Efficiently Processing Complex-Valued Data in Homomorphic Encryption

Carl Bootland, Wouter Castryck, Ilia Iliashenko, and Frederik Vercauteren

Abstract

We introduce a new homomorphic encryption scheme that is natively capable of computing with complex numbers. This is done by generalizing recent work of Chen, Laine, Player and Xia, who modified the Fan-Vercauteren scheme by replacing the integral plaintext modulus $t$ by a linear polynomial $X - b$. Our generalization studies plaintext moduli of the form $X^m + b$. Our construction significantly reduces the noise growth in comparison to the original FV scheme, so much deeper arithmetic circuits can be homomorphically executed.
