ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,368,571, issued on July 22, was assigned to Trustees of Boston University (Boston).

"Computing system for fully homomorphic encryption applications using parallelizable hybrid bootstrapping" was invented by Rashmi S. Agrawal (Cambridge, Mass.) and Ajay J. Joshi (Lexington, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A computing system includes accelerator devices for hardware acceleration of operations of a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) application, including a hybrid bootstrapping operation that may be parallelized for increased performance. Hybrid bootstrapping includes a first extraction on a first ciphertext (e.g., Ring Learning with E...
