Abstract | With the recent explosion of data breaches and data misuse cases, there is more demand than ever for secure system designs that fundamentally tackle today's data trust models. One promising alternative to today's trust model is true end-to-end encryption without however compromising user experience nor data utility. Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) provides a powerful tool in empowering users with more control over their data, while still benefiting from computing services of remote services, though without trusting them with plaintext data. However, due to the complexity of fully homomorphic encryption, it has remained reserved exclusively for a small group of domain experts. With our system Marble, we make FHE accessible to the broader community of researchers and developers. Marble takes away the complexity of setup and configuration associated with FHE schemes. It provides a familiar programming environment. Marble allows rapid feasibility assessment and development of FHE-based applications. More importantly, Marble benchmarks the overall performance of an FHE-based application, as part of the feasibility assessment. With real-world application case-studies, we show the practicality of Marble. |
