+HElib is a software library that implements homomorphic encryption (HE).
+Currently available schemes are the implementations of the
+Brakerski-Gentry-Vaikuntanathan (BGV) scheme with bootstrapping and the
+Approximate Number scheme of Cheon-Kim-Kim-Song (CKKS), along with many
+optimizations to make homomorphic evaluation run faster, focusing mostly
+on effective use of the Smart-Vercauteren ciphertext packing techniques
+and the Gentry-Halevi-Smart optimizations. See this report for a
+description of a few of the algorithms using in this library.
