealing sensitive information, although they do not support encrypted computation independently. This study integrates both techniques to enable encrypted computation with verifiably consistent results. A prototype system is implemented in Python using Microsoft SEAL for homomorphic encryption and PySNARK for Zero-Knowledge Proof verification. Experiments are conducted on standard consumer-grade hardware (Intel i5, 8 GB RAM, Ubuntu 22.04) using datasets ranging from 100 MB to 1 GB. The evaluation focuses on encryption and decryption time, homomorphic computation latency, memory usage, and proof generation overhead. Experimental results show that integrating ZKPs introduces a moderate and stable runtime overhead of approximately 15–20%, as analyzed in Section 4, while enabling verification without plaintext disclosure. Ciphertext expansion remains a notable limitation, with observed growth of approximately 30–40× relative to plaintext size, consistent with prior FHE implementations. Despite these overheads, the system demonstrates feasible scalability for datasets up to 1 GB on mid-level hardware. Overall, the results indicate that the integrated FHE+ZKP approach provides a practical balance between confidentiality, verifiability, and performance, supporting its applicability to privacy-preserving scenarios such as secure cloud computation, encrypted data analytics, and confidential data processing under realistic resource constraints.

The concept of science according to Ibn Rushd emphasizes the harmony between religion and philosophy, as well as the importance of using rational thinking methods to achieve the truth. He divides human intellectual abilities into three levels, namely rhetoric, dialectical, and demonstrative, and distinguishes science into theoretical and practical sciences. According to Ibn Rushd, knowledge is obtained through cooperation between the senses, imagination, and intellect, so that the human thought process must run systematically and logically. This research uses the library research method to examine the relevance of Ibn Rushd's thought to Islamic boarding school education in the modern era. The results of the study show that Ibn Rushd's ideas can be the basis for integration between religious science and science, encourage the strengthening of students' critical reasoning, and avoid scientific dichotomy. In addition, the application of his thinking has the potential to improve the quality of learning for Islamic boarding schools to be more contextual, inclusive, and adaptive to the development of science and technology. Thus, the concept of Ibn Rushd's knowledge can strengthen the direction of pesantren education towards a holistic and civilization-oriented education system.
