Abstract

Abstract Data can be stored and processed in an encrypted format using fully homomorphic encryption, which makes cloud computing provider can process data well without even knowing data information. However, most existing homomorphic encryption schemes based on ring learning with errors, focus on the special classes of rings, such as power-of-two cyclotomic rings, which significantly limits its application efficiency in cloud computing. Therefore, in this letter, to solve this problem above, an efficient fully homomorphic encryption scheme is proposed based on ring learning with errors in arbitrary cyclotomic rings. Particularly, a “somewhat homomorphic encryption” scheme is firstly proposed based on ring learning with errors. A novel fully homomorphic encryption scheme is further presented using key-switching. With theoretical and experimental verification, the proposed scheme has advantage of high efficiency of encryption and decryption. The security of our scheme strictly reduces to hardness of decision ring learning with errors problem in the random oracle model.

Fully Homomorphic Encryption from Ring-LWE：Identity-Based，Arbitrary Cyclotomic，Tighter Parameters.

Chunxiang Gu, Dan Xin, Yonghui Zheng +1 more

1 (State Key Laboratory of Mathematical Engineering and Advanced Computing , Zhengzhou 450001) Abstract: Fully homomorphic is an encryption scheme that allows for data to be stored and processed in an encrypted format, which gives the cloud provider a solution to host and process data without even knowing what the message is. In previous identity-based homomorphic encryption scheme, computing efficiency is complicated and expensive. In this work, based on Regev’s work, we propose a sampling trapdoor one-way function in arbitrary cyclotomic rings [ ] ( ) / 1 n R X x = + Z . Then construct a leveled identity-based homomorphic encryption scheme from ring learning with errors, which has advantage in computational efficiency and key management, by using user’s identity as the unique public key. This scheme is proved IND-CPA secure in the random oracle model, relied to hardness of decision ring learning with errors problem.

Efficient fully homomorphic encryption with circularly secure key switching process

Xiaoyuan Yang, Wei Zhang, Liqiang Wu +1 more

Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) has important applications in cloud computing. However, almost all fully homomorphic encryption schemes share two common flaws that they all use large-scale secret keys and some operations are inefficient. In this paper, the 'special b' variant of the learning with errors problem (bLWE) is presented, and helps us construct the first circularly secure key switching process which can replace the key switching process and similar re-linearisation process used by the existing FHE schemes. Then, we present an efficient FHE. Compared with Brakerski's scheme, our scheme reduces L secret keys to one and is more efficient. Finally, we prove the chosen-plaintext attack (CPA) security of the fully homomorphic scheme and the circular security of key switching process in standard model under the learning with errors problem (LWE) assumption.

A Multi-Bit Fully Homomorphic Encryption with Shorter Public Key from LWE

Zhigang Chen, Xinxia Song

The efficiency of fully homomorphic encryption is a big question at present. To improve efficiency of fully homomorphic encryption, we use the technique of packed ciphertext to construct a multi-bit fully homomorphic encryption based on Learning with Errors problem. Our scheme has a short public key. Since our fully homomorphic encryption scheme builds on the basic encryption scheme that choose Learning with Errors samples from Gaussian distribution and add Gaussian error to it, which result in that the number of Learning with Errors samples decrease from 2nlogq to n+1. We prove that our fully homomorphic encryption scheme is feasible and its security relies on the hardness of Learning with Errors problem. In addition we adapt the optimization for the process of key switching from GHS13 and formal this new process of key switching for multi-bit fully homomorphic encryption. At last, we analyze the concert parameters and compare these parameters between our scheme and GHS13 scheme. The data show that our scheme has public key smaller by a factor of about logq than it in GHS13 scheme.

Towards an efficient LWE‐based fully homomorphic encryption scheme

Uddipana Dowerah, Srinivasan Krishnaswamy

Abstract The security of most early fully homomorphic encryption schemes was based on the hardness of the Learning with Errors (LWE) problem. These schemes were inefficient in terms of per gate computations and public‐key size. More efficient schemes were later developed based on the hardness of the Ring‐LWE (RLWE) problem. While the hardness of the LWE problem is based on the hardness of the approximate shortest vector problem (GapSVP γ ) over regular lattices, the hardness of the RLWE problem is based on the hardness of the approximate shortest vector problem over ideal lattices. As of now, it has not been proved that the (GapSVP γ ) problem over ideal lattices is as difficult as the corresponding problem over regular lattices. In this work, the authors propose a multi‐bit levelled fully homomorphic encryption scheme using multivariate polynomial evaluations whose security depends on the hardness of the LWE problem. In terms of per gate computation cost, this scheme is more efficient than existing LWE‐based schemes. Further, for an appropriate choice of parameters, the per computation cost for homomorphic multiplication can be made asymptotically comparable to RLWE‐based schemes in a parallel computing environment. For homomorphic multiplication, the scheme uses a polynomial‐based technique that does not require relinearization (and key switching).

Dual LWE-Based Fully Homomorphic Encryption with Errorless Key Switching

Zengpeng Li, Chunguang Ma, Gang Du +1 more

Cloud computing raises new challenges for how to protect user privacy. Fully homomorphic encryption is one way to solve the problem. In this paper, we show a useful property of Dual-LWE assumption to construct Key-Switching procedure compared with LWE assumption without extra error term. Hence, we propose to construct "Errorless Key Switching" fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) scheme based on dual learning with errors (Dual-LWE) assumption. Specifically, we compile the Dual-LWE problem proposed by Gentry et.al. at STOC2008 and First-is-errorless LWE (Ferr.LWE) problem proposed by Brakerski et al. at STOC2013 into Dual-First-is-errorless LWE (Dual-Ferr.LWE) problem. Then, utilizing Dual-Ferr.LWE assumption to construct a various GPV(vGPV) scheme, and we use vGPV scheme as the fundamental building block to construct FHE with errorless key switching scheme. Lastly, under the assumption of decisional learning with errors(DLWE), we prove that our scheme is CPA secure.
