Intel, Microsoft join DARPA effort to accelerate fully homomorphic encryption

The partnership aims to improve performance and accuracy of FHE to make it practical for business and government to better protect confidential data in the cloud.

Intel has partnered with Microsoft as part of a US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program that aims to develop hardware and software to drastically improve the performance of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) computation. As part of the program, Intel will develop a hardware accelerator that could make machine learning practical with always-encrypted and privacy-preserving data. Read More
