class HEKeyGenerator<Scheme::BFV>

HEKeyGenerator is responsible for generating various keys used in homomorphic encryption, such as secret keys, public keys, relinearization keys, Galois keys, and switch keys.

The HEKeyGenerator class is initialized with encryption parameters and provides methods to generate the keys required for different homomorphic encryption schemes. It helps facilitate the encryption, decryption, and key switching operations.

Additionally, the class supports multiparty computation (MPC) by implementing key generation protocols for collaborative schemes. These include the generation of multiparty public keys, relinearization keys, and Galois keys. The implementation is based on the techniques described in the paper “Multiparty Homomorphic Encryption from

Ring-Learning-With-Errors”.
