Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/478,596, filed on Jul. 17, 2019, which is a national stage application of International Application No. PCT/KR2018/016060, filed on Dec. 7, 2018, which claims priority to Korean Application Nos. 10-2018-0129749 and 10-2017-0173608, filed on Oct. 29, 2018 and Dec. 15, 2017, respectively. The disclosures of these priority applications are incorporated herein in their entireties.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to a terminal device performing homomorphic encryption, a server device processing the ciphertext, methods thereof, and a homomorphic encryption method of adjusting a plaintext space of a ring to a real number space and generating a homomorphic ciphertext with improved computation speed.

BACKGROUND ART

The advancement of electronic and communication technologies has supported a variety of services transceiving data between various devices and utilizing the transceived data. For example, the cloud computing service in which a user stores his or her personal information in a server and utilizes information of the server by using his or her terminal device has been actively used.

In such an environment, it is essential to use security technology to prevent data leakage. Accordingly, the server stores an encrypted data. In this case, it is necessary that encrypted data is decrypted every time the server searches data stored therein or performs a series of operations based on the data, and thus resources and time are wasted.

In addition, when a hacking of a third party is performed while the server performs decryption temporarily for computation, there is a problem that personal information can be easily leaked to the third party.

To resolve this problem, a homomorphic encryption method has been studied. According to a homomorphic encryption, even if a computation is performed in a ciphertext itself without decrypting encrypted information, it is possible to obtain the same result as a value obtained by performing computation of a plaintext and then encrypting the computed plaintext. Accordingly, various computations may be performed in a state that the ciphertext is not decrypted.

However, when an integer computation is performed according to a related-art homomorphic encryption method, there is a problem that the number of bits of the plaintext increases exponentially and the time required for the computation increases significantly. Meanwhile, the related-art homomorphic encryption method has a drawback that an imaginary number part of a plaintext increases in a computation process. For example, since the related-art homomorphic encryption method performs homomorphic encryption of a message in a complex number space, an error is added to the imaginary number part even when a homomorphic encryption of a message of the real number space is performed. If a computation of a homomorphic encryption is repeated, an error of the imaginary number space gradually increases, and when an error of the imaginary number space is significantly increased, a message of a real number part corresponding to an actual message may be damaged in a homomorphic multiplication computation thereafter.

Accordingly, a method capable of improving a computation speed even in the state of a ciphertext and preventing the imaginary number part of the plaintext from being increased in the computation process is demanded.

The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the disclosure.

Expressions of the form “transmit (transfer) from A to B” or “receive from B by A” in this disclosure include transmission (transfer) or reception of another medium in between, and do not just represent direct transmission (transfer) from A to B or direct reception from B by A.

In the description of the disclosure, the order of each step should be understood to be non-limiting, unless the preceding step must be performed logically and temporally before the following step. In other words, except for the exceptional case above, even if the process described in the following step is performed before the process described in the preceding stage, the nature of the invention is not affected and the scope of the right should be defined regardless of the order of the steps. In addition, “A or B” is defined herein to mean not only selectively pointing to either A or B, but also including both A and B. In addition, it is to be understood that the term “comprise” is intended to encompass further including other elements in addition to the elements listed as being included.

Only essential components necessary for explanation of the present invention are described in this disclosure, and components not related to the essence of the present invention are not mentioned. The disclosure should not be construed in an exclusive sense that includes only the recited elements, but should be interpreted in a non-exclusive sense to include other elements as well.

In this specification, the term “value” is defined as a concept including not only a scalar value but also a vector.

The mathematical operation and computation of each step of the disclosure to be described later can be realized by a computer operation by a coding method well known for carrying out the computation or the calculation and/or coding designed according to the disclosure.

The specific formulas described below are exemplarily described in various possible alternatives, and the scope of the disclosure should not be construed as limited to the formulas mentioned in the disclosure.

For convenience of description, the following notations will be used in the disclosure.

a←D: Select element (a) according to distribution (D)

s 1 , s 2 ∈R: Each of s 1 and s 2 is an element of a set R.

Mod(q): Perform a modular computation by an element q.

└.┐: Round up an internal value.

Hereinafter, various embodiments of the disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a network system, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1 , a plurality of terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n , a first server device 200 and a second server device 300 may be connected to each other via a network 10 . The network 10 may be implemented as a wired/wireless communication network, a broadcast communication network, an optical communication network and a cloud network of various types, and the respective devices may be connected in the same manner as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), without any additional medium.

In FIG. 1 , it is illustrated that a plurality of terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n are present. However, a plurality of terminal devices are necessarily used, but one device may be used. For example, the terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n may be implemented as a device of various forms such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer (PC), a game player, a desktop PC, a laptop PC, a home server, and a kiosk, and may be also implemented as a home appliance to which an Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology is applied.

The user may input various information via terminal devices that he or she uses. The input information may be stored in the terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n itself, but may be transmitted to an external device and stored for reasons of storage capacity, security, etc. In FIG. 1 , the first server device 200 may play a role of storing this information, and the second server device 300 may play a role of utilizing some or all of the information stored in the first server device 200 .

The respective terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n may perform homomorphic encryption of the input information, and transmit the homomorphic ciphertext to the first server device 200 . The first server device 200 may store the obtained homomorphic ciphertext without performing decryption.

The second server device 300 may request a result of performing a specific processing of the homomorphic ciphertext to the first server device 200 . The first server device 200 may perform a specific computation according to the request, and then transmit the result to the second server device 300 . For example, in a case that ciphertext ct 1 and ct 2 obtained from the two terminal devices 100 - 1 and 100 - 2 are stored in the first server device 200 , the second server device 300 may request a value obtained by adding information provided from the two terminal devices 100 - 1 and 100 - 2 to the first server device 200 . The first server device 200 may perform a computation to add the two ciphertext, and then transmit the result value (ct 1 +ct 2 ) to the second server device 300 .

The respective terminal devices may include an encryption noise calculated in the process of performing homomorphic encryption, that is, an error. For example, a homomorphic ciphertext generated in the respective terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n may be generated in such a manner that a result value including a message and an error value is restored when decryption is performed using a secret key.

For example, a homomorphic ciphertext generated in the terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n may be generated such that the following property is satisfied when decryption is performed using a secret key.

Dec ( ct,sk )=< ct,sk>=ΔM+e (mod q )  [Mathematical formula 1]

Here, the < and > denote a usual inner product, the ct denotes a ciphertext, the sk denotes a secret key, the M denotes a plaintext message, the e denotes an encryption error value, the Δ denotes a scaling factor, and the q denotes a modulus of a ciphertext. It is necessary that the q is larger than the ΔM which is a result value obtained by multiplying a message by a scaling factor. If an error value e is sufficiently small as compared to the ΔM, the ΔM+e, which is a decryption value of the ciphertext, may be a value that can replace the original message with the same precision in significant numeric computations. From among the decrypted data, the error may be disposed on a lowest bit (LSB) side, and the ΔM may be disposed on a second lowest bit side.

If a size of the message is too small or too large, the size may be adjusted using a scaling factor. When a scaling factor is used, a message in a real number form as well as a message in an integer form may be encrypted, and thus usability can be significantly increased. In addition, by adjusting a size of the message using the scaling factor, a size of a domain where messages are present in the ciphertext after the computation is performed, that is, a size of a valid domain, may be adjusted.

In an embodiment, a ciphertext modulus q may be set in various forms and used. For example, a modulus of a ciphertext may be set as q=Δ L which is an exponentiation of a scaling factor. If the Δ is 2, it may be set as a value such as q=2 10 .

As another example, a ciphertext modulus may be set as a value obtained by multiplying a plurality of different scaling factors. The respective factors may be set as values within similar ranges, that is, values of similar sizes. For example, it may be set such that q=q 1 q 2 q 3 , . . . , q x , where each of the q 1 q 2 q 3 , . . . , q x is of a similar size to the scaling factor Δ, and is set as values that are in a disjoint relationship with each other. When a scaling factor is set in this manner, the entire computation may be divided into a plurality of modulus computations according to a Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT), and thus computation burden can be reduced. In addition, as factors of similar sizes are used, when a rounding process is performed in the steps which will be described later, almost the same result as the result value in the previous example may be obtained.

As described above, the ciphertext generated in the respective terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n may be processed by the first server device 200 , and then transmitted in the form of a ciphertext to the second server device 300 . The second server device 300 may decrypt the obtained ciphertext using a secret key. Since a homomorphic encryption processing has been performed, the decrypted data may be a value such as a result obtained from decrypting the message itself and performing a computation processing of the decrypted message. As a result, it is possible to prevent the risk of leakage to third parties in the intermediate process.

In the embodiment of FIG. 1 , a public key used to perform encryption may be generated by the respective terminal devices, or may be generated in the second server device 300 performing decryption, and then distributed to the respective terminal devices.

A Ring-LWE method may be used in the key generation process. When it is assumed that the second server device 300 generates the key, the second server device 300 may set various parameters and rings. For example, various parameters such as a length of plaintext message bits, a size of the public key and secret key, etc. may be set.

The ring may be expressed as in the mathematical formula as shown below.

R=

q [ x ]/( f ( x ))  [Mathematical formula 2]

The ring refers to a set of polynomials with a predetermined coefficient. For example, the ring refers to a set of n-th polynomials with a coefficient Z q . In the mathematical formula 2, f(x) denotes an n-th polynomial. For example, if n is Φ(N), f(x) denotes an n-th cyclotomic polynomial. (F(x)) denotes an ideal of Z q [x] generated by f(x). An Euler totient function, Φ(N), denotes the number of natural numbers that are disjoint from N and less than N. When Φ N (x) is defined as an n-th cyclotomic polynomial, a ring may be expressed as in the mathematical formula as shown below.

R=

q [ x ]/(Φ N ( x ))  [Mathematical formula 3]

Then, the second server device 300 may calculate a secret key (sk) from the ring.

sk ←(1, s ( x )), s ( x )∈ R   [Mathematical formula 4]

The s(x) denotes a polynomial which is randomly generated with a small coefficient.

The second server device 300 may calculate a first random polynomial (a(x)) from the ring.

The first random polynomial may be expressed as shown below.

a ( x )<− R   [Mathematical formula 5]

In addition, the second server device 300 may extract an error from a discrete Gaussian distribution or a distribution that is within a short statistical distance thereto. An error may be expressed as in the mathematical formula as shown below.

e ( x )←

αq n   [Mathematical formula 6]

When an error is calculated, the second server device 300 may modulate the error with the first random polynomial and the secret key, and calculate a second random polynomial. The second random polynomial may be expressed as shown below.

b ( x )=− a ( x ) s ( x )+ e ( x )(mod q )  [Mathematical formula 7]

Finally, the public key (pk) may be set as shown below, so that the first random polynomial and the second random polynomial are included.

pk =( b ( x ), a ( x ))  [Mathematical formula 8]

The second server device 300 may transmit the generated public key to the respective terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n . The respective terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n may store the obtained public key, and then use the stored public key to perform encryption.

In the example described above, it is described that the second server device 300 generates a public key and a secret key. However, in another example, the respective terminal devices 100 - 1 to 100 - n or another device may generate at least one of a public key or a secret key, and then share it with another device. In addition, the key generation method described above is only an example, and is not limited thereto. A public key and a secret key may be generated in different ways.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a terminal device 100 and a server device 200 , according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the terminal device 100 may include a memory 110 , a processor 120 , and a communicator 130 .

The memory 110 is configured to store an operating system (O/S), various software and data necessary for operating the terminal device 100 . The memory 110 may be a variety of forms such as RAM, ROM, flash memory, HDD, external memory, memory card and the like, and is not limited to any one.

The memory 110 may store a public key, a scaling factor, etc.

The processor 120 is an element for executing a program stored in the memory 110 and performing various calculation operations.

The communicator 130 is a configuration for performing communication with external devices. The communicator 130 may be implemented to support not only wireless communication such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth and NFC, but also wired communication through various wired communication interface.

The processor 120 may reflect a scaling factor in a message to be encrypted, and then encrypt the message using a public key and generate a homomorphic ciphertext. The processor 120 may control the communicator 130 so that the generated homomorphic ciphertext is transmitted to an external device.

The homomorphic ciphertext is generated so that a property as in the mathematical formula 1 as described above is satisfied. For example, the processor 120 may multiply a message to be encrypted, M, by a scaling factor Δ and calculate a ΔM which is an integer or a polynomial of an integer coefficient.

Then, a polynomial v may be randomly determined. The processor 120 may calculate the v from a small distribution (for example, a discrete Gaussian distribution or a distribution similar thereto). The processor 120 may obtain an error e 0 and e 1 from a small error distribution (for example, a discrete Gaussian distribution or a distribution similar thereto). The processor 120 may generate a public key, pk=(b(x), a(x)), and generate a ciphertext using the mathematical formula as shown below.

Ctxt =( v·b ( x )=Δ· M+e 0 ,v·a ( x )+ e 1 )∈ R×R   [Mathematical formula 9]

A message to be encrypted may be received from an external source, or may be input from an input device directly provided in the terminal device 100 or from an input device connected to the terminal device 100 . In addition, a scaling factor may be directly input by a user, or may be provided through another device. For example, in a case that the terminal device 100 includes a touch screen or a key pad, the processor 120 may store data input by the user through the touch screen or the key pad in the memory 110 , and then encrypt the stored data. The generated homomorphic ciphertext may be, when decrypted, restored as a result value of adding an error to a value obtained reflecting a scaling factor in the message. The scaling factor may directly use a value input in advance and set.

The modulus q of the ciphertext mentioned above may be set differently according to embodiments. For example, the processor 120 may set the ciphertext modulus in the form of q=Δ L which is an exponentiation of a scaling factor Δ. As another example, the processor 120 may set the ciphertext modulus as a value obtained by multiplying a plurality of different scaling factors. The processor 120 may store the set ciphertext modulus in the memory 110 . As described above, the respective factors may be in a disjoint relationship with each other within a similar range.

The processor 120 may use an error for encryption of a public key. An error may be calculated from a discrete Gaussian distribution or a distribution that is within a short statistical distance thereto. For example, an error in a form as in the mathematical formula 6 shown above may be calculated. When a message is input, the processor 120 may add an error to a value obtained by multiplying the message by the scaling factor, and then perform encryption using a public key. In this case, an error value obtained when the ciphertext is decryption may be obtained differently from an initial error added when encryption is performed.

Alternatively, encryption may be performed using the public key immediately in a state that the message is multiplied by the scaling factor. In this case, an error obtained in the encryption process may be added to a result value obtained by multiplying the message by the scaling factor.

The processor 120 may generate a length of ciphertext to correspond to a size of the scaling factor.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment, packing may be performed. When a packing is used in the homomorphic encryption, it is possible to encrypt multiple messages to a single ciphertext. In this case, when computation between the respective ciphertext is performed in the first server device 200 , as a result, computation of the multiple messages may be processed in parallel, and thus computation burden is significantly reduced.

In a case that the message is implemented as a plurality of message vectors, the processor 120 may convert the plurality of message vectors into a polynomial in a form that is capable of being encrypted in parallel, and then multiply a scaling factor by the polynomial and perform homomorphic encryption using the public key. Accordingly, a ciphertext generated by packing the plurality of message vectors may be generated.

For example, the processor 120 may utilize the fact that an n-th cyclotomic polynomial Φ N (x) has a different number n=ϕ(N) of roots ζ1, ζ1 , . . . , ζn/2, ζn/2 (primitive N-th roots of unity) within a complex number

. By employing a concept of complex numbers, it is possible to perform homomorphic encryption of a plurality of messages simultaneously which will be described later.

Then, a canonical embedding function may be modified and a packing function (σ) may be calculated. The canonical embedding function is a function that corresponds a polynomial M(x)∈
