Lattigo: lattice-based multiparty homomorphic encryption library in Go

Lattigo is a Go module that implements Ring-Learning-With-Errors-based homomorphic-encryption primitives and Multiparty-Homomorphic-Encryption-based secure protocols. The library features:

An implementation of the full-RNS BFV and CKKS schemes and their respective multiparty versions.
Comparable performance to state-of-the-art C++ libraries.
Dense-key and sparse-key efficient and high-precision bootstrapping procedures for full-RNS CKKS.
A pure Go implementation that enables cross-platform builds, including WASM compilation for browser clients.

Lattigo is meant to support HE in distributed systems and microservices architectures, for which Go is a common choice thanks to its natural concurrency model and portability.

Library overview

The library exposes the following packages:

lattigo/ring: Modular arithmetic operations for polynomials in the RNS basis, including: RNS basis extension; RNS rescaling; number theoretic transform (NTT); uniform, Gaussian and ternary sampling.
lattigo/bfv: The Full-RNS variant of the Brakerski-Fan-Vercauteren scale-invariant homomorphic encryption scheme. It provides modular arithmetic over the integers.
lattigo/ckks: The Full-RNS variant of the Homomorphic Encryption for Arithmetic for Approximate Numbers (HEAAN, a.k.a. CKKS) scheme. It provides approximate arithmetic over the complex numbers.
lattigo/dbfv and lattigo/dckks: Multiparty (a.k.a. distributed or threshold) versions of the BFV and CKKS schemes that enable secure multiparty computation solutions with secret-shared secret keys.
lattigo/examples: Executable Go programs that demonstrate the use of the Lattigo library. Each subpackage includes test files that further demonstrate the use of Lattigo primitives.
lattigo/utils: Supporting structures and functions.

Versions and Roadmap

This version of Lattigo, (v2.x.x) is meant to be a working prototype. Hence, there will be backward-incompatible changes within this version.

See CHANGELOG.md for the current and past versions.
