Master projects/internships - Leuven | More than two weeks ago
This development activity is intended to identify the suitability and bottlenecks in the traditional high-level implementation approach for the hardware-based execution of FHE.
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is an advanced cryptographic paradigm for computing over encrypted data without trivial decryption, allowing the processing of sensitive data on outsourced platforms in a confidential manner. The goal of this work is to develop a robust FPGA-based deployment platform for state-of-the-art FHE algorithms using high-level synthesis.
The objective of this internship would be:
This development activity is intended to identify the suitability and bottlenecks in the traditional high-level implementation approach for the hardware-based execution of FHE. The knowledge gained in the process will serve as a critical study for practical FHE hardware designs and establish a baseline for the performance of hardware-based execution.
