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.
