Annual review of advances of full homomorphic encryption technology
In the era of big data and artificial intelligence,homomorphic encryption methods are widely recognized as an ideal technology to solve data security and privacy leakage problems.However,there are currently issues such as poor computational efficiency and ciphertext inflation,which seriously affect application and promotion of this technology.On the basis of summarizing the current research status,this paper reviews and analyzes the relevant research progress in 2023 from two aspects:hardware acceleration for homomorphic encryption algorithms and optimization of homomorphic encryption algorithms.Significant acceleration effects are attributed to the dedicated integrated circuit technology route;substantial progress has been made in optimization from the algorithm perspective.It can be predicted that in the next few years homomorphic encryption will be combined with artificial intelligence to deliver more value in cross-industry and industry division data collaboration and utilization.
