Abstract

Abstract:To optimize noise management in fully homomorphic encryption scheme,a fully homomorphic encryption scheme with better parameters size was proposed.The security parameters of the scheme were estimated.Given security level,the maximal value of modulus q was got.Then the concert security parameters of the scheme were obtained by the condition of correct decryption among noise growth,circuit depth L and modulus q.The security parameters of Bra12 scheme also was obtained by the same way.The data showed that this scheme has better parameters size.The ciphertext from homomorphic multiplication is smaller by a factor about lb2 q than in Bra12 scheme and the corresponding tensored key is smaller by a factor about lb3 q than in Bra12 scheme.The matrix of key switching is smaller by a factor about lb2 q than in Bra12 scheme.The optimization for noise management is general,which can be used in the fully homomorphic encryption schemes based on LWE in which the noise growth depends on the secret key.

Fully homomorphic encryption is faced with two problems now. One is candidate fully homomorphic encryption schemes are few. Another is that the efficiency of fully homomorphic encryption is a big question. In this paper, we propose a fully homomorphic encryption scheme based on LWE, which has better key size. Our main contributions are: (1) According to the binary-LWE recently, we choose secret key from binary set and modify the basic encryption scheme proposed in Linder and Peikert in 2010. We propose a fully homomorphic encryption scheme based on the new basic encryption scheme. We analyze the correctness and give the proof of the security of our scheme. The public key, evaluation keys and tensored ciphertext have better size in our scheme. (2) Estimating parameters for fully homomorphic encryption scheme is an important work. We estimate the concert parameters for our scheme. We compare these parameters between our scheme and Bra12 scheme. Our scheme have public key and private key that smaller by a factor of about logq than in Bra12 scheme. Tensored ciphertext in our scheme is smaller by a factor of about log2q than in Bra12 scheme. Key switching matrix in our scheme is smaller by a factor of about log3q than in Bra12 scheme.

A Regev-Type Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme Using Modulus Switching

Zhigang Chen, Jian Wang, Liqun Chen +1 more

A critical challenge in a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) scheme is to manage noise. Modulus switching technique is currently the most efficient noise management technique. When using the modulus switching technique to design and implement a FHE scheme, how to choose concrete parameters is an important step, but to our best knowledge, this step has drawn very little attention to the existing FHE researches in the literature. The contributions of this paper are twofold. On one hand, we propose a function of the lower bound of dimension value in the switching techniques depending on the LWE specific security levels. On the other hand, as a case study, we modify the Brakerski FHE scheme (in Crypto 2012) by using the modulus switching technique. We recommend concrete parameter values of our proposed scheme and provide security analysis. Our result shows that the modified FHE scheme is more efficient than the original Brakerski scheme in the same security level.

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.

A Multi-Bit Fully Homomorphic Encryption With Shorter Public Key From LWE

Xinxia Song, Zhigang Chen, Liang Chen

There has been a great deal of work on improving the efficiency of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) scheme. Our approach, in this regard, is to use the idea of packed ciphertexts to construct a multi-bit FHE with a short public key on the basis of the learning with errors (LWE) problem. More specifically, our FHE scheme builds on a basic encryption scheme that chooses LWE samples from the Gaussian distribution and adds Gaussian error to it. This results in decreasing the number of LWE samples from 2nlogq to n + 1. We prove that our FHE scheme is pragmatically feasible and its security relies on the hardness of the LWE problem. In addition, we form a new process of key switching for multi-bit FHE based on the ideas adopted by Brakerski et al. for optimizing the process of key switching. Finally, we analyze and compare the concrete parameters between our FHE scheme and BGH13 scheme. The result shows that compared with the BGH13 scheme, our scheme has a smaller public key by a factor about logq.

Somewhat Practical Fully Homomorphic Encryption.

Junfeng Fan, Fréderik Vercauteren

Abstract. In this paper we port Brakerski’s fully homomorphic scheme based on the Learning With Errors (LWE) problem to the ring-LWE setting. We introduce two optimised versions of relinearisation that not only result in a smaller relinearisation key, but also faster computations. We provide a detailed, but simple analysis of the various homomorphic operations, such as multiplication, relinearisation and bootstrapping, and derive tight worst case bounds on the noise caused by these operations. The analysis of the bootstrapping step is greatly simplified by using a modulus switching trick. Finally, we derive concrete parameters for which the scheme provides a given level of security and becomes fully homomorphic. 1

Modified multi-key fully homomorphic encryption based on NTRU cryptosystem without key-switching

Xiaoliang Che, Tanping Zhou, Ningbo Li +3 more

The Multi-Key Fully Homomorphic Encryption (MKFHE) based on the NTRU cryptosystem is an important alternative to the post-quantum cryptography due to its simple scheme form, high efficiency, and fewer ciphertexts and keys. In 2012, Lopez-Alt et al. proposed the first NTRU-type MKFHE scheme, the LTV12 scheme, using the key-switching and modulus-reduction techniques, whose security relies on two assumptions: the Ring Learning With Error (RLWE) assumption and the Decisional Small Polynomial Ratio (DSPR) assumption. However, the LTV12 and subsequent NTRU-type schemes are restricted to the family of power-of-2 cyclotomic rings, which may affect the security in the case of subfield attacks. Moreover, the key-switching technique of the LTV12 scheme requires a circular application of evaluation keys, which causes rapid growth of the error and thus affects the circuit depth. In this paper, an NTRU-type MKFHE scheme over prime cyclotomic rings without key-switching is proposed, which has the potential to resist the subfield attack and decrease the error exponentially during the homomorphic evaluating process. First, based on the RLWE and DSPR assumptions over the prime cyclotomic rings, a detailed analysis of the factors affecting the error during the homomorphic evaluations in the LTV12 scheme is provided. Next, a Low Bit Discarded & Dimension Expansion of Ciphertexts (LBD&DEC) technique is proposed, and the inherent homomorphic multiplication decryption structure of the NTRU is proposed, which can eliminate the key-switching operation in the LTV12 scheme. Finally, a leveled NTRU-type MKFHE scheme is developed using the LBD&DEC and modulus-reduction techniques. The analysis shows that the proposed scheme compared to the LTV12 scheme can decrease the magnitude of the error exponentially and minimize the dimension of ciphertexts.
