Balancing Privacy and Efficiency: Music Information Retrieval via Additive Homomorphic Encryption

William Zerong Wang, Dongfang Zhao

Modern music retrieval runs on vector embeddings, and once these embeddings are shared for search or matching they can be copied, probed, or used to train generative models. Fully…

Compile-Time Fully Homomorphic Encryption of Vectors: Eliminating Online Encryption via Algebraic Basis Synthesis

Dongfang Zhao

We propose a framework for compile-time ciphertext synthesis in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) systems, where ciphertexts are constructed from precomputed encrypted basis vecto…

A Note on Efficient Privacy-Preserving Similarity Search for Encrypted Vectors

Dongfang Zhao

Traditional approaches to vector similarity search over encrypted data rely on fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to enable computation without decryption. However, the substantial…
