This document specifies the following mechanisms for homomorphic encryption.

 

— Exponential ElGamal encryption;

 

— Paillier encryption.

 

For each mechanism, this document specifies the process for:

 

— generating parameters and the keys of the involved entities;

 

— encrypting data;

 

— decrypting encrypted data; and

 

— homomorphically operating on encrypted data.

 

Annex A defines the object identifiers assigned to the mechanisms specified in this document. Annex B provides numerical examples.
