luxfhe 1.2.0

Python bindings for LuxFHE - Fully Homomorphic Encryption

LuxFHE Python Bindings

Python bindings for the Lux FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) library.

Installation

pip install luxfhe

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• LuxFHE shared library (libluxfhe.so/dylib/dll)

Set the LUXFHE_LIBRARY environment variable to point to the shared library, or install it to a standard location.

Quick Start

from luxfhe import Context, ParamSet

# Create context with 128-bit security
ctx = Context(ParamSet.PN10QP27)

# Generate keys
sk, pk, bsk = ctx.keygen_all()

# Create encryptor, decryptor, evaluator
enc = ctx.encryptor(sk)
dec = ctx.decryptor(sk)
eval = ctx.evaluator(bsk)

# Encrypt boolean values
ct_a = enc.encrypt(True)
ct_b = enc.encrypt(False)

# Perform homomorphic operations
ct_and = eval.and_gate(ct_a, ct_b)
ct_or = eval.or_gate(ct_a, ct_b)
ct_xor = eval.xor_gate(ct_a, ct_b)
ct_not = eval.not_gate(ct_a)

# Decrypt results
print(f"AND(True, False) = {dec.decrypt(ct_and)}")  # False
print(f"OR(True, False)  = {dec.decrypt(ct_or)}")   # True
print(f"XOR(True, False) = {dec.decrypt(ct_xor)}")  # True
print(f"NOT(True)        = {dec.decrypt(ct_not)}")  # False

Parameter Sets

• ParamSet.PN10QP27 - 128-bit security, good performance (recommended)
• ParamSet.PN11QP54 - 128-bit security, higher precision

Gates Available

Basic Gates

• not_gate(ct) - NOT gate
• and_gate(ct1, ct2) - AND gate
• or_gate(ct1, ct2) - OR gate
• xor_gate(ct1, ct2) - XOR gate
• nand_gate(ct1, ct2) - NAND gate
• nor_gate(ct1, ct2) - NOR gate
• xnor_gate(ct1, ct2) - XNOR gate
• mux(sel, ct_true, ct_false) - Multiplexer

Multi-Input Gates

• and3(ct1, ct2, ct3) - 3-input AND
• or3(ct1, ct2, ct3) - 3-input OR
• majority(ct1, ct2, ct3) - Majority (2 of 3)

Integer Operations

# Encrypt bytes
ct_a = enc.encrypt_byte(42)
ct_b = enc.encrypt_byte(10)

# Decrypt
result = dec.decrypt_byte(ct_a)
print(f"Decrypted: {result}")  # 42

Serialization

# Serialize ciphertext
data = ct_a.serialize()

# Save to file
with open("ciphertext.bin", "wb") as f:
    f.write(data)

Error Handling

from luxfhe import LuxFHEError

try:
    # Invalid operation
    enc.encrypt_byte(256)  # Out of range
except LuxFHEError as e:
    print(f"Error {e.code}: {e}")
