CIS Seminar: “Designing Hardware for Cryptography and Cryptography for Hardware”

October 27, 2022 at 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM

 There have been few high-impact deployments of hardware implementations of cryptographic 
primitives. We present the benefits and challenges of hardware acceleration of sophisticated 
cryptographic primitives and protocols, and describe our recent design work in accelerating 
Fully Homomorphic Encryption by three to four orders of magnitude using programmable hardware 
accelerators. We argue the significant potential for synergistic codesign of cryptography and 
hardware, where customized hardware accelerates cryptographic protocols that are designed with 
hardware acceleration in mind.

Joint work with Daniel Sanchez's group at MIT.
