Abstract

Much of modern day cryptography deals with the notion of security and efficiency. The main concern with any cryptosystem deals with the practicality of being able to implement any encryption algorithm over large data sets. In this paper, we will look at the various properties of the Learning With Rounding problem (LWR) which comes from the Learning With Errors problem (LWE) first introduced by Oded Regev. We will also present the topic of Homomorphic Encryption (HE) as well as its three variants: Partially Homomorphic Encryption (PHE), Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption (SHE), and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). This paper also highlights SABER, a cryptographic system based on LWR. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the implications of a Homomorphic Encryption scheme based on LWR that may lead to further research on the topic.
