HEAT: Faster Fully Homomorphic Inference via Approximations-Weights Co-Adaptation

HEAT introduces a fine‑tuning method that treats the number of iterations used to approximate nonlinearities in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) as learnable parameters, allowing them to co‑adapt with model weights. By optimizing iteration counts per nonlinearity, HEAT reduces the required iterations, bootstraps, and overall latency for encrypted GPT‑2 decoding while improving decode agreement. The approach achieves a 3.1× reduction in iterations, a 1.6× reduction in bootstraps, and a 1.4× speed‑up in end‑to‑end latency without changing the model architecture or requiring retraining from scratch.

TGHE: Template-based Graph Homomorphic Encryption for Privacy-Preserving GNN Inference in Edge-Cloud Systems

arXiv:2606. 26664v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing homomorphic encryption (HE)-based GNN systems adopt a graph-centric paradigm that couples per-query cost to global graph size, limiting evaluations to at most ~20k nodes and making them incompatible with dynamic, large-scale financial graphs.

MOSAIC: Masked Outsourcing of Secure AI Computations

arXiv:2607. 29221v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We address the challenge of securely and efficiently outsourcing AI computations from a trusted but computationally weak client to an untrusted but powerful server, in the setting where the client holds both the input and the model, and the server must learn neither.

SpliTEE: Improving LLM Inference on Trusted Hardware with Differentially Private GPU Outsourcing

SpliTEE extends the split‑inference architecture of Slalom to large language models by protecting intermediate GPU computations with differential privacy rather than encryption. The authors show that masking intermediate representations is essential, as a prompt‑reconstruction attack can recover prompts with about 80% accuracy. Their global sensitivity analysis bounds the noise needed, and they demonstrate that SpliTEE on Intel TDX achieves near‑double the speed of fully CPU‑based inference and outperforms encryption‑based Slalom while maintaining higher accuracy.
