Abstract(in English) This paper describes how to improve the efficiency of Homomorphic Encryption for Stochastic Computing (HESC) and its performance evaluation. HESC is a cryptographic scheme that can compute stochastic operations called stochastic computing on encrypted data. This scheme can evaluate both stochastic addition and multiplication using a homomorphic encryption which can evaluate either addition or multiplication operation. On the other hand, the size of ciphertexts increases as a trade-off for the accuracy of the evaluation result, and therefore reducing the size of ciphertexts has been an issue for applications with high-order operations. In this paper, we propose a technique that can reduce the size of ciphertexts while keeping the accuracy of the scheme. Then, we show the applications of HESC to secure computation of polynomial functions and to secure inference with a neural network. Through the evaluation results, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the improved HESC in terms of accuracy and execution time.
