Abstract

A computer-implemented method comprising: generating, from a key-seed associated with a user, a set of homomorphic encryption (HE) keys associated with an HE scheme; receiving, from a key management system (KMS) associated with said HE scheme, an encrypted version of said key-seed; storing said encrypted version of said key-seed, and said set of HE keys, in an untrusted storage location; and at a decryption stage, decrypting an encrypted computation result generated using said HE scheme, by: (i) recalling, from said untrusted storage location, said encrypted version of said key-seed, (ii) providing said encrypted version of said key-seed to said KMS, to obtain a decrypted version of said key-seed s associated with said user, (iii) generating, from said received decrypted version of said key-seed, a secret HE key associated with said HE scheme, and (iv) using said secret HE key to decrypt said encrypted computation result.
