Abstract

See full text

Homomorphic evaluation of a function is performed on input ciphertext(s), which were encrypted using a public key of an encryption scheme that also includes multiple secret keys and multiple integer moduli. The homomorphic evaluation of the function includes performing operations(s) on the input ciphertexts. The function includes operation(s) including one or more of addition, multiplication, and automorphism. A key-switching transformation is performed on selected input ciphertext(s), and includes converting a first version of a selected ciphertext with respect to a first of the multiple secret keys and a first modulus to a second version of the selected ciphertext with respect to a second of the multiple secret keys and a second modulus, where the second modulus is an integer factor p times the first modulus, p>1. Each of the key switching transformations is performed prior to or after the operation(s) are evaluated. Results of the operation(s) are output.
