Homomorphic Encryption Performance Benchmarks

Benchmark report comparing FHE, CKKS, and BGV schemes across compute, memory, and latency metrics.

Key Highlights

  • CKKS vs BGV vs FHEW performance comparison
  • Compute, memory, and latency benchmarks
  • Hardware acceleration analysis (GPU, FPGA)
  • Real-world application case studies
  • Practical deployment recommendations

Overview

A comprehensive benchmark report comparing Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) schemes — CKKS, BGV, and FHEW — across computational overhead, memory usage, and latency metrics.

What's Inside

Benchmark Methodology

We benchmark addition, multiplication, and bootstrapping operations across parameter sets providing 128-bit security. Tests run on Intel Xeon, NVIDIA A100, and FPGA accelerators with standardized workloads.

Performance Results

CKKS excels at approximate arithmetic (100x overhead), BGV handles exact integer arithmetic (1000x overhead), and FHEW enables fast bootstrapping (10ms). We provide operation-specific latency and memory tables.
