Duality Technologies Awarded $14.5M DARPA Contract to Develop World's Fastest Privacy-Preserving Hardware Accelerator
Duality Technologies, a leading provider of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) based on Homomorphic Encryption (HE), today announced it has been awarded a $14.5M contract from the DPRIVE program. Under the contract with DARPA, Duality will lead a team developing a novel ASIC (Application-specific Integrated Circuit) - code named 'TREBUCHET' - to accelerate computations using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), with the goal of making FHE cost-effective for even the most challenging high-value applications. FHE is an advanced cryptographic technique, widely considered the 'holy grail of...
