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.

HE-Guardrail is a framework that applies homomorphic encryption to enforce guardrails against jailbreak attacks during encrypted large language model inference. It evaluates guardrail mechanisms—Llama Guard, JBShield, and GradSafe—directly on encrypted data, deciding whether to return the model’s response to the client. The approach preserves confidentiality while closely matching the decisions of plaintext guardrails, offering varied security-efficiency-utility trade‑offs.
