Abstract

One way of improving efficiency of Gentry's fully homomorphic encryption is controlling the number of operations, but our recollection is that any scheme which controls the bound has not proposed. In this paper, we propose a key generation algorithm for Gentry's homomorphic encryption scheme that controls the bound of the circuit depth by using the relation between the circuit depth and the eigenvalues of a basis of a lattice. We present experimental results that show that the proposed algorithm is practical. We discuss security of the basis of the lattices generated by the algorithm for practical use.
