Title:
Feasibility and Infeasibility of Adaptively Secure Fully Homomorphic Encryption
Authors: Jonathan Katz, Aishwarya Thiruvengadam, Hong-Sheng Zhou
Abstract:Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is a form of public-key encryption that enables arbitrary computation over encrypted data. The past few years have seen several realizations of FHE under different assumptions, and FHE has been used as a building block in many cryptographic applications. \emph{Adaptive security} for public-key encryption schemes is an important security notion that was proposed by Canetti et al.\ over 15 years ago. It is intended to ensure security when encryption is used within an interactive protocol, and parties may be \emph{adaptively} corrupted by an adversary during the course of the protocol execution. Due to the extensive applications of FHE to protocol design, it is natural to understand whether adaptively secure FHE is achievable. In this paper we show two contrasting results in this direction. First, we show that adaptive security is \emph{impossible} for FHE satisfying the (standard) \emph{compactness} requirement. On the other hand, we show a construction of adaptively secure FHE that is not compact, but which does achieve circuit privacy.
