• First learning objective. (FIXME)

Free/Open-Source Homomorphic Encryption Libraries

The following is an incomplete list of software libraries (toolboxes) that can be used to perform computation with HE.

• Microsoft SEAL (alternate link: http://sealcrypto.org) — an implementation of fully homomorphic encryption. The implementation is in C++; there is also an interface to C#.

  • Github resources: https://github.com/Microsoft/SEAL

• PALISADE — annother implementation of fully homomorphic encryption. The implementation is written in C++11.

  • Github resources: https://git.njit.edu/palisade/PALISADE

• HElib — IBM’s implementation of fully homomorphic encryption. The implementation is written in C.

  • Github resources: https://github.com/shaih/HElib

  • A blog article: “2 + 3” Using HElib

Key Points

• Some implementations of FHE include Microsoft SEAL, PALISADE, and IBM
