Fully homomorphic encryption allows the evaluation of arbitrary circuits made up of multiple gate types of unbounded depth. In other words, fully homomorphic encryption is the most robust of the three types of homomorphic encryption. FHE can be used in more complicated data security situations and help overcome mobile network challenges.

Le cryptage totalement homomorphe est une forme de schéma de cryptage qui permet d’effectuer des calculs sur les données pendant qu’elles sont cryptées. Son objectif est de permettre des calculs sur un texte crypté de telle sorte qu’il ne soit jamais nécessaire de le décrypter pour les étapes intermédiaires du calcul.

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
  • Communication and Information Management
CONT

Partially homomorphic encryption refers to an encryption scheme that evaluates circuits consisting of only one type of mathematical gate. Examples of mathematical gates are addition and multiplication. While this limits the potential applications, partially homomorphic encryption schemes are relatively easy to design.

Record 4 2024-02-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
  • Communication and Information Management
CONT

Somewhat homomorphic encryption refers to an encryption scheme that can evaluate two types of gates, but only for a subset of circuits. The limit on somewhat homomorphic encryption comes when a ciphertext generates too much noise in the data... Another limit of a somewhat homomorphic encryption scheme is multiplicative depth. Multiplicative depth is the maximum number of multiplications a somewhat homomorphic encryption scheme was built to perform.

English

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
CONT

Typically, a third party can calculate one of the encrypted sum or the encrypted product of two encrypted messages. This is possible due to the fact that the encryption function is a group homomorphism, and thus preserves group operations. This makes homomorphic cryptosystems useful in a wide variety of privacy preserving protocols.

PHR

Fully homomorphic cryptosystem, partially homomorphic cryptosystem.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité des TI
CONT

Notre idée a été de fournir aux prisonniers une garantie du respect de leur vie privée tout en utilisant un cryptosystème homomorphe dont les performances sont acceptables.
