A Successful Subfield Lattice Attack on a Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme

Martha Norberg Hovd

Abstract

We present the application of a known subfield lattice attack on a fully homomorphic encryption scheme based on NTRU. We show that the scheme is vulnerable to the attack due to a particular parameter having to satisfy a derived lower bound. We also show that, due to the structure of the scheme, the attack is successful in all practical instantiations of the scheme.
