Partially homomorphic encryption (PHE) + Sparse Learning Parity with Noise ⇒ Somewhat homomorphic encryption (SHE)

Partially homomorphic encryption (PHE) together with Sparse Learning Parity with Noise implies Somewhat homomorphic encryption (SHE).

Statement

Migrated verbatim from learning-parity-with-noise § Known results:

Notes

class: unstated: no citing page says which notion of reduction is meant. Recording a class the wiki does not state would add a claim.

Recorded during migration and not fixed — these are claims about the source text, not changes to it:

  • GENUINELY CONJUNCTIVE: both hypotheses are needed together, and this is the only sub-edge the page actually asserts.
  • COLLIDING IDENTIFIERS: linearly-homomorphic-pke and somewhat-homomorphic-encryption have no pages, and the page wikilinks both to homomorphic-encryption, collapsing hypothesis and conclusion onto the same node.
  • sparse-lpn has no page of its own; it is a variation section inside learning-parity-with-noise.
  • Genuinely conjunctive: needs sparse LPN AND a linearly homomorphic PKE together.
  • The parenthetical (e.g., based on DDH or DCR) is a disjunction over instantiations of the second hypothesis — it expands into two further conjunctive reductions.
  • COLLIDING IDENTIFIERS: hypothesis and conclusion both wikilink to homomorphic-encryption ([[homomorphic-encryption|linearly homomorphic PKE]] and [[homomorphic-encryption|Somewhat Homomorphic Encryption]]); the data model cannot distinguish linearly homomorphic from somewhat homomorphic without sub-objects.
  • SPLIT VERDICT over-split: The page states ONE conjunctive theorem (sparse LPN plus any linearly homomorphic PKE yields SHE); the parenthetical ‘(e.g., based on DDH or DCR)’ is an illustrative instantiation of the second hypothesis, so sub-edges 1 and 2 duplicate sub-edge 0 rather than decomposing it.
