APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH HOMOMORPHIC ENCRYPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18396380 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH HOMOMORPHIC ENCRYPTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus that uses homomorphic encryption to process data in parallel, enhancing efficiency and security.

Key Features and Innovation

  • The apparatus stores an operation key and ciphertext in memories.
  • A controller schedules homomorphic encryption operations based on the ciphertext and modulus.
  • Multiple operation devices process parts of the encryption operation in parallel.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in secure data processing, cloud computing, and privacy-preserving machine learning algorithms.

Problems Solved

  • Enhances data security by using homomorphic encryption.
  • Improves processing efficiency by parallelizing encryption operations.

Benefits

  • Increased security for sensitive data.
  • Faster data processing through parallel computation.

Commercial Applications

  • Secure data processing services for businesses.
  • Enhanced privacy protection for cloud computing applications.

Questions about Homomorphic Encryption

How does homomorphic encryption improve data security?

Homomorphic encryption allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it, thus protecting sensitive information during processing.

What are the potential drawbacks of using homomorphic encryption?

Homomorphic encryption can be computationally intensive and may introduce latency in data processing.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus includes: one or more memories configured to store an operation key comprising a re-linearization key and ciphertext comprising a plurality of modules; a controller configured to schedule a homomorphic encryption operation based on the ciphertext, based on at least one of the plurality of modules and a modulus of the ciphertext; and a plurality of operation devices configured to parallelly process respective parts of the homomorphic encryption operation according to a result of the scheduling.
