Abstract
Systems and methods for distributing bootstrapping in homomorphic encryption schemes include: splitting a decryption key into a plurality of n shares; transmitting to each of a plurality of n computer processors: (i) a ciphertext; (ii) a unique share of the plurality of n shares of the decryption key; and (iii) an indication of a publicly available encryption key; receiving, from each of the plurality of n computer processors, n encrypted values; and computing a homomorphic sum of the n encrypted values to obtain an encryption of the sum of n decrypted values, such that bootstrapping of the encryption is distributed.
