This paper presents a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) scheme based on the ring learning with errors (RLWE) assumption, which is secure under the worst-case hardness of problems on ideal lattices. The scheme is derived from a somewhat homomorphic encryption (SHE) scheme that is both simple to describe and analyze. The SHE scheme is circular secure, meaning it can securely encrypt its own secret key, which is a crucial requirement for achieving full homomorphism. The authors transform the SHE scheme into a fully homomorphic encryption scheme using standard "squashing" and "bootstrapping" techniques introduced by Gentry. The RLWE assumption is reducible to worst-case problems on ideal lattices, allowing the scheme to abstract away the lattice interpretation. The scheme is based on the ring learning with errors (RLWE) assumption, which is a ring counterpart of the learning with errors (LWE) assumption. The RLWE assumption is shown to be reducible to the worst-case hardness of short-vector problems on ideal lattices. The authors also show that their scheme is key dependent message (KDM) secure, meaning it can securely encrypt polynomial functions of its own secret key. The authors demonstrate that their scheme is additive homomorphic, allowing the evaluation of arithmetic functions on encrypted data. They also show that the scheme is multiplicatively homomorphic, allowing the evaluation of multiplicative functions on encrypted data. The authors also show that the scheme can be transformed into a fully homomorphic encryption scheme using Gentry's "bootstrapping" and "squashing" techniques. They also show that the scheme can be transformed into a fully homomorphic encryption scheme using a sparse variant of RLWE. The authors also show that their scheme can be used to construct a private information retrieval (PIR) protocol with almost logarithmic communication complexity and security under worst-case hardness assumptions. They also show that their scheme is secure under the worst-case hardness of approximating shortest vectors on ideal lattices. The authors also show that their scheme is secure under the decisional composite residuosity assumption. The authors also show that their scheme is secure under the subgroup indistinguishability assumption. The authors also show that their scheme is secure under the decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption.
