Abstract

The homomorphic encryption allows us to operate on encrypted data, making any action less vulnerable to hacking. The implementation of a fully homomorphic cryptosystem has long been impracticable. A breakthrough was achieved only in 2009 thanks to Gentry [C. Gentry, Fully homomorphic encryption using ideal lattices, STOC '09: Proceedings of the forty-first annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing, Association for Computing Machinery, New York, (2009) 169--178.] with his innovative idea of bootstrapping. TFHE is a torus-based fully homomorphic cryptosystem using the bootstrapping technique. This paper aims to present TFHE from an algebraic point of view.
