Abstract

In this article, we delve into the domain of fully homomorphic encryption over the torus, focusing on the algebraic techniques required for managing polynomials within cyclotomic rings defined by prime power indices. Our study encompasses essential operations, such as modulo reduction, efficient homomorphic evaluation of trace operators, blind extraction, and the blind rotation pivotal to the bootstrapping process, all redefined within this mathematical context. Through the extensive application of duality theory and trace operators in general cyclotomic rings or fields, we systematize and enhance these operations, introducing a simplified formulation of bootstrapping alongside an effective packing strategy. This investigation serves as an initial step toward addressing the broader case of composite cyclotomic indices, which we expect will open up new avenues for cryptographic applications and functionalities.
