Abstract:

Polynomial multiplication is the basic and most computationally intensive operation in ring-Learning With Errors (ring-LWE) encryption and ``Somewhat" Homomorphic Encryption (SHE) cryptosystems. In this paper, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with a linearithmic complexity of O(n\log n), is exploited in the design of a high-speed polynomial multiplier. A constant geometry FFT datapath is used in the computation to simplify the control of the architecture. The contribution of this work is three-fold. First, parameter sets which support both an efficient modular reduction design and the security requirements for ring-LWE encryption and SHE are provided. Second, a versatile pipelined architecture accompanied with an improved dataflow are proposed to obtain a high-speed polynomial multiplier. Third, the proposed architecture supports polynomial multiplications for different lengths n and moduli p. The experimental results on a Spartan-6 FPGA show that the proposed design results in a speedup of 3.5 times on average when compared with the state of the art. It performs a polynomial multiplication in the ring-LWE scheme (n = 256, p = 1049089) and the SHE scheme (n = 1024, p = 536903681) in only 6.3$\mu$s and 33.1$\mu$s, respectively.
