Scalable Confidential Computing Solution
FY 2019-20 · 2019-12-02
Summary
FHE is considered the holy grail of cryptography that allows for computing directly on encrypted data. The purpose of this project is to upgrade the architecture of our solution into microservices architecture to allow for a robust and scalable Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) platform that can scale to variable real-life traffic/transaction requirements. This includes database partitioning, workload splitting, load balancing, microservices, and others. It will also include researching ways to provide seamless continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) to different parts of the overall solution in order to include any new improvements in the code base.

Description
FHE is considered the holy grail of cryptography that allows for computing directly on encrypted data. The purpose of this project is to upgrade the architecture of our solution into microservices architecture to allow for a robust and scalable Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) platform that can scale to variable real-life traffic/transaction requirements.

Description (French)
Le FHE est considéré comme le Saint-Graal de la cryptographie qui permet de calculer directement sur des données chiffrées. L'objectif de ce projet est de faire évoluer la structure de notre solution vers une structure de micro-services afin de disposer d'une plateforme de chiffrement entièrement homomorphe (FHE) robuste et évolutive, capable de s'adapter aux exigences variables du trafic/des transactions en temps réel. Ce processus comprend le compartimentage de la base de données, la répartition de la charge de travail, l'équilibrage de la charge, les micro-services et autres. Il s'agira également de rechercher des moyens de fournir une intégration continue (IC) et un déploiement continu (DC) sans faille aux différentes parties de la solution globale afin d'inclure toute nouvelle amélioration dans la base de code.
