A question of the test program main #14

Open jun1015 opened 2 years ago

jun1015 commented 2 years ago

Hello! I test the program in abeams/sealPIR:master. When I set the polynomial modulu N to 2048, the error is
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error what(): keyswitching is not supported by the context

According to the notes, I tried to set the modulus switching chain enc_params.set_coeff_modulus(CoeffModulus::Create(N, {27,27})); The error is: Client: 1/ 2-th decryption layer started. Client: done.

Client: 2/ 2-th decryption layer started. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument' what(): encrypted is not valid for encryption parameters Aborted

What should I do when I set N to 2048?

That fork uses SEAL version 3.7.2. After SEAL 3.6 or so, the minimum poly degree (N) supported for the galois automorphisms (which SealPIR needs to perform the query compression/decompression) is 4096.

So to answer your question, there is nothing you can do when N is 2048. You could use the older version of SealPIR which uses an older version of SEAL that doesn't have this restriction.

Thanks, I got it!

Hello! I found that the old version is faster than the new. I tested them at the same enviroment. Is it normal?

sga001 commented 2 years ago

Yes, the old version is slightly faster because we are using larger security parameters in this version.
