Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Craig Gentry presented in 2009 the first fully homomorphic encryption scheme. Since then, a tremendous effort has been, and still is, dedicated by the cryptographic community to make practical this new kind of cryptography. It is revolutionnary because it enables direct computation on encrypted data (without the need for the computing entity to decrypt them). Several trends have been developed in parallel, exploring on one side fully homomorphic encryption schemes, more versatile for applications but more costly in terms of time and memory. On the other side, the somewhat homomorphic encryption schemes are less flexible but more efficient. This thesis, achieved within the Chair of Naval Cyber Defence, contributes to these trends. We have endorsed different roles. First, an attacker position to assess the hardness of the security assumptions of the proposals. Then, we conducted a state-of-the-art of the most promising schemes in order to identify the best(s) depending on the use-cases and to give precise advice to appropriately set the parameters that drive security level, ciphertext sizes and computation costs. Last, we endorsed a designer role. We proposed a new powerful fully homomorphic encryption scheme together with its open-source implementation, available on github.

This book was released on 2023-10-28 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the current state of the literature on the fields of homomorphic and searchable encryption, from both theoretical and practical points of view. Homomorphic and searchable encryption are still relatively novel and rapidly evolving areas and face practical constraints in the contexts of large-scale cloud computing and big data. Both encryption methods can be quantum-resistant if they use the right mathematical techniques. In fact, many fully homomorphic encryption schemes already use quantum-resistant techniques, such as lattices or characteristics of polynomials – which is what motivated the authors to present them in detail. On the one hand, the book highlights the characteristics of each type of encryption, including methods, security elements, security requirements, and the main types of attacks that can occur. On the other, it includes practical cases and addresses aspects like performance, limitations, etc. As cloud computing and big data already represent the future in terms of storing, managing, analyzing, and processing data, these processes need to be made as secure as possible, and homomorphic and searchable encryption hold huge potential to secure both the data involved and the processes through which it passes. This book is intended for graduates, professionals and researchers alike. Homomorphic and searchable encryption involve advanced mathematical techniques; accordingly, readers should have a basic background in number theory, abstract algebra, lattice theory, and polynomial algebra.

Download or read book Fully Homomorphic Encryption in Real World Applications written by Ayantika Chatterjee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the latest developments in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), an effective means of performing arbitrary operations on encrypted data before storing it in the ‘cloud’. The book begins by addressing perennial problems like sorting and searching through FHE data, followed by a detailed discussion of the basic components of any algorithm and adapting them to handle FHE data. In turn, the book focuses on algorithms in both non-recursive and recursive versions and discusses their realizations and challenges while operating in the FHE domain on existing unencrypted processors. It highlights potential complications and proposes solutions for encrypted database design with complex queries, including the basic design details of an encrypted processor architecture to support FHE operations in real-world applications.

Download or read book Fully Homomorphic Encryption Without Bootstrapping written by Masahiro Yagisawa and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully homomorphic encryption(FHE) is the cryptosystem which supports both addition and multiplication. The existence of the cryptosystems which have efficiency and fully homomorphism would bring great practical implications in the outsourcing of private computations, for instance, in the context of cloud computing. But FHE scheme which runs fast for practical use is not proposed until now because the scheme requires huge complexity. This book, therefore, provides the new fully homomorphic encryption scheme without "bootstrapping" which runs fast for practical use. The system runs on octonion ring over the finite field Fq. The security of this system is based on the computational difficulty to solve the multivariate algebraic equations. To break this cryptosystem it is thought that we probably need to solve the multivariate algebraic equations that is equal to solving the NP complete problem. Then it is thought that this system is immune from the attacks by the quantum computers. This book is written for graduate students to active researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides basic knowledge required by an application developer to understand and use the Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology for privacy preserving Data-Science applications. The authors present various techniques to leverage the unique features of FHE and to overcome its characteristic limitations. Specifically, this book summarizes polynomial approximation techniques used by FHE applications and various data packing schemes based on a data structure called tile tensors, and demonstrates how to use the studied techniques in several specific privacy preserving applications. Examples and exercises are also included throughout this book. The proliferation of practical FHE technology has triggered a wide interest in the field and a common wish to experience and understand it. This book aims to simplify the FHE world for those who are interested in privacy preserving data science tasks, and for an audience that does not necessarily have a deep cryptographic background, including undergraduate and graduate-level students in computer science, and data scientists who plan to work on private data and models.

Download or read book Improving the Efficiency of Homomorphic Encryption Schemes written by Yin Hu and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In this dissertation, we explore different approaches to practical homomorphic encryption schemes. For partial homomorphic encryption schemes, we observe that the versatility is the main bottleneck. To solve this problem, we propose general approaches to improve versatility of them by either extending the range of supported circuits or extending the message space. These general approaches can be applied to a wide range of partial HE schemes and greatly increase the number of applications that they support. For fully homomorphic encryption schemes, the slow running speed and the large ciphertext are the main challenges. Therefore, we propose efficient implementations as well as methods to compress the ciphertext. In detail, the Gentry Halevi FHE scheme and the LTV FHE scheme are implemented and the resulting performance shows significant improvement over previous works. For ciphertext compression, the concept of scheme conversion is proposed. Given a scheme converter, we can convert between schemes with compact ciphertext for communication and homomorphic schemes for computation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accelerating pace at which quantum computing is developing makes it almost inevitable that some of the major cryptographic algorithms and protocols we rely on daily, for everything from internet shopping to running our critical infrastructure, may be compromised in the coming years. This book presents 11 papers from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on Quantum and Post-Quantum Cryptography, hosted in Malta in November 2021. The workshop set out to understand and reconcile two seemingly divergent points of view on post-quantum cryptography and secure communication: would it be better to deploy post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms or quantum key distribution (QKD)? The workshop brought these two communities together to work towards a future in which the two technologies are seen as complementary solutions to secure communication systems at both a hardware (QKD) and software (PQC) level, rather than being in competition with each other. Subjects include the education of an adequate workforce and the challenges of adjusting university curricula for the quantum age; whether PQC and QKD are both required to enable a quantum-safe future and the case for hybrid approaches; and technical aspects of implementing quantum-secure communication systems. The efforts of two NATO nations to address the possible emergence of cryptanalytically-relevant quantum computers are explored, as are two cryptographic applications which go beyond the basic goal of securing two-party communication in a post-quantum world. The book includes economic and broader societal perspectives as well as the strictly technical, and adds a helpful, new contribution to this conversation.

Download or read book Exploring the Application of Homomorphic Encryption for a Cross Domain Solution written by Cody W. Tinker and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A cross domain solution is a means of information assurance that provides the ability to access or transfer digital data between varying security domains. Most acceptable cross domain solutions focus mainly on risk management policies that rely on using protected or trusted parties to handle the information in order to solve this problem; thus, a cross domain solution that is able to function in the presence of untrusted parties is an open problem. Homomorphic encryption is a type of encryption that allows its party members to operate and evaluate encrypted data without the need to decrypt it. Practical homomorphic encryption is an emerging technology that may propose a solution to the unsolved problem of cross domain routing without leaking information as well as many other unique scenarios. However, despite much advancement in research, current homomorphic schemes still challenge to achieve high performance. Thus, the plausibility of its implementation relies on the requirements of the tailored application. We apply the concepts of homomorphic encryption to explore a new solution in the context of a cross domain problem. We built a practical software case study application using the YASHE fully homomorphic scheme around the specific challenge of evaluating the gateway bypass condition on encrypted data. Next, we assess the plausibility of such an application through memory and performance profiling in order to find an optimal parameter selection that ensures proper homomorphic evaluation. The correctness of the application was assured for a 64-bit security parameter selection of YASHE resulting in high latency performance. However, literature has shown that the high latency performance can be heavily mitigated through use of hardware accelerators. Other configurations that include reducing number of SIMON rounds or avoiding the homomorphic SIMON evaluation completely were explored that show more promising performance results but either at the cost of security or network bandwidth."--Abstract.
