Semifive wins 10 billion won cryptography accelerator development project
Semifive said on Feb. 19 it has signed a contract to win a turnkey project with U.S. fully homomorphic encryption hardware platform company Niobium to develop an FHE accelerator, worth about 10 billion won ($6.86 million). Semifive will provide an end-to-end ASIC solution from design to packaging and testing. The accelerator will be based on Samsung Foundry’s 8-nanometre process and aims to improve performance and efficiency versus software-based encryption.
