COMPETITION FOR 1 RESEARCH CONTRACT, GROUP 01/INFO-01 INFORMATICS, DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTING SCIENCES, UNIVERSITA’ BOCCONI
Deadline: 31/01/2026
Scientific-Disciplinary Group
01/INFO-01 - Informatics
Description
The SwitchFHE project primarily aims to develop a general modular framework for fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) in a threshold setting, where secret keys are shared among several parties and decryption and auxiliary operations are carried out collaboratively. On top of this framework, the project investigates and designs efficient and provably secure switching mechanisms between different FHE schemes, so that each phase of a computation can run under the scheme best suited to its operations (e.g. linear algebra vs. bit-level logic). The work includes the analysis and description of the threshold model, the security and performance analysis of the proposed protocols, and their implementation in practical libraries for real-world privacy-preserving applications. The research will be carried out in collaboration with other universities and industrial partners, offering opportunities for joint research and technology transfer.
