    Optimized Homomorphic Evaluation of Boolean Functions
    IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems (TCHES)
    We propose a novel TFHE-based homomorphic encryption framework for efficiently evaluating complex Boolean functions. By introducing an intermediate encoding layer and reducing bootstrapping operations, our method significantly improves performance in evaluating Boolean circuits, with practical demonstrations using cryptographic primitives like AES.
