I / Function

C++ library for computing on encrypted data with fully homomorphic encryption and multiparty extensions.

OpenFHE is a C++ library for building applications that calculate on encrypted values. It implements schemes for integer and approximate real-number arithmetic, Boolean circuits and lookup-table evaluation, with scheme switching for mixed operations. Developers can also use threshold encryption, interactive bootstrapping and proxy re-encryption extensions, supported by API examples and installation instructions for Linux, macOS and Windows.
