The Multi-Scalar Multiplication (MSM) is the main barrier to accelerating Zero-Knowledge applications. In recent years, hardware acceleration of this algorithm on both FPGA and GPU has become a popular research topic subject multi-million dollar prize competition (ZPrize). This work presents OPTIMSM: Optimized Processing Through Iterative Multiplication. novel accelerator focuses MSM for any Elliptic Curve (EC) by improving upon Pippenger algorithm. A new iteration technique introduced...

Homomorphic encryption (HE) enables calculating on encrypted data, which makes it possible to perform privacy-preserving neural network inference. One disadvantage of this technique is that several orders magnitudes slower than calculation unencrypted data. Neural networks are commonly trained using floating-point, while most homomorphic libraries calculate integers, thus requiring a quantisation the network. A straightforward approach would be quantise large integer sizes (e.g. 32 bit)...
