Fast fully-homomorphic encryption

In fields like defense, industry, healthcare, and finance, data privacy is a major challenge. One promising avenue is using fullyhomomorphic encryption (FHE) to compute on encrypted data. However, to implement this approach, many hurdles must be overcome—ones that CEA-List has been working on for years.

Hardware accelerator tightly coupled to a RISC-V core for post-quantum cryptography

With the development of quantum computers—and their threat to modern cryptography—post-quantum cryptography is gradually making inroads into the industrial ecosystem. HQC (Hamming Quasi-Cyclic) is one of the post-quantum encryption algorithms recently standardized by NIST.

Estimation of a multifingered gripper joint configuration using 3D point clouds and AI

In robotic gripping, the positions of the effectors (phalanges or fingertips) on an object must be controlled precisely. CEA-List looked at a practical case where the only information available was a 3D point cloud of the gripper, generated by visual sensors, simulations, or generative neural networks.

Quantum sensors lift the veil on neutrinos

Neutrinos, which are virtually undetectable particles, have been studied by the BeEST collaboration using ultra-sensitive quantum sensors, measuring for the first time the size of their wave packet at the moment of their creation.
