In this work, we provide the first practical secure email filtering scheme based on homomorphic encryption. Specifically, we construct a secure naïve Bayesian filter (SNBF) using the Paillier scheme, a partially homomorphic encryption (PHE) scheme. We first show that SNBF can be implemented with only the additive homomorphism, thus eliminating the need to employ expensive fully homomorphic schemes. In addition, the design space for specialized hardware architecture realizing SNBF is explored. We utilize a recursive Karatsuba Montgomery structure to accelerate the homomorphic operations, where multiplication of 2048-bit integers are carried out. Through the experiment, both software and hardware versions of the SNBF are implemented. On software, 104-105x runtime and 103x storage reduction are achieved by SNBF, when compared to existing fully homomorphic approaches. By instantiating the designed hardware for SNBF, a further 33x runtime and 1919x power reduction are achieved. The proposed hardware implementation classifies an average-length email in under 0.5s, which is much more practical than existing solutions.
