This paper proposes a configurable architecture of butterfly unit (BU) supporting number theoretic transform (NTT) and inverse NTT (INTT) accelerators in the ring learning with error based homomorphic encryption. The proposed architecture is fully pipelined and carefully optimized the critical path delay. To compare with related works, several BU designs of different bit-size specific primes are synthesized and successfully placed-and-routed on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ ZCU102 FPGA platform. Implementation results show that the proposed BU designs achieve 3× acceleration with more efficient resource utilization compared with previous works. Thus, the proposed BU architecture is worthwhile to develop NTTINTT accelerators in advanced homomorphic encryption systems.
