This $209,368 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) aims to develop trusted, low-overhead tools that enable computation directly on encrypted data. The goal is to accelerate the creation of new capabilities that allow confidential data to be shared with untrusted parties who can extract insights without accessing the unencrypted data. This would increase public trust in modern AI tools and enable data-powered, socially...
This $396,988 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the CFDA 47.070 Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, supports research at Boston University to architect GPU (graphics processing unit) systems optimized for practical homomorphic encryption-based cloud computing. The project will explore acceleration of three different fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) schemes - BGV, B/FV, and CKKS - on GPUs to...

The project aims to advance the state-of-the-art for building secure systems by automatically placing security-critical application components within secure enclaves, reducing the programming challenges. The work includes developing a...
This $600,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research at Northeastern University focused on developing doubly efficient Private Information Retrieval (DEPIR) and fully homomorphic encryption for random-access machines. The key goals of the project are to: 1) achieve practical efficiency for DEPIR and fully homomorphic encryption techniques, 2) explore alternative cryptographic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award for $274,988 to Oblivious Labs Inc. will develop the ENCORE oblivious computation framework to enable privacy-preserving computation on sensitive data. The project aims to create fast, easy-to-use techniques for obfuscating access patterns to private data, which can reveal user intentions in applications like contact discovery and database searches. The team will build on their prior...
This Project Grant award of $599,725 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, awarded on April 1, 2025, supports the development of a system for verifiable fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). The project aims to enhance the scalability and trustworthiness of privacy-preserving technologies by: (1) designing near-zero-cost verifiable algorithms for linear operations in FHE-enabled encrypted computations; (2) integrating an...
This $404,113 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) to The Ohio State University aims to significantly speed up homomorphic encryption (HE) implementations for privacy-preserving cloud computing and machine learning. The research project will pursue scalability improvements by taking into account the specific computations involved in applications and integrating algorithmic reformulations with hardware...
This $174,810 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports research at Northern Arizona University (NAU) to optimize resource-intensive operations in existing fully homomorphic encryption schemes and integrate the optimized algorithm into federated learning frameworks. The project aims to enhance security in Internet of Things communications by enabling secure data analysis on encrypted data...
