clone

Ciphertext Clone

Engine.clone(ciphertext)

Clones a ciphertext.

• Input:
  • Ciphertext
• Output:
  • Ciphertext

from desilofhe import Engine

engine = Engine()
secret_key = engine.create_secret_key()
public_key = engine.create_public_key(secret_key)

message = [1, 2, 3]
ciphertext = engine.encrypt(message, public_key)
cloned = engine.clone(ciphertext)

Plaintext Clone

Engine.clone(plaintext)

Clones a plaintext.

• Input:
  • Plaintext
• Output:
  • Plaintext

from desilofhe import Engine

engine = Engine()

message = [1, 2, 3]
plaintext = engine.encode(message)
cloned = engine.clone(plaintext)

Currently, since all operations in the DESILO FHE library are out-of-place, cloning does not have much significance. However, it is expected to be useful when in-place operations are added in the future.
