Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) reaped the importance and amazement of most researchers and followers in data encryption issues, as programs are allowed to perform arithmetic operations on encrypted data without decrypting it and obtain results similar to the effects of arithmetic operations on unencrypted data. The first (FHE) model was introduced by Craig Gentry in 2009, and it was just theoretical research, but later significant progress was made on it, this research offers FHE system based on directly of factoring big prime numbers which consider open problem now, The proposed scheme offers a fully homomorphic system for data encryption and stores it in encrypted form on the cloud based on a new algorithm that has been tried on a local cloud and compared with two previous encryption systems (RSA and Paillier) and shows us that this algorithm reduces the time of encryption and decryption by 5 times compared to other systems.

Abstract Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) technology is a method of encrypting data that allows arbitrary calculations to be computed. Machine learning (ML) and many other applications are relevant to FHE such as Cloud Computing, Secure Multi-Party, and Data Aggregation. Only the authenticated user has the authority to decrypt the ciphertext and understand its meaning, as encrypted data can be computed and processed to produce an encrypted output. Homomorphic encryption uses arithmetic circuits that focus on addition and multiplication, allowing the user to add and multiply integers while encrypted. This paper discusses the performance of the Brakerski-Fan-Vercauteren scheme (BFV) and Cheon, Kim, Kim, and Song (CKKS) scheme using one of the most important libraries of FHE “Microsoft SEAL”, by applying certain arithmetic operations and observing the time consumed for every function applied in each scheme and the noise budget after every operation. The results obtained show the difference between the two schemes when applying the same operation and the number of sequential operations each can handle.

Fully homomorphic encryption schemes available are not efficient enough to be practical, and a number of real-world applications require only that a homomorphic encryption scheme is somewhat homomorphic, even additively homomorphic and has much larger message space for efficiency. An additively homomorphic encryption scheme based heavily on Smart-Vercauteren encryption scheme (SV10 scheme, PKC 2010) is put forward, where both schemes each work with two ideals I and J. As a contribution of independent interest, a two-element representation of the ideal I is given and proven by factoring prime numbers in a number field. This two-element representation serves as the public key. The authors' scheme allows working over much larger message space than that of SV10 scheme by selecting the ideal I with larger decryption radius to generate public/private key pair, instead of choosing the ideal J as done in the SV10 scheme. The correctness and security of the scheme are shown, followed by setting parameters and computational results. The results indicate that this construction has much larger message space than SV10 scheme.

Fully homomorphic encryption schemes (FHE) are a type of encryption algorithm dedicated to data security in cloud computing. It allows for performing computations over ciphertext. In addition to this characteristic, a verifiable FHE scheme has the capacity to allow an end user to verify the correctness of the computations done by a cloud server on his encrypted data. Since FHE schemes are known to be greedy in term of processing consumption and slow in terms of runtime execution, it is very useful to look for improvement techniques and tools to improve FHE performance. Parallelizing computations is among the best tools one can use for FHE improvement. Batching is a kind of parallelization of computations when applied to an FHE scheme, it gives it the capacity of encrypting and homomorphically processing a vector of plaintexts as a single ciphertext. This is used in the context of cloud computing to perform a known function on several ciphertexts for multiple clients at the same time. The advantage here is in optimizing resources on the cloud side and improving the quality of services provided by the cloud computing. In this article, the authors will present a detailed survey of different FHE improvement techniques in the literature and apply the batching technique to a promising verifiable FHE (VFHE) recently presented by the authors at the WINCOM17 conference.

Information retrieval in the cloud is common and convenient. Nevertheless, privacy concerns should not be ignored as the cloud is not fully trustable. Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) allows arbitrary operations to be performed on encrypted data, where the decryption of the result of ciphertext operation equals that of the corresponding plaintext operation. Thus, FHE schemes can be utilized for private information retrieval (PIR) on encrypted data. In the FHE scheme proposed by Ducas and Micciancio (DM), only a single homomorphic NOT AND (NAND) operation is allowed between consecutive ciphertext refreshings. Aiming at this problem, an improved FHE scheme is proposed for efficient PIR where homomorphic additions and multiplications are based on linear operations on ciphertext vectors. Theoretical analysis shows that when compared with the DM scheme, the proposed scheme allows multiple homomorphic additions and a single homomorphic multiplication to be performed. The number of allowed homomorphic additions is determined by the ratio of the ciphertext modulus to the upper bound of initial ciphertext noise. Moreover, simulation results show that the proposed scheme is significantly faster than the DM scheme in the homomorphic evaluation for a series of algorithms.

Abstract Evaluating arbitrary functions on encrypted data is one of the holy grails of cryptography, with Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) being probably the most prominent and powerful example. FHE, in its current state is, however, not efficient enough for practical applications. On the other hand, simple homomorphic and somewhat homomorphic approaches are not powerful enough to support arbitrary computations. We propose a new approach towards a practicable system for evaluating functions on encrypted data. Our approach allows to chain an arbitrary number of computations, which makes it more powerful than existing efficient schemes. As with basic FHE we do not encrypt or in any way hide the function, that is evaluated on the encrypted data. It is, however, sufficient that the function description is known only to the evaluator. This situation arises in practice for software as a Software as a Service (SaaS)-scenarios, where an evaluator provides a function only known to him and the user wants to protect his data. Another application might be the analysis of sensitive data, such as medical records. In this paper we restrict ourselves to functions with only one input parameter, which allow arbitrary transformations on encrypted data.

Secure report is the problem of a client that retrieves all records matching specified attributes from a database table at the server (e.g. cloud), as in SQL SELECT queries, but where the query and the database are encrypted. Here, only the client has the secret key, but still the server is expected to compute and return the encrypted result. Secure report is theoretically possible with Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). However, the current state-of-the-art solutions are realized by a polynomial of degree that is at least linear in the number m of records, which is too slow in practice even for very small databases. We present the first solution that is realized by a polynomial that attains degree independent of the number of records m, as well as the first implementation of an FHE solution to Secure report. This is by suggesting a novel paradigm that forges a link between cryptography and modern data summarization techniques known as coresets (core-sets), and sketches in particular. The key idea is to compute only a coreset of the desired report. Since the coreset is small, the client can quickly decode the desired report that the server computes after decrypting the coreset. We implemented our main reporting system in an open source library. This is the first implemented system that can answer such database queries when processing only FHE encrypted data and queries. As our analysis promises, the experimental results show that we can run Secure report queries on billions records in minutes on an Amazon EC2 server, compared to less than a hundred-thousands in previous FHE based solutions.
