Improving Performance of Fully Homomorphic Encryption via Pipelining and Parallelism Enhancements
FY 2018-19 · 2018-12-31
Summary
This purpose of this project is to improve the performance of the Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology and its applications through different pipelining and parallelism enhancements. FHE is considered the holy grail of cryptography that allows for computing directly on encrypted data. The challenge that everyone is currently facing with FHE is that it comes with a significant computational overhead. To try making this technology practical for a wider range of applications and use cases, we are investigating different ways to improve its performance.

Description
This purpose of this project is to improve the performance of the Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology and its applications through different pipelining and parallelism enhancements. FHE is considered the holy grail of cryptography that allows for computing directly on encrypted data.

Description (French)
Le but de ce projet est d'améliorer les performances de la technologie de cryptage entièrement homomorphe « Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) » et de ses applications grâce à différentes améliorations du parallélisme et du pipeline. FHE est considéré comme le Saint Graal de la cryptographie, qui permet de calculer directement sur des données cryptées. Le défi auquel tout le monde est actuellement confronté avec FHE, c'est qu'il s'accompagne d'un important surcoût de calcul. Pour essayer de rendre cette technologie pratique pour un plus large éventail d'applications et de cas d'utilisation, nous étudions différents moyens d'améliorer ses performances.
