ZK12: Speedrunning (T)FHE - Ravital Solomon & Rick Weber

This was recorded at the ZK12 - Zero Knowledge Summit 12 on October 8th, 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal. https://www.zksummit.com/ Title: Speedrunning (T)FHE Speaker: Ravital Solomon & Rick Weber Project: Sunscreen Description: Unlike ZK, FHE has seen relatively little theoretical progress in the past 5 years, with TFHE (T for torus, not threshold!) serving as the latest (and supposedly greatest) FHE scheme. Most researchers focus on hardware acceleration to improve performance yet there are other dimensions to consider which have been neglected by the community at large – from different bootstrapping flavors and decomposition parameters to error rates. We’ll showcase how to finetune TFHE to get up to 4x better performance (having run millions of simulations so you don’t have to!) to realize real-world applications. ----------- If you are looking to jump into ZK professionally, check out the ZK Jobs board to find job posts from some of the top teams working in ZK - https://jobsboard.zeroknowledge.fm ------------ If you like what we do: Subscribe to our podcast newsletter - https://zeroknowledge.substack.com Follow us on Twitter @zeroknowledgefm Join us on Telegram - https://zeroknowledge.fm/telegram
