This $240,062 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070), aims to develop efficient and scalable hardware architectures for privacy-preserving neural network inference based on ciphertext-ciphertext fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). The research will focus on designing optimized hardware building blocks, such as polynomial multipliers, and a reconfigurable FHE architecture that leverages a scheme switching approach to accelerate neural network computations while protecting the privacy of both user data and model parameters. The project, led by Tufts University, seeks to significantly improve the hardware efficiency of ciphertext-ciphertext FHE-based neural network inference, enabling more robust privacy protections for cloud computing and AI-driven applications. The award period is from January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026.
