Multi-key fully homomorphic encryption scheme based on NTRU bootstrapping by ZHENG Junhua, JIANG Hongwei, LIU Rong, LI Yixiu, LI Wen, WENG Jian

“…At present, mainstream multi-key fully homomorphic encryption mainly uses bootstrapping technology to achieve multi-key homomorphic computing of LWE (learning with errors) encrypted ciphertexts. The time efficiency and storage overhead of expanding single-key ciphertexts to multi-key ciphertexts are closely related to the bootstrapping technology, which usually requires a large number of homomorphic evaluation keys and complex operations. …”

Global Competitiveness Potential of U.S. Nuclear Energy Technologies by T. V. Voronin

“…The author concludes that the U.S. nuclear energy technologies have significant potential in terms of strengthening the country’s global competitiveness, which, in particular, became possible thanks to the policy of the last two administrations to subsidize and technologically upgrade the nuclear industry, as well as to develop new markets in Europe and Asia. At the same time, as the author notes, there are still certain capacity constraints, related, in particular, to the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and the transition to cost-effective production of small modular reactors.…”
