Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

UNRELEASED

  • CKKS: Baby-Step Giant-Step Polynomial Evaluation Algorithm (BSGSPEA)
    • Added PolynomialBasis, a struct to generate powers of monomials. This struct can be marshalled.
    • Renamed former PolynomialBasis enumerated type to BasisType.
    • EvaluatePoly and EvaluatePolyVector now both accept pre-computed PolynomialBasis as input in addition to Ciphertext.
    • Fixed correctness error and panic when a non-relinearized ciphertext and a plaintext were given to Mul and MulAndAdd.
    • Fixed automatic-scale matching in BSGS that wasn't reliably ensuring that scales between two ciphertext to be added was the same.
    • Improved BSGSPEA with lazy relinearization and lazy rescaling.
    • Overall the precision of the BSGSPEA is greatly improved and its complexity is reduced. This also improves the precision of the bootstrapping.

[3.0.4] - 2022-04-26

  • CKKS: updated the bootstrapping circuit to use the key-encapsulation mechanism of Bootstrapping for Approximate Homomorphic Encryption with Negligible Failure-Probability by Using Sparse-Secret Encapsulation. The previous bootstrapping circuit can be run by setting EphemeralSecretWeight=0.

  • BFV: added the Evaluator.Rescale and Evaluator.RescaleTo methods to switch BFV ciphertexts to lower levels.

  • BFV: all Evaluator methods on ciphertext support all arithmetic operations at lower levels, but require that operands are at the same level.

  • BFV: the plaintext modulus T can now equal to the level-zero modulus Q[0] (i.e., be a factor of the ciphertext modulus Q).

  • BFV: added the methods NewCiphertextLvl, NewPlaintextLvl, NewPlaintextMulLvl, Evaluator.AddScalar and Evaluator.MulScalarAndAdd.

  • BFV: merged []uint64 and []int64 plaintext encoding methods (e.g. EncodeUint and EncodeInt are replaced by Encode) and added the respective [...]New methods.

  • BFV: added the methods EvaluatePoly and EvaluatePolyVector for homomorphic polynomial evaluation.

  • BFV/RING: moved RNSScaler from ring to bfv.

  • RING: removed deprecated SimpleScaler.

[3.0.2] - 2022-02-21

  • Fixed sparse ternary sampler to properly sample on non-zero poly.

[3.0.1] - 2022-02-21

  • RLWE/CKKS/BFV: added the H field and HammingWeight method in parameters-related structs, to specify distribution of all secrets in the schemes.
  • RLWE/DRLWE: all secrets in the ternary distribution are now sampled with a fixed hamming weight, according to the parameters.
  • CKKS: encoder is now about 3.5x faster (without taking the NTT into account).

  • ALL: renamed the module to github.com/tuneinsight/v3.
  • RING: renamed FastBasisExtender to BasisExtender.
  • RING: .PolyToBigint[...](*) now take as input gap which defines the multiples of X^{i*gap} to reconstruct.
  • RLWE: removed FastEncryptor. Encryption without rescaling by P is now automatically used by Encryptor if no P is specified in the parameters.
  • RLWE: NewAdditiveShareBigint now takes as input the size of the share.
  • RLWE/CKKS/BFV: added .ShallowCopy(), .WithKey() (shallow copy with new key) to Encryptor and Decryptor.
  • BFV/CKKS: added .ShallowCopy() to Encoder and EncoderBigComplex (only CKKS).
  • DRLWE/DCKKS/DBFV: added .ShallowCopy() to all protocols.
  • DLRWE/DCKKS/DBFV: protocols drlwe.CKSProtocol and drlwe.PCKSProtocol and sub-protocols based on these two protocols now only take a polynomial as input for the share generation instead of the full ciphertext.
  • DRLWE/DCKKS/DBFV: uniformized API of share generation and aggregation to .GenShare(*) and .AggregateShare(*).

  • DCKKS: added support for multiparty CKKS over the conjugate invariant ring.
  • DCKKS: fixed MaskedTransformProtocol correctness for sparse plaintexts.

  • BFV: Quantization during multiplication does not use Float128 any more, resulting in a substantial speed improvement.
  • BFV: BatchEncoder has been renamed Encoder.
  • CKKS: The scale is now stored as a float64 instead of a power of 2.
  • CKKS: Rounding is applied instead of flooring when a real value is converted to an integer value. This change affects the rescaling and the encoding.
  • CKKS: Use of one context for all levels, instead of requiring one ring context per level.

  • CKKS (API change): removed ckkscontext from ciphertexts and plaintexts.
  • CKKS: Updated the value logQ in the ckkscontext, which now stores the bit size of the product of the ciphertext's moduli.
  • CKKS: Updated the information printed by the tests to more reflect the parameters.
  • BFV/CKKS: Greatly simplified the code related to the rotations.
  • BFV/CKKS: Reduced the number of instances where an error could be returned and updated information of the returning errors.
  • RING (API change): Changed the API of the validation method of the context to better reflect its purpose.
  • BFV/CKKS/RING: The copy function will now copy the input poly on the target poly (previously the target was copied on the input).
  • Updates on all packages and tests to comply with the API changes in BFV and CKKS.

Removed

  • The evaluator of both BFV and CKKS cannot operate on two plaintexts anymore. They now always return an element of type Ciphertext.
  • The contexts of BFV and CKKS will not store their checksum anymore, nor will the evaluator check for context consistency of the input and output elements.

Fixed

  • Fixed overflow occurring in the basis extension when small and large moduli are used together.
