They'll try to speed up compute times in the field of fully homomorphic encryption.

Matejmo / Getty Images 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. If successful, the multi-year effort could allow organizations from industries with strict data confidentiality requirements, such as healthcare, finance, bank...

It's a fascinating technology advancement that will hopefully reduce cybersecurity threats and breaches in the future.

  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...

Duality scores $14M DARPA contract for hardware-accelerated homomorphic encryption Training AIs is essential to today’s tech sector, but handling the amount of data needed to do so is intrinsically dangerous. DARPA hopes to change that by tapping the encryption experts at Duality to create a hardware-accelerated method of using large quantities of data without decrypting it — a $14.5 million contract. Duality specializes in what’s called fully homomorphic encryption. Without descending into the technical details, the main issue with everyday encryption methods — though it’s also sor...
