Abstract

This is a system and method for homomorphic encryption comprising: a key generation module configured to generate a secret key, a public key and a bootstrapping key; a private-key encryption module configured to generate a first ciphertext using the secret key; a public-key encryption module configured to generate a second cyphertext using the public key; a private-key decoding module configured to decode a first ciphertext, a second ciphertext and an encrypted analytic result; a homomorphic computational module configured to perform an analytical operation, according to an analytical operation request on the first ciphertext and the second ciphertext without decrypting the first ciphertext and the second ciphertext using the bootstrapping key; and, wherein the encrypted analytical result is provided by the homomorphic computational module and are encrypted with the secret key.
