The existence of an efficient and provably secure algebraically homomorphic scheme (AHS), i.e., one that supports both addition and multiplication operations, is a long stated open problem. All proposals so far are either insecure or not provable secure, inefficient, or allow only for one multiplication (and arbitrary additions). As only very limited progress has been made on the existing approaches in the recent years, the question arises whether new methods can lead to more satisfactory…

Group homomorphic encryption: characterizations, impossibility results, and applications
TLDR
A new cryptosystem is designed which provides features that are unique up to now: Its IND-CPA security is based on the k-linear problem introduced by Shacham, and Hofheinz and Kiltz, while its IND-CCA1 security isbased on a new k-problem that is proved to have the same progressive property.

TLDR
A residue number system (RNS) variant to FHE of [12], which is also applicable to the DGHV scheme and improves the original scheme’s security, since the former relies only on the hardness of the A-GCD problem and eliminates the need for the sparsesubset-sum problem used in the original MS procedure.
Enhanced Flexibility for Homomorphic Encryption Schemes via CRT
TLDR
This paper presents a simple technique for ElGamal-type encryption schemes which facilitates encryption in an additively homomorphic manner, and shows that the CRT may be used to turn an intractable problem into a tractable one.
Royal Holloway, University of London A Survey of Fully Homomorphic Encryption
TLDR
The theory of homomorphic encryption is discussed and several encryption schemes with such properties are reviewed, including Gentry’s construction, and a brief summary of the earlier work related to homomorphicryption is given.
Symmetric Fully Homomorphic Encryption Using Decidable Matrix Equations
TLDR
The paper gives the formal definitions of new framework for secure cloud computing -- the primitive of compact symmetric fully homomorphic encryption scheme whose security relies on the difficulty of some NP-complete problem.
Fully homomorphic encryption using ideal lattices
TLDR
This work proposes a fully homomorphic encryption scheme that allows one to evaluate circuits over encrypted data without being able to decrypt, and describes a public key encryption scheme using ideal lattices that is almost bootstrappable.
Design and implementation of low-depth pairing-based homomorphic encryption scheme
TLDR
The design of a scheme based on pairings and elliptic curves, that is able to handle applications where the number of multiplication is not too high, with interesting practical efficiency when compared to lattice-based solutions is focused on.
How to Combine Homomorphic Encryption and Garbled Circuits - Improved Circuits and Computing the Minimum Distance Efficiently
TLDR
Ecient constant-round protocols for secure integer comparison, and the related problems of minimum selec- tion and minimum distance, which are crucial building blocks of many cryptographic schemes such as privacy preserving biometric authentica- tion (e.g., face recognition, ngerprint matching, etc).
Additively Homomorphic Encryption with d-Operand Multiplications
TLDR
This work defines a theoretical object, chained encryption schemes, which allow an efficient evaluation of polynomials of degree d over encrypted data, and proposes a chained encryption scheme whose INDCPA security is based on a worst-case/average-case reduction from uSVP.
A systematic approach to practically efficient general two-party secure function evaluation protocols and their modular design
TLDR
This article argues that in many cases the most efficient SFE protocols are obtained by combining several basic techniques, e.g., garbled circuits and additively homomorphic encryption, and presents a framework in which today's most efficient techniques for general SFE can be viewed as building blocks with well-defined interfaces that can be easily combined into a complete efficient solution.

TLDR
This paper deals with samplable PR instances over parameter choices for which decoding is not known to be feasibly solvable and where part of the solution polynomial is the hidden input, and puts forth a natural decisional intractability assumption that relates to this decoding problem.

TLDR
It appears likely that there exist encryption functions which permit encrypted data to be operated on without preliminary decryption of the operands, for many sets of interesting operations.
