Title:
Fully Composable Homomorphic Encryption
Authors: Daniele Micciancio
Abstract:The traditional definition of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is not composable, i.e., it does not guarantee that evaluating two (or more) homomorphic computations in a sequence produces correct results. We formally define and investigate a stronger notion of homomorphic encryption which we call “fully composable homomorphic encryption”, or “composable FHE”. The definition is both simple and powerful: it does not directly involve the evaluation of multiple functions, and yet it supports the arbitrary composition of homomorphic evaluations. On the technical side, we compare the new definition with other definitions proposed in the past, proving both implications and separations, and show how the “bootstrapping” technique of (Gentry, STOC 2009) can be formalized as a method to transform a (non-composable, circular secure) homomorphic encryption scheme into a fully composable one. We use this formalization of bootstrapping to formulate a number of conjectures and open problems.
