Title:
Homomorphic Encryption based on NTRU

Abstract:

In this talk we first present a brief introduction to fully
homomorphic encryption. The talk proceeds with new implementation
results for the Alt-Lopez, Tromer, Vaikuntanathan (LTV) fully
homomorphic encryption scheme. More specifically, first we discuss the
parameter selection problem for this NTRU variant. Later we discuss
specialized optimizations for our batched LTV implementation. We share
implementation results on a CPU platform and preliminary results for an
ASIC implementation.
