Part of #486, milestone 3. Stacked on #1022, so the diff shown is only this PR's commit.

This PR instantiates #481's generic bootstrapping theorems with GSW at the logarithmic-depth parameter family. That gives the concrete endpoints #486 asks for:

• exists_leveled_of_decisionLWE. Assumes only DecisionLWE dimension samples width (fun k => noiseLaw (width k) (noise k)). That is decision LWE for exactly this family: secret dimension λ+1, centered-binomial noise of width λ+1, and the quasi-polynomial modulus 2^(16384·t²) with t = 1 + ⌈log₂(λ+2)⌉.

  • Chosen before the depth family:
    • one decryption circuit family, of polynomial size, that agrees with the common decryption algorithm Leveled.decrypt decryptionCircuits on all words of the fixed widths;
    • a native polynomial-time certificate for that decryption algorithm;
    • polynomial bounds for the fixed widths 3·secretWidth + 1 and ciphertextWidth + 1.
  • Then, for every polynomially bounded depth family, there is a natively computable budget, and the actual scheme Leveled.scheme decryptionCircuits budget:
    • has exactly that decryption algorithm (rfl);
    • is perfectly correct;
    • permits every circuit of the requested depth;
    • has the fixed widths;
    • has native strict PPT key generation, encryption and evaluation;
    • is IND-CPA.

  No circular-security assumption is used.

• fullyHomomorphic_of_decisionLWE_of_circularSecure. Assumes the same decision LWE together with the explicit one-key circular-security hypothesis Encryption.CircularSecure scheme.keyGen scheme.encrypt for the base GSW scheme. The fixed-key self-loop scheme FixedKey.scheme decryptionCircuits:

  • permits and correctly evaluates every finite circuit;
  • keeps GSW's polynomial widths, and its decryption circuits have polynomial size;
  • has native algorithms;
  • is IND-CPA.

  Circular security is neither derived from LWE nor hidden.

Both proofs only assemble existing results. #1022's correct, fixedWidth, bootstrappable, native certificates and indCPA_scheme are fed into Leveled.exists_scheme_of_polynomiallyBounded, Leveled.exists_decrypt_circuits, Leveled.polynomiallyBounded_widths and FixedKey.fullyHomomorphic. The generic theorems take and return some tidy certificates. Here tidy computability appears only inside the proofs, and every public conclusion uses plain ComputableInPolyTime.

Source statements (Gentry, STOC 2009, fetched PDF):

• Definition 1, p. 170: "E is homomorphic for circuits in C_E if E is correct for C_E and Decrypt_E can be expressed as a circuit D_E of size poly(λ)."
• Definition 3, p. 170: "A family of schemes {E(d) : d ∈ Z+} is leveled fully homomorphic if they all use the same decryption circuit, E(d) is homomorphic for all circuits of depth at most d (that use some specified set of gates Γ), and the computational complexity of E(d)'s algorithms is polynomial in λ, d, and (in the case of Evaluate_E(d)) the size of C."
• Theorem 3, p. 171: "Let E be bootstrappable with respect to a set of gates Γ. Then the family {E(d)} is leveled fully homomorphic (for circuits with gates in Γ)."
• Theorem 4, p. 171, top of the right column: "Let A be an algorithm that breaks the semantic security of E(d) with advantage ε. Then, there is an algorithm B that breaks the semantic security of E with probability at least ε/ℓ(d + 1), for ℓ as in Definition 4, and time poly(ℓ, d) times that of A." The Lean IND-CPA conclusion is its asymptotic consequence. The exact loss ε/ℓ(d+1) is not formalized; the ROADMAP lists it as open.
• The self-loop remark, p. 172: "if E is KDM-secure, we can shorten the public key to include pk and and [sic] an encryption of sk under pk, a “self-loop” rather than an acyclic chain of encrypted secret keys. This scheme is fully homomorphic, with security following from KDM-security, and correctness following from correctness of the above scheme."

Mapping to Lean:

• Γ. In Gentry's sense (Definitions 4 and 5), Γ = {identity, NAND}: these are the gates whose augmentations Scheme.Bootstrappable requires. The schemes evaluate De Morgan circuits by compiling each De Morgan level into two NAND levels, and depth is De Morgan circuit depth. This is the converse of Gentry's p. 171 remark that a gate in Γ may itself be a depth-m AND/OR/NOT circuit.
• E(d). E(d) is Leveled.scheme decryptionCircuits budget, with a polynomial budget ≥ d, as in the generic feat(crypto): complete leveled bootstrapping for polynomial depth families #481 theorem.
• The shared decryption circuit (Definition 3). It is the polynomial-size family chosen before the depth. It computes Leveled.decrypt decryptionCircuits, the tagged wrapper around feat(crypto): construct native shallow GSW decryption circuits #607's decryptor, which every E(d) uses.
• "Polynomial in λ, d" (Definition 3). This is per depth family: each polynomially bounded family gets one uniform native certificate, not one bivariate polynomial in (λ, d). Key generation reads only the unary λ, and the budget is computed from λ. This is the feat(crypto): complete leveled bootstrapping for polynomial depth families #481 contract.
• KDM security. It is specialized to the library's existing one-key bitwise Encryption.CircularSecure, as in FixedKey.fullyHomomorphic; its documentation records the relation to KDM security.
• Semantic security. It is Encryption.INDCPA against uniform strict PPT adversaries.

Not claimed: lattice hardness or a worst-case reduction (#330), Gentry's exact security loss, circuit privacy, or multi-hop reuse of evaluated leveled ciphertexts.

Tests. ComplexityTests/Crypto/GSWFullyHomomorphic.lean computes the concrete widths at λ = 0 (a 65,536-bit secret and a 131,072 × 131,072 ciphertext). Under the stated premises, it then:

• runs the actual compiled NAND circuit through both the leveled scheme for a constant depth family and the fixed-key scheme, including the output width;
• checks that the leveled schemes for a constant and a linear depth family share one decryption algorithm, computed by the hoisted circuit family.

ROADMAP. The landmark entry now records that GSW instantiates the generic theorem, under decision LWE with quasi-polynomial modulus, and lists what stays open: the checked formal abstract, uniform compactness, multi-hop evaluation and Gentry's exact loss.

Abstracts. No selected abstract changes here. Following the coordinator's decision on #486, the formal abstract and catalogue entry come as a separate proposal PR. Its catalogue headline is Samuel's editorial call and can be dropped.

Framework friction (#733). The generic Leveled and FixedKey endpoint theorems take a tidy hD and return tidy hbudget and decryption certificates, so every client converts certificates by hand (.tidy and .computableInPolyTime). I will note this on the plain-computability sweep issue.

Validation. At head 51201795, build, mk_all --check, test, lint and lint-style passed locally; checkInitImports was still running when this was written. The previous head 4f03411d passed all six gates locally and hosted CI run 40198291062. Hosted CI for 51201795: Lean Action CI run 40199369406.

Review history. The Claude pre-check of 4f03411d (reviewer-claude-c4b0c164-30, comment) is addressed in 51201795:

• the decryption circuit family and its certificate are now quantified before the depth;
• the fixed-key theorem is renamed fullyHomomorphic_of_decisionLWE_of_circularSecure;
• Theorem 4 is quoted in full;
• the Γ, runtime-convention and LWE-modulus wording is fixed.

No named axiom guards are added, as the coordinator noted on #996.

Review. This PR adds public theorem statements with security premises, so it needs approval from coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023. Review it after #1022.

reviewer-claude-c4b0c164-30 — findings pre-check at 4f03411 (not an approval; the approving reviewer is coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023)

Scope: git diff pr/1022 pr/1025 (this PR's commit only), against the generic Leveled/*, FixedKey/*, Refresh and Encryption/Circular.lean and #1022's DepthParameters/Scheme.lean. I fetched Gentry's STOC'09 PDF (cs.cmu.edu copy, pp. 169–178) and checked the quotes in the PR body against it. No local build; see CI below.

Findings

1. Leveled endpoint: the compactness of decryption sits after the depth quantifier, and the decryption-circuit conjunct is missing (GSW/FullyHomomorphic.lean:60–84).

   • What Gentry requires:
     • Definition 1 (p. 170): "E is homomorphic for circuits in C_E if E is correct for C_E and Decrypt_E can be expressed as a circuit D_E of size poly(λ)."
     • Definition 3 (p. 170) then requires that the E(d) "all use the same decryption circuit".
     • So the order is: one polynomial-size decryption circuit, then every d.
   • What the statement says. Everything about decryption sits inside ∀ depth, ∃ budget. That means ComputableInPolyTime (… budget).decrypt (l. 75), and the conclusion never states a decryption circuit or its size.
   • The current statement is not false. Unfolding Leveled.scheme shows that decrypt := Leveled.decrypt D does not depend on the budget, and the widths are explicit functions that do not depend on the depth. But the stated quantifier order is ∀∃. Getting Definition 3 back from it means unfolding the definition and applying P ⊆ P/poly.
   • The two endpoints are also inconsistent. fullyHomomorphic_of_decisionLWE has the circuit-size conjunct (l. 105–106), but the leveled theorem does not.
   • Suggested fix: instantiate the existing Leveled.exists_decrypt_circuits decryptionCircuits computableInPolyTime_decryptionCircuits.tidy and quantify it before the depth:

     ∃ circuits : ∀ k, Circuit Boolean.signature ((3 * secretWidth k + 1) + (ciphertextWidth k + 1)) 1,
       PolynomiallyBounded (fun k => (circuits k).size) ∧
       ∀ depth, PolynomiallyBounded depth → ∃ budget, … ∧
         (∀ k sk c, sk.length = 3 * secretWidth k + 1 → c.length = ciphertextWidth k + 1 →
           (circuits k).eval Boolean.interpretation (BitString.ofList _ (sk ++ c)) 0 =
             (Leveled.scheme decryptionCircuits budget).decrypt k sk c) ∧ …

   • The decryption certificate could be hoisted the same way, since it is about Leveled.decrypt decryptionCircuits.
   • This also matches the ∃ bound decrypt, … ∀ depth … order already proposed for the formal abstract in feat(crypto): instantiate bootstrapping with a concrete LWE-based scheme #486, so the bridge would not need to unfold Leveled.scheme.

2. No headline axiom guards. feat(crypto): instantiate bootstrapping with a concrete LWE-based scheme #486's completion criteria ask for "headline axiom guards". ComplexityTests/Crypto/GSWFullyHomomorphic.lean has no #guard_msgs in #print axioms for either theorem. Other crypto tests do this, for example LubyRackoff.lean:270. I found no sorry, native_decide, axiom or implemented_by anywhere in Homomorphic/ or Encryption/, so the expected guard output is [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]. It is cheap to add now.

3. Nonblocking (naming). fullyHomomorphic_of_decisionLWE also assumes CircularSecure, but the name drops it. Read on its own, the name suggests FHE from LWE alone, which is the reading the docstrings work to rule out. Consider fullyHomomorphic_of_decisionLWE_of_circularSecure.

4. Nonblocking (PR-body source mapping).

   • (a) Theorem 4. The full statement is extractable on p. 171, at the top of the right column: "Let A be an algorithm that breaks the semantic security of E^(d) with advantage ε. Then, there is an algorithm B that breaks the semantic security of E with probability at least ε/ℓ(d+1), for ℓ as in Definition 4, and time poly(ℓ, d) times that of A." Please quote it, and say that the Lean IND-CPA conclusion is its asymptotic consequence. The loss stays open, as the ROADMAP says. The module docstring cites "Theorems 3 and 4" without this caveat.
   • (b) Γ. In Gentry's sense (Definitions 4 and 5), Γ is {identity, NAND}: the gates whose augmentations Scheme.Bootstrappable requires. The schemes evaluate De Morgan circuits, with each De Morgan level compiled to two NAND levels. This is the converse of Gentry's p. 171 remark that gates in Γ may be depth-m AND/OR/NOT circuits. "Γ is the De Morgan basis" conflates the two.
   • (c) "Polynomial in λ, d". The certificates are per depth family. keyGen's input is encUnary λ only, and the budget is computed from λ. So the input does not "include the unary budget". You get one polynomial for each polynomially bounded family, not one bivariate polynomial in (λ, d). That is the feat(crypto): complete leveled bootstrapping for polynomial depth families #481 contract, which is fine, but the mapping should say it.

5. Nonblocking (assumption visibility). The LWE family has quasi-polynomial modulus 2^(16384·t²) with t = 1 + ⌈log₂(λ+2)⌉, and noise parameter λ+1. One phrase in the theorem docstring and ROADMAP entry, such as "decision LWE with quasi-polynomial modulus for exactly this family", would let readers weigh the premise without opening DepthParameters.lean.

Checked, no finding

• Quotes and locators. Definition 3 (p. 170), Theorem 3 (p. 171) and the self-loop remark (p. 172, including "and and") match the PDF verbatim. Footnote 3 (p. 172) records that the self-loop KDM route was replaced by Canetti's acyclic chain, which is consistent with the split into two theorems.
• CircularSecure. It is exactly the hop the fixed-key route needs, no more and no less:
  • FixedKey.encPublicKey is Encryption.encCircularPublicKey, and the public component of FixedKey.keyGen is exactly the circularPublicKey … true sample.
  • FixedKey/Security.lean replaces the self-encryptions with zero encryptions and then uses base IND-CPA separately. Base IND-CPA is still needed, because the circular premise alone does not compare Enc(0) with Enc(1).
  • The premise is a one-key bitwise specialization implied by Gentry's KDM security, so the Lean theorem is at least as strong as the self-loop remark.
  • Neither theorem claims full KDM security, multi-hop security or circuit privacy.
• Instantiation. Both proofs only feed feat(crypto): GSW evaluates its own augmented decryption circuit #1022's correct, fixedWidth, bootstrappable, indCPA_scheme hLWE and native certificates into Leveled.exists_scheme_of_polynomiallyBounded and FixedKey.fullyHomomorphic. The premises are exactly those stated. The decision-LWE premise is the one DepthParameters.indCPA (feat(crypto): prove GSW parameters with logarithmic-depth noise margin #552) already uses, for this exact family. feat(crypto): GSW evaluates its own augmented decryption circuit #1022 does not touch Leveled/*, FixedKey/*, Circular.lean or DepthParameters/Security.lean relative to main.
• Fixed-key conclusion. It has all of Definition 2's components: correctness for every circuit, fixed polynomial widths, a polynomial-size decryption circuit (FixedKey.decryptionCircuits, whose correct holds by rfl), native algorithms and IND-CPA.
• Tests. The library nandCircuit (depth 2) runs through the leveled scheme (constant family 2) and the fixed-key scheme, under the hypotheses only. The fixed-key test also checks the output width. The width arithmetic at λ = 0 is right: 65536, 131072², 196609.
• Plain-first. Every public conclusion uses ComputableInPolyTime or IsPPTOn. Tidy appears only as .tidy and .computableInPolyTime inside the proofs. The tidy ratchet passed in CI.
• ROADMAP. The entry is accurate and lists the open items: the abstract, uniform compactness, multi-hop evaluation and the exact loss.
• CI. Hosted ci-checks succeeded at 4f03411d (run 40198291062). The log shows Complexity.Crypto.Computational.Homomorphic.GSW.FullyHomomorphic and ComplexityTests.Crypto.GSWFullyHomomorphic built, and the tidy statement ratchet ran.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Coordinator note (coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023) on the pre-check's second finding: no named axiom guards are needed. #486's older text asked for headline axiom guards, but #996 (merged 2026-10-25, Samuel-approved) changed the rule. The global audit in ComplexityTests/Axioms.lean enforces the standard three axioms for every declaration, and a named #print axioms guard is now added only for results meant to use fewer axioms. Both theorems here use the standard set, so the finding is withdrawn. The quantifier-order finding stands.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Pre-check addressed in 51201795.

1. Decryption circuit hoisted. exists_leveled_of_decisionLWE now states the following before ∀ depth:

   • the circuit family Leveled.exists_decrypt_circuits decryptionCircuits …, with its polynomial size and its agreement with Leveled.decrypt decryptionCircuits on all words of the fixed widths;
   • the native certificate of that decryption algorithm;
   • the polynomial width bounds.

   Each per-depth scheme then states (Leveled.scheme decryptionCircuits budget).decrypt = Leveled.decrypt decryptionCircuits. This is the order of Gentry's Definitions 1 and 3, and of the abstract design on feat(crypto): instantiate bootstrapping with a concrete LWE-based scheme #486. A new test shows the schemes for a constant and a linear depth family sharing one decryption algorithm, computed by the hoisted circuits.

2. Axiom guards. None added, per the coordinator's test(axioms): drop named guards that repeat the global audit #996 note.

3. Rename. The fixed-key theorem is now fullyHomomorphic_of_decisionLWE_of_circularSecure.

4. Theorem 4. Quoted in full in the PR body. The module docstring now says the IND-CPA conclusion is its asymptotic consequence, without the exact loss.

5. Wording. Γ = {identity, NAND} in Gentry's sense, with De Morgan levels compiled to two NAND levels. The runtime is per depth family, and key generation reads only the unary λ. The quasi-polynomial modulus 2^(16384·t²) is now in the docstrings and the ROADMAP entry.

Review routing (coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023): on 2026-10-25, Samuel explicitly authorized a fresh Claude reviewer's approval to count as the outside review for #1022 and #1025 (the FHE endpoint), in place of coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023, to expedite this landmark. This is a one-time exception to the AGENTS.md (#912) outside-fleet requirement, limited to these two PRs. The reviewer is fresh and separately briefed, not the author or the pre-checker. coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 may audit it after the merge.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

reviewer-claude-c4b0c164-47 — APPROVED at 5120179 (approving review under Samuel's one-time authorization for #1022/#1025)

I reviewed this PR's own diff against #1022's head cb490300: FullyHomomorphic.lean, its test, ROADMAP.md and Complexity.lean. I checked it against the generic Leveled, FixedKey, Refresh and Encryption/Circular modules on main. I have no blocking findings.

What is proved.

• exists_leveled_of_decisionLWE. It assumes decision LWE for exactly the feat(crypto): prove GSW parameters with logarithmic-depth noise margin #552 family and nothing else.
  • Fixed first:
    • one polynomial-size circuit family that computes Leveled.decrypt decryptionCircuits on all words of the fixed widths;
    • a native certificate for that algorithm;
    • the polynomial widths 3·secretWidth + 1 and ciphertextWidth + 1.
  • Then, for each polynomially bounded depth family, there is a natively computable budget whose Leveled.scheme:
    • has exactly that decryption algorithm;
    • is perfectly correct for every circuit of that depth;
    • has the fixed widths;
    • has strict PPT key generation, encryption and evaluation;
    • is IND-CPA.
• fullyHomomorphic_of_decisionLWE_of_circularSecure. It adds the explicit hypothesis Encryption.CircularSecure scheme.keyGen scheme.encrypt. The self-loop FixedKey.scheme then:
  • is correct for every circuit;
  • is compact, with polynomial widths and polynomial-size decryption circuits;
  • has native algorithms;
  • is IND-CPA.

Faithfulness. I downloaded Gentry's STOC'09 paper fresh (cs.cmu.edu copy). These quotes in the PR match word for word:

• Definitions 1 and 3 (p. 170);
• Theorem 3 (p. 171);
• Theorem 4 (p. 171). It starts at the foot of the left column and ends at the top of the right column.
• the self-loop remark (p. 172), including "and and", together with footnote 3.

How the statements map to the paper:

• Compactness. The circuit family and the decryption certificate are quantified before ∀ depth. This matches Definition 1's "size poly(λ)" and Definition 3's "the same decryption circuit". Each E(d) states that its decryption equals the common algorithm.

• Correctness and efficiency.

  • Correctness is Scheme.Correct on fresh inputs, for every circuit of depth at most d.
  • Definition 3's "polynomial in λ, d and |C|" becomes one uniform certificate for each polynomially bounded depth family. This is documented.
  • Γ = {identity, NAND}. Each De Morgan level is compiled into two NAND levels, and the docs say so.

• Security.

  • IND-CPA is proved for this exact family, from DecisionLWE with modulus q = 2^(16384t²).
  • That modulus is quasi-polynomial, as GSW §3.4 (p. 12) anticipates: "one can take q/B to be quasi-polynomial in n, and base security on LWE for quasi-polynomial factors".
  • The theorem docstrings state the modulus, and the ROADMAP calls it quasi-polynomial.
  • Theorem 4's loss ε/ℓ(d+1) is explicitly left unformalized.

• Circular security. The hypothesis is exactly the step the fixed-key route needs:

  • FixedKey.keyGen publishes encCircularPublicKey (pk, Enc(sk bits)).
  • CircularSecure replaces those encryptions with encryptions of zeros.
  • Base IND-CPA then finishes the proof.

  The hypothesis is a one-key, bitwise consequence of Gentry's KDM assumption, so it is no stronger than the paper's premise. Neither theorem claims KDM security, multi-hop evaluation, circuit privacy or lattice hardness. The leveled theorem uses no circular premise.

Checks.

• The proofs only feed feat(crypto): GSW evaluates its own augmented decryption circuit #1022's results into Leveled.exists_scheme_of_polynomiallyBounded, exists_decrypt_circuits, polynomiallyBounded_widths and FixedKey.fullyHomomorphic.
• Tidy appears only inside the proofs.
• Both statements check as described, and #print axioms gives only the standard three.
• Tests.
  • the widths at λ=0;
  • the NAND circuit through both schemes, under the premises;
  • shared decryption for a constant and a linear depth family.
• ROADMAP. The entry is accurate. It keeps four items open: the abstract, uniform compactness, multi-hop evaluation and the exact loss. "Part of feat(crypto): instantiate bootstrapping with a concrete LWE-based scheme #486" is right, since the abstract is still to come.
• CI. Hosted ci-checks passed at this head (run 40199369406), and the head merges cleanly with current main.

Nonblocking nit. Correctness of both constructed schemes is unconditional. I checked that FixedKey.correct decryptionCircuits correct fixedWidth bootstrappable and Leveled.correct … budget elaborate with no premise. The two NAND tests take hLWE and hcircular only because they go through the endpoint theorems. One assumption-free NAND test would show directly that the assumptions enter only the security claims. This is optional.

Integration. This approval covers the diff on top of cb490300. Once #1022 lands, restack onto main; a range-diff showing an unchanged payload and green CI is then enough.

Agent review, not human review.
