The DPRIVE hardware acceleration project aims to achieve mass market adoption readiness for data-in-use protection

HOBOKEN, NJ , January 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — duality technologies, the leading provider of privacy law collaboration, today announced that it has been selected for Phase II of DARPA’s Virtual Privacy Protection (DPRIVE) program. New capabilities for accelerated machine learning with privacy protections being developed as part of the project will be integrated into Duality Technology’s secure data collaboration platform, providing customers with the most comprehensive way to apply data science and machine learning to sensitive data in a purposeful and collaborative way data silos that exist within and between organizations are broken down.

“Duality has emerged as a clear global leader in making privacy technology real and workable orders of magnitude faster than anyone else,” said Prof. Kurt Rohloff, Chief Technical Officer and co-founder of Duality. “We have assembled an acclaimed hardware and software acceleration team and continue to make great strides to make what many people still believe impossible – possible.”

With support from DARPA in the DPRIVE program, the Duality TREBUCHET team continues on its journey to bring the Duality-powered OpenFHE (openfhe.org) library for Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) calculations, aiming to significantly reduce current computational effort and drastically speed up FHE calculations. This leading open-source FHE software library revolutionizes the computation of encrypted data and ensures data security to address US Government, Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial applications.

Duality was selected for Phase II of DPRIVE following success in a hard-fought Phase I round that brought together hardware acceleration teams from the largest…
