Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) has been dubbed the holy grail of cryptography, an elusive goal which could solve the IT world’s problems of security and trust. Research in the area exploded after 2009 when Craig Gentry showed that FHE can be realised in principle. Since that time considerable progress has been made in finding more practical and more efficient solutions. Whilst research quickly developed, terminology and concepts became diverse and confusing so that today it can be difficult…

Fully homomorphic encryption with applications to electronic voting
Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) has been dubbed the holy grail of cryptography, an elusive goal which could solve the IT world’s problems of security and trust. Research in the area exploded after…
Fully Homomorphic Distributed Identity-based Encryption Resilient to Continual Auxiliary Input Leakage
TLDR
This work shows how to construct a distributed fully homomorphic identity-based encryption secure in the continual auxiliary input model based on the fully Homomorphic scheme of Gentry, Sahai and Waters and relies merely on the learning with errors assumption, which is conjectured being resistant against quantum attacks.
Key-Recovery Attacks Against Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption Schemes
TLDR
In 1978, Rivest, Adleman and Dertouzos introduced the concept of privacy homomorphism and Gentry gave a positive answer in his seminal paper at STOC 2009, by proposing an ingenious approach to construct fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) schemes.
An Overview on Homomorphic Encryption Algorithms
TLDR
The concepts that support modern homomorphic encryption schemes, together with the description of some FHE schemes, are presented and some practical applications for processing sensitive data are presented.
Fully homomorphic encryption must be fat or ugly?
TLDR
It is proved that fully homomorphic schemes are impossible for several algebraic structures, and a conjecture stating that secure FHE schemes must either have a significant ciphertext expansion or use unusual algebraic structure is proposed.
A Survey on Homomorphic Encryption Schemes: Theory and Implementation
TLDR
The basics of HE and the details of the well-known Partially Homomorphic Encryption and Somewhat HomomorphicEncryption, which are important pillars of achieving FHE, are presented and the main FHE families, which have become the base for the other follow-up FHE schemes are presented.
Verifiable Computing from Fully Homomorphic Encryption
TLDR
This chapter discusses approaches to verifiable computing that use fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) as a building block and describes the verifiable Computing schemes using this primitive, i.e. the client encrypts the data before it outsources it to the server.
Practical Privacy-Preserving Data Science With Homomorphic Encryption: An Overview

  • 2020
TLDR
This article focuses on how HE and data science can be leveraged to design and develop privacy-preserving enterprise applications and proposes a survey of main Homomorphic Encryption techniques and recent advances in the conubium between data science and HE.
Privacypreservingdistributed optimizationusing homomorphic encryption ?
TLDR
Novel algorithms are proposed which can achieve secure multiparty computation with perfect correctness and the correctness and computational efficiency are verified by two case studies of power systems, one on a demand response problem and the other on an optimal power flow problem.
The Handling of Noise and Security of Two Fully Homomorphic Encryption Schemes
Noise is introduced as a means to ensure security of encryption schemes in general, and fully homomorphic encryption schemes in particular. Strategies to control the growth of this and thereby…

FHEW: Bootstrapping Homomorphic Encryption in Less Than a Second
TLDR
A new method to homomorphically compute simple bit operations, and refresh (bootstrap) the resulting output, which runs on a personal computer in just about half a second, and is presented on the performance of the prototype implementation.

TLDR
This book provides the new fully homomorphic encryption scheme without “bootstrapping” which runs fast for practical use and is immune from the attacks by the quantum computers.
Fully Homomorphic Encryption from Ring-LWE and Security for Key Dependent Messages
TLDR
A somewhat homomorphic encryption scheme that is both very simple to describe and analyze, and whose security reduces to the worst-case hardness of problems on ideal lattices using the RLWE assumption, which allows us to completely abstract out the lattice interpretation.
On the Relationship between Functional Encryption, Obfuscation, and Fully Homomorphic Encryption
TLDR
It is shown that RFEs constructed in this way can be used to construct FHE schemes thereby establishing a relation between the FHE and FE primitives.

TLDR
This talk will survey the current state of the art and the trade-offs when using homomorphic encryption, and highlight scenarios and functionality where homomorphic encrypted data can be used to enable private versions of some basic machine learning algorithms.
Faster Fully Homomorphic Encryption
TLDR
Two improvements to Gentry’s fully homomorphic scheme based on ideal lattices are described: a more aggressive analysis of one of the hardness assumptions and a probabilistic decryption algorithm that can be implemented with an algebraic circuit of low multiplicative degree.
Implementing Gentry's Fully-Homomorphic Encryption Scheme
TLDR
A working implementation of a variant of Gentry's fully homomorphic encryption scheme, similar to the variant used in an earlier implementation effort by Smart and Vercauteren (PKC 2010), with a number of optimizations that allow it to implement all aspects of the scheme, including the bootstrapping functionality.
Efficient Fully Homomorphic Encryption from (Standard) LWE
TLDR
A new dimension-modulus reduction technique is introduced, which shortens the cipher texts and reduces the decryption complexity of the scheme, showing that ``somewhat homomorphic'' encryption can be based on LWE, using a new re-linearization technique.

We show how to transform any additively homomorphic private-key encryption scheme that is compact, into a public-key encryption scheme. By compact we mean that the length of a homomorphically…
Fully homomorphic SIMD operations
TLDR
It is shown that the SIMD operations can be used to perform the recrypt procedure in parallel, resulting in a substantial speed-up, and this somewhat homomorphic scheme can be made fully homomorphic in a naive way by recrypting all data elements separately.
