New Developments in HEIR Homomorphic Encryption Joint

Homomorphic encryption is a cryptographic technique that provides direct calculation on encrypted data. HEIR (Homomorphic Encryption Intermediate Representation) project develops a compiler to practicalize the use of this complex technology. New updates were announced under the project.

The main objectives and final developments of the HEIR project are:

• Creating an intermediate representation (intermediate representation) to properly compile homomorphic encryption algorithms into hardware and software
• Integration of tools to improve developer experience and speed up debugging process u
• Provide compatibility with various homomorphic encryption libraries
• Increase the efficiency of progress and compiler in performance optimization

Homomorphic encryption has great potential in cloud computing and privacy-oriented applications. Especially in systems that work with sensitive data, the ability to process data in encrypted state significantly increases safety. The compiler projects like HEIR aim to remove technical obstacles in front of this technology’s more common use.

Thanks to project ongoing developments, homomorphic encryption is expected to be more accessible in real world applications.
