Revolutionizing Data Privacy: How TFHE and FHE Libraries are Transforming Encrypted Data Processing
May 18, 2024
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) allows computations on encrypted data without decryption, enhancing data privacy.
Widespread adoption of FHE hinges on user-friendly development tools.
TFHE is a leading FHE scheme that enables programmable bootstrapping for fast processing.
TFHE programs use networks of neurons to perform operations like linear combinations and table lookups, optimized by cryptographic parameters.
Combining TFHE networks with plain logic allows for homomorphic applications, and a dedicated language or MLIR dialect can simplify TFHE program representation.
Releasing an FHE library provides developers access to homomorphic functions for encrypted data processing, streamlining development.
Integration of FHE into programming languages through libraries and compilers addresses challenges like conditional branching and control flow.
FHE can be used in confidential smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine and for building an FHE API with TFHE.
Developing TFHE networks for functions, normalizing encrypted data types, and ensuring composability are essential.
Limitations of FHE libraries in applications like machine learning have led to the development of a homomorphic compiler for tasks such as confidential inference with deep neural networks.
Converting a neural network into a homomorphic equivalent for encrypted inference requires a trained quantized model and optimization of cryptographic parameters.
TFHE compilers like Concrete offer efficient parameter optimizers for cryptographic parametrization, noise formulas, and cost metrics optimization.
The process involves scientific analysis, experimental validation, and optimization to achieve optimal performance in encrypted inference and custom data processing.
