While standard constructions such as lattice-based key exchange are starting to be deployed in real-world scenarios, the most powerful lattice cryptosystems are still limited to research prototypes. This is due in part to the difficulty of \u003Cem\u003Eimplementing\u003C\/em\u003E, \u003Cem\u003Einstantiating\u003C\/em\u003E, and \u003Cem\u003Eusing \u003C\/em\u003Ethese schemes.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this work we present a collection of tools to facilitate broader use of lattice cryptography by improving accessibility and usability. The foundation of this work is \u0026Lambda;\u2218\u0026lambda;, a general-purpose software framework for lattice cryptography. The \u0026Lambda;\u2218\u0026lambda; library has several features which distinguish it from prior implementations, including \u003Cem\u003Ehigh-level abstractions\u003C\/em\u003E for lattice operations, \u003Cem\u003Eadvanced functionality\u003C\/em\u003E needed for applications like homomorphic encryption, and \u003Cem\u003Esafe interfaces\u003C\/em\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWe also introduce ALCHEMY, a \u003Cem\u003Edomain-specific language\u003C\/em\u003E and \u003Cem\u003Ecompiler \u003C\/em\u003Efor homomorphic computations. In existing implementations of homomorphic encryption, users must manually represent a desired plaintext computation as a much more complex sequence of operations on ciphertexts. ALCHEMY automates most of the steps in this process, which dramatically reduces the expertise needed to use homomorphic encryption.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Simply Safe Lattice Cryptography"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2017-07-19 16:42:14","changed_gmt":"2017-07-21 13:55:39","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-07-26T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2017-07-26T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-07-26T15:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-07-26 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-07-26 19:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-07-26 19:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
