Abstract

Instead of immediately encrypting a plain text, a n-bit plain text is first converted to a m-bit of expanded plain text in order to limit the weight of the plain text to w, and that expanded plain text is then encrypted. By first converting the plain text to the expanded plain text wherein the weight has been limited, a smaller modulus can be used, and therefore the rate (or encryption efficiency) rises.
