ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 30 -- United States Patent no. 12,375,260, issued on July 29, was assigned to ZAMA SAS (Paris).

"Optimizing encrypted computation parameters" was invented by Quentin Bourgerie (Paris), Damien Ligier (Paris) and Samuel Jacques Jean Tap (Paris).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Some embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method of determining encrypted computation parameters for carrying out an encrypted computation on noisy ciphertexts. A computation graph is divided into multiple subgraphs, defined by a type and by instantiation parameters for the type. Respective sets of encrypted computation parameters are defined for the respective types. An optimization of th...
