Description

Question

Whether CKKS scheme uses FFT

Further Information

Hi all,
Does CKKS scheme in module tenseal make of FFT for accelerating the computation? There is an implementation in sealapi that sets using_fft but no similar functions in tenseal module.

Screenshots

In tests/python/sealapi/test_context.py, using_fft can be verified.

Research direction

Start by reading tests/python/sealapi/test_context.py, where using_fft is exercised, and trace the related CKKS context behavior in TenSEAL. Confirm whether the TenSEAL CKKS path uses FFT and document the answer, including how it relates to the sealapi setting.
