Secure and Efficient Regression Analysis Using a Hybrid Cryptographic Framework: Development and Evaluation
Bootstrapping for approximate homomorphic encryption
This paper extends the leveled homomorphic encryption scheme for an approximate arithmetic of Cheon et al. (ASIACRYPT 2017) to a fully homomorphic encryption, i.e.,we propose a new technique to refresh low-level ciphertexts based on Gentry??????s bootstrapping procedure. The modular reduction operation is the main bottleneck in the homomorphic evaluation of the decryption circuit. We exploit a scaled sine function as an approximation of the modular reduction operation and present an efficient evaluation strategy. Our method requires only one homomorphic multiplication for each of iterations and so the total computation cost grows linearly with the depth of the decryption circuit. We also show how to recrypt packed ciphertexts on the RLWE construction with an open-source implementation. For example, it takes 139.8s to refresh a ciphertext that encrypts 128numbers with 12bits of precision, yielding an amortized rate of 1.1seconds per slot. ?
