Title:
PARMESAN: Parallel ARithMEticS over ENcrypted data

Authors: Jakub Klemsa, Melek Önen

Abstract:

Fully Homomorphic Encryption enables the evaluation of an arbitrary computable function over encrypted data. Among all such functions, particular interest goes for integer arithmetics. In this paper, we present a bundle of methods for fast arithmetic operations over encrypted data: addition/subtraction, multiplication, and some of their special cases. On top of that, we propose techniques for signum, maximum, and rounding. All methods are specifically tailored for computations with data encrypted with the TFHE scheme (Chillotti et al., Asiacrypt '16) and we mainly focus on parallelization of non-linear homomorphic operations, which are the most expensive ones. This way, evaluation times can be reduced significantly, provided that sufficient parallel resources are available. We implement all presented methods in the Parmesan Library and we provide an experimental evaluation. Compared to integer arithmetics of the Concrete Library, we achieve considerable speedups for all comparable operations. Major speedups are achieved for the multiplication of an encrypted integer by a cleartext one, where we employ special addition-subtraction chains, which save a vast amount of homomorphic operations.
