DRAMatic Speedup: Accelerating HE Operations on a Processing-In-Memory System

Homomorphic encryption HE is a promising technology for confidential cloud computing, as it allows computations on encrypted data. However, HE is computationally expensive and often memory-bound on conventional computer architectures. Processing-in-Memory PIM is an alternative hardware architectu...

Researchers Demonstrate New Side-Channel Attack on Homomorphic Encryption

A group of academics from the North Carolina State University and Dokuz Eylul University have demonstrated what they say is the "first side-channel attack" on homomorphic encryption that could be exploited to leak data as the encryption process is underway. "Basically, by monitoring power...
