Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is crucial for post-quantum privacy-preserving computing. Researchers have proposed various FHE schemes that excel at different encrypted computations, such as single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) arithmetic or arbitrary single-data functions. This talk will introduce a unified FHE accelerator (UFC) that provides better performance and cost-efficiency than prior scheme-specific accelerators via a series of algorithm, software, and hardware co-designs.
