Homomorphic Encryption Based on Lattice Post-Quantum Cryptography

Abstract

As quantum computing technology continues to advance, post-quantum cryptographic methods capable of resisting quantum attacks have emerged as a critical area of focus. Given the potential vulnerability of existing homomorphic encryption methods, such as RSA, ElGamal, and Paillier, to quantum computing attacks, this study proposes a lattice-based post-quantum homomorphic encryption scheme. The approach leverages lattice cryptography to build resilience against quantum threats while enabling practical homomorphic encryption applications. This research provides mathematical proofs and computational examples, alongside a security analysis of the lattice-based post-quantum homomorphic encryption scheme. The findings are intended to serve as a reference for developers of homomorphic encryption applications, such as federated learning systems.
