Job Description

A new field of Privacy Preserving data handling is the Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), which has evolved rapidly the last ten years. Proof of concepts sparked more research efforts, resulting in today’s available, generic, FHE libraries.

The standard approach to process encrypted data content is to first decrypt the data. Decryption needs a secret key and secure handling of the confidential data. Fully Homomorphic Encryption instead enables evaluation of encrypted data, without having to first decrypt the data.

How can this property be used for client devices and cloud servers in the automotive setting?

Proposed solution
The focus in this thesis project is to evaluate threat models concerning FHE in a client/server setting, taking into consideration pros and cons.

We propose the following topics to be covered in the thesis:

  • Study and learn the different available protocols used in FHE
  • Implement one or more of the identified protocols
  • Evaluate and benchmark the performance and maintenance of the implemented protocols
  • Identify and document the Threat Model.

Scope of master thesis project
One or two students completing 30 credits each (20 weeks) partly onsite at the Lund office
