💾 Library Updates
The team at Zama has just released the first stable version of their TFHE-rs library (v1.0), which represents the first stable CPU release of the library. This comes alongside an associated handbook which outlines in detail all of the algorithms used in the library. The TFHE-rs library implements Zama’s variant of TFHE, which enables efficient arithmetic on large integers. Check out more on Zama’s blog.
🎫 Upcoming Events
The 8th HomomorphicEncryption.org Standards Meeting will be held on March 23rd 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey. See more information on their event webpage.
