A Hybrid Improved Zhou and Wornell’s Inspired Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme for Securing Big Data Computation in Cloud Environment

Abstract The process of performing smart computations in the big data and cloud computing environment is considered to be highly essential in spite of its complexity and cost. The method of Fully Homomorphic encryption is considered to be the effective approach that provides the option of working with the encrypted form of sensitive data in order to preserve high confidentiality that concentrates on deriving benefits from cloud computing capabilities. In this paper, a Hybrid Improved Zhou and Wornell’s inspired Fully Homomorphic Encryption (HIZWFHE) Scheme is proposed for securing big data computation, when they are outsourced to cloud service. This HIZWFHE scheme is potent in encrypting integer vectors that permit the computation of big data represented in the contextual polynomial form in the encrypted form with a bounded degree of limits. This HIZWFHE scheme is determined to be highly applicable and suitable and applicable in cloud big data computation in which the learning process of low dimensional representations is of high concern.

Performing smart computations in a context of cloud computing and big data is highly appreciated today. It allows customers to fully benefit from cloud computing capacities (such as processing or storage) without losing confidentiality of sensitive data. Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is a smart category of encryption schemes that enables working with the data in its encrypted form. It permits us to preserve confidentiality of our sensible data and to benefit from cloud computing capabilities. While FHE is combined with verifiable computation, it offers efficient procedures for outsourcing computations over encrypted data to a remote, but non-trusted, cloud server. The resulting scheme is called Verifiable Fully Homomorphic Encryption (VFHE). Currently, it has been demonstrated by many existing schemes that the theory is feasible but the efficiency needs to be dramatically improved in order to make it usable for real applications. One subtle difficulty is how to efficiently handle the noise. This paper aims to introduce an efficient and symmetric verifiable FHE based on a new mathematic structure that is noise free. In our encryption scheme, the noise is constant and does not depend on homomorphic evaluation of ciphertexts. The homomorphy of our scheme is obtained from simple matrix operations (addition and multiplication). The running time of the multiplication operation of our encryption scheme in a cloud environment has an order of a few milliseconds.

Learning With Errors

As there is a continuous delivery of big data, the researchers are showing interest in the applications of cloud computing concerning privacy, and security. On the other hand, many researchers and experts of cybersecurity have commenced on a quest for improving the data encryption to the models of big data and applications of cloud computing. Since many users of the cloud become public cloud services, confidentiality turns out to be a more compound problem. To solve the confidentiality problem, cloud clients maintain the data on the public cloud. Under this circumstance, Homomorphic Encryption (HE) appears as a probable solution, in which the information of the client is encrypted on the cloud in such a process that it permits few manipulation operations without decryption. The main intent of this paper is to present the systematic review of research papers published in the field of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) over the past 10 years. The encryption scheme is considered full when it consists of plaintext, a ciphertext, a keyspace, an encryption algorithm, and a decryption algorithm. Hence, the review mostly concentrates on reviewing more powerful and recent FHE. The contributions using different algorithms in FHE like Lattice-based, integer-based, Learning With Errors (LWE), Ring Learning With Errors (RLWE), and Nth degree Truncated polynomial Ring Units (NTRU) are also discussed. Finally, it highlights the challenges and gaps to be addressed in modeling and learning about competent, effectual, and vigorous FHE for the cloud sector and pays attention to directions for better future research.

Or Applications

Fully Homomorphic Encryption is used to enhance the security incase of un-trusted systems or applications that deals with sensitive data. Homomorphic encryption enables computation on encrypted data without decryption. Homomorphic encryption prevents sharing of data within the cloud service where data is stored in a public cloud . In Partially Homomorphic Encryption it performs either additive or multiplicative operation, but not both operation can be carried out at a same time. Whereas , in case of Fully Homomorphic Encryption both operations can be carried out at same time. In this model , Enhanced BGV Encryption Technique is used to perform FHE operations on encrypted data and sorting is performed using the encrypted data

Outsourced Databases

Homomorphic encryption is widely used in the scenarios of big data and cloud computing for supporting calculations on ciphertexts without leaking plaintexts. Recently, Li et al. designed a symmetric homomorphic encryption scheme for outsourced databases. Wang et al. proposed a successful key-recovery attack on the homomorphic encryption scheme but required the adversary to know some plaintext/ciphertext pairs. In this paper, we propose a new ciphertext-only attack on the symmetric fully homomorphic encryption scheme. Our attack improves the previous Wang et al.’s attack by eliminating the assumption of known plaintext/ciphertext pairs. We show that the secret key of the user can be recovered by running lattice reduction algorithms twice. Experiments show that the attack successfully and efficiently recovers the secret key of the randomly generated instances with an overwhelming probability.
