What is the difference between the Fully Homomorphic BFV and BGV schemes?

cn flag

When I read about BFV or BGV, they all look similar: they use polynomials from $\mathbb{Z}[X]/X^n+1$ as secret keys/pubic keys, etc.

What is the main difference?

The encryption/decryption functions are different, the message is encoded in the lower order bits for BGV and the higher order bits for BFV. This causes other aspects of the scheme to be a bit different like noise management and bootstrapping, but the idea remains the same.

Nevertheless, these two schemes are very similar and the ciphertext can be converted from one to the other (see Appendix A of https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/204.pdf).

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
