2. operation(plain) What is that? 2
3. operation(plain) == decrypt(operation'(encrypt(plain))) What is that? 3
4. operation(plain) == decrypt(operation'(encrypt(plain))) i.e. outputs of operations on encrypted data are still usable What is that? 4
5. July 2013: Change in "De-Mail-Gesetz" defining De-Mail as secure [1] • Needs to be decrypted by provider to "check for viruses" • (Secret) key on server of provider ◦ Server becomes juicy target • Homomorphic encryption ◦ Can check without decryption [1] http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/de-mail-bundestag-erklaert-bundes-mail-per-gesetz-als-sicher-a-895361.html Current context 5
6. • Medical records ◦ Analyze disease / treatment without disclosing them ◦ Search for DNA markers without revealing DNA ◦ "Digitale Krankenakte" • Spam filtering ◦ Blacklisting encrypted mails ◦ Third parties can scan your PGP traffic Use cases Doing something without knowing what 6
7. Homomorphism groups (P, ⊕) and (C, ⊗) relation f : P → C f is a group homomorphism in P and C, if: ∀ a,b ∈ P: f(a ⊕ b) = f(a) ⊗ f(b) Especially: ∀ a,b ∈ P: a ⊕ b = f-1( f(a) ⊗ f(b) ) 7
8. be aware, mapping from one operation to another Examples groups (R, +) and (R*, ×) function: R → R exp(x+y) = exp(x) × exp(y) 10x+y = 10x × 10y ln(a×b) = ln(a) + ln(b) 8
9. In RSA, multiplication is (accidentally) a homomorphism Practical example 9

56. Fully homomorphic encryption • "Holy Grail" of cryptography • First proposed within a year of RSA development ◦ 1979 ◦ Idea due to weird homomorphic property of RSA • for more than 30 years: unclear whether FHE even possible ◦ During that time: best one = Boneh-Goh-Nissim (remember the area solver example) (the one where only one multiplication was possible) 56
57. "fully homomorphic encryption" Google trends 1000 patents 200 patents 57
58. Gentry's approach • 2009: Craig Gentry shows fully homomorphic encryption in his doctoral thesis • Employs somewhat homomorphic encryption scheme using ideal lattices • Scheme is bootstrappable ◦ can evaluate its own decryption circuit • Through recursive self-embedding, leads to FHE ◦ ciphertexts are reencrypted, eliminating noise (based on "shortest lattice vector" problem used in cryptography, which is NP-hard) 58
