ePrint Report: Aloha-HE: A Low-Area Hardware Accelerator for Client-Side Operations in Homomorphic Encryption

Florian Krieger, Florian Hirner, Ahmet Can Mert, Sujoy Sinha Roy

Homomorphic encryption (HE) has gained broad attention in recent years as it allows computations on encrypted data enabling secure cloud computing. Deploying HE presents a notable challenge since it introduces a performance overhead by orders of magnitude. Hence, most works target accelerating server-side operations on hardware platforms, while little attention has been given to client-side operations. In …
