Reactive Correctness, sINDCPA-D-Security and Deterministic Evaluation for TFHE

Abstract

We examine the relationship between correctness definitions for Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and the associated security definitions. We show that reactive notions of correctness imply INDCPA-D and sINDCPA-D security. But that to obtain both INDCPA-D and sINDCPA-D security we need to use a randomized version of the evaluation procedure. Such randomized evaluation procedures cause problems in real life deployments of FHE solutions, so we then go on to show how one can de-randomize the evaluation procedure and still obtain sINDCPA-D security in the random oracle model for the specific FHE scheme of TFHE.
