In summary, if you are looking to understand Gentry's Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme, it is recommended to start with a basic introduction to cryptography and then move on to more advanced topics such as homomorphic encryption. There are many online resources and books available for this purpose, and attending a formal course or conference can also be beneficial.

Hi everyone, :)

I am trying to understand how Gentry's Fully Homomorphic encryption scheme. However I think I lack background knowledge to understand it perfectly. Does anybody have any recommendations to what a good starting point might be to understand this crypto system?

I would recommend starting with a basic introduction to cryptography and then working your way up to homomorphic encryption. You can find many tutorials and explanations online that discuss the basics of cryptography and then move on to the more advanced topics such as homomorphic encryption. Additionally, there are some great books out there that go into the details of homomorphic encryption, such as "Introduction to Modern Cryptography" by Jonathan Katz and Yehuda Lindell. Finally, you could also look into taking a formal course on cryptography or attending a conference or workshop on the subject to gain a better understanding of Gentry's Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme.
 

FAQ: Book/Article Recommendations - Fully Homomorphic Encryption

What is Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)?

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is a type of encryption that allows for computations to be performed on encrypted data without the need for decryption. This means that data can be kept private even while being processed by third parties. FHE is considered to be the holy grail of encryption and has many potential applications in fields such as data privacy and cloud computing.

How does FHE differ from other types of encryption?

FHE differs from other types of encryption in that it allows for data to be processed in its encrypted form, whereas other types of encryption require data to be decrypted before it can be processed. This means that with FHE, data can remain fully encrypted and secure throughout the entire computation process.

What are the potential applications of FHE?

FHE has many potential applications in fields such as data privacy, cloud computing, and machine learning. It can be used to securely process sensitive data without the need for decryption, making it ideal for applications that require high levels of privacy and security.

What are the challenges of implementing FHE?

There are several challenges to implementing FHE, including the high computational complexity of FHE algorithms, which can result in slow processing speeds. Additionally, FHE is not yet as widely studied and implemented as other types of encryption, so there may be a lack of resources and expertise available for its implementation.

Are there any existing FHE libraries or tools available for use?

Yes, there are currently several FHE libraries and tools available for use, including Microsoft SEAL, HElib, and PALISADE. These libraries provide a variety of FHE capabilities and can be used for both research and practical applications.
