This document explains how to initialize the configuration and generate keys.
The configuration specifies the selected data types and their custom crypto-parameters. You should only use custom parameters for advanced usage and/or testing.
To create a configuration, use the ConfigBuilder
type. The following example shows the setup using 8-bit unsigned integers with default parameters. Additionally, ensure the integers
feature is enabled, as indicated in the table on this page.
The configuration is initialized by creating a builder with all types deactivated. Then, the integer types with default parameters are activated, for using FheUint8
values.
The generate_keys
command returns a client key and a server key:
Client_key: this key should remain private and never leave the client.
Server_key: this key can be public and sent to a server to enable FHE computations.
