The field of privacy-preserving computing and cryptography is rapidly advancing, with a focus on developing innovative solutions to protect sensitive data and ensure secure computation. Recent developments have centered around fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), trusted execution environments (TEEs), and secure multi-party computation. Notably, researchers have been exploring the application of FHE in various domains, including database systems and machine learning. Furthermore, the use of TEEs has been gaining traction as a means to provide secure execution environments for sensitive computations. In addition, there has been significant progress in the development of more efficient and scalable cryptographic protocols, such as hybrid homomorphic encryption and format-preserving encryption. These advances have the potential to enable secure and private computation in a wide range of applications, from cloud computing to edge devices. Noteworthy papers include FHE-SQL, which enables secure query processing on encrypted data, and SecureInfer, a heterogeneous TEE-GPU architecture for privacy-critical tensors in large language model deployment. Another notable work is HHEML, a hybrid homomorphic encryption framework for privacy-preserving machine learning on edge devices.
