This $199,780 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will support the development of new hardware designs for high-precision discrete Gaussian sampling to enable post-quantum cryptographic systems and homomorphic encryption applications. The awardee, North Carolina State University, will first explore novel algorithmic approaches to simplify Gaussian sampling techniques' random search processes and approximation techniques to optimize the search while minimizing statistical deviations. The university will then seek to develop fully automated design solutions to create optimized sampling hardware for given parameters. The resulting solutions will be mapped to reconfigurable hardware and benchmarked against prior proposals. This work aims to advance efficient and provably secure hardware implementations of a critical building block for lattice-based cryptographic systems, with potential benefits for cryptography and privacy in applications.
