In this paper we provide a survey of various libraries for homomorphic encryption. We describe key features and trade-offs that should be considered while choosing the right approach for secure computation. We then present a comparison of six commonly available Homomorphic Encryption libraries - SEAL, HElib, TFHE, Paillier, ELGamal and RSA across these identified features. Support for different languages and real-life applications are also elucidated.

Federated Learning: An approach with Hybrid Homomorphic Encryption
cs.CR 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

Pairing the PASTA stream cipher with BFV homomorphic encryption in federated learning cuts client upload by about 2000x and keeps MNIST accuracy within 1.3% of plaintext, but makes server aggregation roughly 15,000x m...
