Unfortunately the definitions of lattice schemes involve advanced mathematics, and many subtleties arise in their implementation. We propose a software platform that provides a safe, efficient, and general framework for lattice cryptography, and special tools to simplify homomorphic encryption.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESpecifically, we introduce \u039b\u25e6\u03bb, a modular library for lattice cryptography based on the functional language Haskell that can be used to build a wide variety of lattice-based cryptographic primitives, including homomorphic encryption. We also present a \u0022homomorphic compiler\u0022 that automatically translates the description of lattice schemes into homomorphic versions of those schemes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Software Platform for Lattice Cryptography"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2016-01-19 11:47:30","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:15:48","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-01-21T08:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2016-01-21T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-01-21T10:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-01-21 13:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-01-21 15:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-01-21 15:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
