Title:
Improving Performance of Fully Homomorphic Encryption via Pipelining and Parallelism Enhancements
Agreement Number:
923691
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
Dec 31, 2018 - Jun 28, 2019
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. 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.
