Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product for homomorphic computation enables secure computation of determinants of a matrix under Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). According to this disclosure, encrypted data that contains the values of a matrix is received at a server. The matrix is separated into at least a first portion, and a second portion. Each portion is configured as a square. A first data vector of ciphertext is computed for the first portion, and a second data vector of ciphertext is computed for the second portion. Under FHE, determinants of the first and second data vectors are computed as Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) operations to generate a set of results. The set of results are then used to compute a determinant of the matrix. The determinant may then be used for FHE-based analytics.
