Homomorphic encryption, a ‘privacy-preserving’ technique, allows computation directly on the encrypted data. However, this encryption technique faces significant performance and programmability challenges. Researchers from Facebook, New York University, and Stanford University have created a synthesising compiler caller Porcupine to unleash the true potential of homomorphic encryption technique. This compiler can translate plain text to encrypted…
