Multiparty Homomorphic Encryption: from Theory to Practice

Christian Vincent Mouchet

Multiparty homomorphic encryption (MHE) enables a group of parties to encrypt data in a way that (i) enables the evaluation of functions directly over its ciphertexts and (ii) enforces a joint cryptographic access-control over the underlying data. By exten ...
