Abstract
Fully Homomorphic Encryption is an encryption paradigm enabling computations on encrypted data without the need for decryption. Such behavior is promising for securing DoD cloud computing but is also computationally demanding. To alleviate some of the computational load and accelerate FHE schemes, this research proposes adding a hardware accelerator, for the Number Theory Transform (NTT) operation, to a RISC-V processor. Thus enhancing FHE capabilities for potentially resource-constrained devices.
