FHE Coprocessor

Definition

An FHE Coprocessor is a specialized hardware or software component designed to accelerate Fully Homomorphic Encryption computations. Fully Homomorphic Encryption permits computations on encrypted data without first decrypting it, maintaining data privacy throughout processing. An FHE coprocessor offloads and speeds up these computationally intensive cryptographic operations, making FHE practical for real-world applications. This technology is crucial for privacy-preserving data analysis and secure cloud computing within decentralized systems.
