Technical Expansion: Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) in NovaNet

1. Introduction to FHE Cryptographic Foundations

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is based on advanced lattice-based cryptography, which ensures security against quantum attacks while enabling secure computations on encrypted data.

FHE enables confidential blockchain transactions, privacy-preserving smart contracts, and AI-driven encrypted analytics.

1.1 Key Cryptographic Principles in FHE

• Ring-Learning-With-Errors (RLWE) Problem – Provides post-quantum security.
• Bootstrapping – Enables multiple computations on encrypted data.
• Gentry’s FHE Model – First practical implementation of fully homomorphic encryption.
• Lattice-Based Encryption – Hard to break even with quantum computers.

2. NovaNet’s Quantum-Secure FHE Implementation

2.1 Quantum-Resistant Encryption Model

Let:

• $$Enc(m)$$ be the encryption function applied to message $$m$$.
• $$FHE_{Compute()}$$ be the function that enables computations on encrypted data.

Addition on Encrypted Data:

$$Enc(m_1) + Enc(m_2) = Enc(m_1 + m_2)$$

Multiplication on Encrypted Data:

$$Enc(m_1) \times Enc(m_2) = Enc(m_1 \times m_2)$$

Final Decryption:

$$Dec(Enc(m_1) + Enc(m_2)) = m_1 + m_2$$

4. Optimizing FHE for Quantum-Resistant Blockchain Execution

4.1 Bootstrapping & Key Switching

In traditional FHE, bootstrapping is computationally expensive. NovaNet integrates:

• Noise Reduction Algorithms to prevent ciphertext explosion.
• AI-Optimized Key Switching for fast encrypted computations.

Mathematical Model for FHE Bootstrapping:

$$Enc(m) \xrightarrow[]{Bootstrapping} Enc(m') \approx Enc(m)$$

5. AI-Powered Fully Homomorphic Computation in NovaNet

AI models in NovaNet leverage FHE-secured blockchain computations for:

• AI-Driven Validator Selection on Encrypted Metrics
• Privacy-Preserving Treasury Fund Allocation
• Quantum-Resistant AI Governance & Voting
• Zero-Knowledge AI Staking Pools

5.1 AI-Based Privacy Computation

AI models analyze encrypted blockchain states using FHE-secured computation models.

$$AI_{FHE} = f(Enc(Data)) \Rightarrow Enc(f(Data))$$

This ensures AI can operate on encrypted blockchain data while keeping transactions private.
