homenc / HElib

HElib is an open-source software library that implements homomorphic encryption. It supports the BGV scheme with bootstrapping and the Approximate Number CKKS scheme. HElib also includes optimizations for efficient homomorphic evaluation, focusing on effective use of ciphertext packing techniques and on the Gentry-Halevi-Smart optimizations.

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this question, but after a course I took where I made use of this library, I'm fascinated and interested in learning more. It's pretty difficult to find a Number Theory course though, or when its available the time slot doesn't work for other required courses.

Could you link materials/resources helpful in self-education of Number Theory with the goal of better understanding the background of Homomorphic Encryption? Thanks for any help!

Shoup's number theory book and eprint will be key resources, I expect. Also, this question should go to a web forum, like crypto.stackexchange.com or quora, instead of on a project issue tracker.

Thank you, and good point on crypto.stackexchange.com, I forgot that was a thing embarrassingly enough!
