Why Existing FHE is Too Slow for Production

Fully Homomorphic Encryption promises computation on encrypted data—but existing implementations are measured in seconds, not microseconds.

Microsoft SEAL requires expensive RNS-to-BigInt conversions on every operation. Zama charges six-figure licensing fees and still can't match our speed. Neither offers bootstrapping, GPU acceleration, or the complete authentication stack modern applications demand.

H33 rewrote the math.

"We eliminated big integer operations entirely. The result is FHE that's finally fast enough for real-time authentication."
SEAL's Multiplication Path
RNS BigInt Multiply Divide by t RNS
~180ms per operation
H33's Multiplication Path
RNS Extend Base RNS Multiply Bajard Scale Done

Benchmarks performed on AWS c7i.48xlarge with AVX-512. February 2026.
NIST-Compliant Auth: 1.75ms (PQC 236µs + FHE Standard 1.43ms). +STARK optional (+1.5ms).
29-34x faster than Microsoft SEAL at equivalent N=4096 security.
Turbo mode (~650µs) is ~100-bit security only—use Standard for NIST compliance.

Why H33 Beats SEAL Architecturally

It's not just faster—it's architecturally superior with capabilities Microsoft SEAL simply doesn't have.

Microsoft SEAL
  • Full-RNS BFV
    Slow conversion path: RNS→BigInt→Multiply→Divide→RNS
  • Bootstrapping
    Not supported—limited multiplicative depth
  • Scheme Switching
    Not supported—stuck in one scheme
  • GPU Acceleration
    CPU only
  • Hybrid Key Switching
    Basic implementation—more noise growth
  • Parameter Selection
    Conservative defaults—not optimized
H33-FHE
  • Full-RNS BFV
    Bajard scaling—zero big integer operations
  • Bootstrapping
    Full CKKS bootstrap for unlimited depth
  • Scheme Switching
    Seamless CKKS ↔ BFV transitions
  • GPU Acceleration
    CUDA + Metal compute shaders
  • Hybrid Key Switching
    Optimized noise growth
  • Parameter Selection
    Lattice-estimator optimized

H33 vs. Zama: The Commercial Alternative

Zama charges $100K–$500K+ for patent licenses and requires $ZAMA tokens. H33 is 100x faster with zero license fees.

ZAMA
  • Speed Baseline
  • License $100K–$500K+
  • Token Dependency $ZAMA required
  • Stack FHE only
H33
  • Speed ~100x faster
  • License $0. Ever.
  • Token Dependency None
  • Stack FHE + ZK + PQ + Bio

10M Operations / Year

Zama (license + ops + token)

H33 (operations only)
$35K–$70K

The Engineering Behind the Speed

1
Full-RNS BFV Multiplication

Eliminates expensive RNS ↔ BigInt conversions using Bajard et al.'s scaling technique. All operations stay in residue number system representation.
Result: 4x faster multiply

2
AVX-512 Number Theoretic Transform

Hand-optimized NTT kernels leveraging 512-bit SIMD operations. Optional GPU offload via CUDA and Metal compute shaders.
Result: 3.5x faster transforms

3
CKKS Bootstrapping

Full bootstrapping implementation enables unlimited computation depth—something SEAL cannot do at all.
Result: Unlimited multiplicative depth

4
Hybrid Key Switching

Advanced key switching with optimized noise budget management. Less noise growth means more operations before refresh.
Result: 3.6x faster key operations

5
Lattice-Estimator Optimized Parameters

Security parameters tuned against latest lattice attack estimates rather than conservative defaults.
Result: Optimal security/performance balance
