introduction: hydronephrosis is one of the major causes of referring infants for nuclear medicine investigation. renal dynamic study is the most reliable investigation for such children. however direct evaluation of renogram leads to generation of parameters that have no physiological interpretation. the configuration of renogram is very much dependent upon the rate at which radiopharmaceutical...

Secure computation on encrypted data stored on untrusted clouds is an important goal. Existing secure arithmetic computation techniques, such as fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and somewhat homomorphic encryption (SWH), have prohibitive performance and/or storage costs for the majority of practical applications. In this work, we investigate a new secure arithmetic computation primitive calle...

During the last few years homomorphic encryption techniques have been studied extensively since they have become more and more important in many different cryptographic protocols such as voting protocols, lottery protocols, anonymity, privacy, and electronic auctions. This paper critically summarizes the current state-of-art of homomorphic cryptosystems. It recalls the basic ideas, discusses th...

We show that an encryption scheme cannot have a simple decryption function and be homomorphic at the same time, even with added noise. Specifically, if a scheme can homomorphically evaluate the majority function, then its decryption cannot be weakly-learnable (in particular, linear), even if the probability of decryption error is high. (In contrast, without homomorphism, such schemes do exist a...
