Beyond Controlled Noise: Achieving Symmetric FHE through Dynamic Position Shifting
About
Traditional Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) schemes often suffer from prohibitive computational overhead and complex noise management. In this paper, we propose a novel symmetric FHE through a mechanism of plaintext fragmentation and dynamic interposition. Our approach is built upon a modular encryption foundation, c = mk + rp, which is naturally additive but typically limited by exponential noise growth during multiplication. To resolve this, we introduce an interposition framework where the plaintext is partitioned into multiple fragments across distinct logical positions. We introduce a dual-regulator system to govern the multiplication process; exponent regulators (t_i) redirect the product of fragments to a new target position, preventing the accumulation of secret key exponents, while coefficient regulators (d_i) normalize the resulting scalars. Security is established through a binding mechanism where exponents and coefficients are mutually dependent, shielding the secret key k from algebraic manipulation and substitution attacks.
