AI Thread Summary
To understand Gentry's Fully Homomorphic Encryption scheme, it's essential to start with a foundational knowledge of cryptography. Numerous online tutorials and resources are available that cover basic cryptographic concepts before advancing to homomorphic encryption. Recommended literature includes "Introduction to Modern Cryptography" by Jonathan Katz and Yehuda Lindell, which provides detailed insights into the subject. Additionally, pursuing formal courses or attending workshops and conferences focused on cryptography can significantly enhance comprehension of Gentry's work and its implications in the field.

Hi everyone, :)

I am trying to understand how Gentry's Fully Homomorphic encryption scheme. However I think I lack background knowledge to understand it perfectly. Does anybody have any recommendations to what a good starting point might be to understand this crypto system?

I would recommend starting with a basic introduction to cryptography and then working your way up to homomorphic encryption. You can find many tutorials and explanations online that discuss the basics of cryptography and then move on to the more advanced topics such as homomorphic encryption. Additionally, there are some great books out there that go into the details of homomorphic encryption, such as "Introduction to Modern Cryptography" by Jonathan Katz and Yehuda Lindell. Finally, you could also look into taking a formal course on cryptography or attending a conference or workshop on the subject to gain a better understanding of Gentry's Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme.
 
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
