Leveraging Photonic Interconnects for Scalable and Efficient Fully Homomorphic Encryption

Fully Homomorphic Encryption FHE facilitates secure computations on encrypted data but imposes significant demands on memory bandwidth and computational power. While current FHE accelerators focus on optimizing computation, they often face bandwidth limitations that result in performance...

HE-LRM: Encrypted Deep Learning Recommendation Models Using Fully Homomorphic Encryption

Fully Homomorphic Encryption FHE is an encryption scheme that not only encrypts data but also allows for computations to be applied directly on the encrypted data. While computationally expensive, FHE can enable privacy-preserving neural inference in the client-server setting: a client encrypts...

Versatile and Fast Location-Based Private Information Retrieval with Fully Homomorphic Encryption over the Torus

Location-based services often require users to share sensitive locational data, raising privacy concerns due to potential misuse or exploitation by untrusted servers. In response, we present VeLoPIR, a versatile location-based private information retrieval PIR system designed to preserve user...

CipherMind: the Longest Codebook in the World

In recent years, the widespread application of large language models has inspired us to consider using inference for communication encryption. We therefore propose CipherMind, which utilizes intermediate results from deterministic fine-tuning of large model inferences as transmission content. The...

Toward a Lightweight, Scalable, and Parallel Secure Encryption Engine

The exponential growth of Internet of Things IoT applications has intensified the demand for efficient, high-throughput, and energy-efficient data processing at the edge. Conventional CPU-centric encryption methods suffer from performance bottlenecks and excessive data movement, especially in...

Fair Data Exchange with Constant-Time Proofs

The Fair Data Exchange FDE protocol introduced at CCS 2024 offers atomic pay-per-file transfers with constant-size proofs, but its prover and verifier runtimes still scale linearly with the file length n. We collapse these costs to essentially constant by viewing the file as a rate-1 Reed-Solomon...

Anonymous Authentication using Attribute-based Encryption

In today's digital age, personal data is constantly at risk of compromise. Attribute-Based Encryption ABE has emerged as a promising approach to privacy-preserving data protection. This paper proposes an anonymous authentication mechanism based on ABE, which allows users to authenticate without...

A Dual-Layer Image Encryption Framework Using Chaotic AES with Dynamic S-Boxes and Steganographic QR Codes

This paper presents a robust image encryption and key distribution framework that integrates an enhanced AES-128 algorithm with chaos theory and advanced steganographic techniques for dual-layer security. The encryption engine features a dynamic ShiftRows operation controlled by a logistic map,...
