Homomorphic Encryption library or HElib is a free and open-source cross platform software developed by IBM that implements various forms of homomorphic encryption.[1][2]
History[edit]
HElib was primarily developed by Shai Halevi and Victor Shoup, shortly after Craig Gentry was a researcher at IBM, with the initial release being on May 5th 2013.[3]
Features[edit]
The library implements i.a. the Brakerski-Gentry-Vaikuntanathan (BGV) homomorphic encryption scheme, as well as optimizations such as Smart-Vercauteren ciphertext packing techniques.[4]
HElib is written in C++ and uses the NTL mathematical library.
