In 2012 Brakerski published a paper at the Annual Cryptology Conference "Fully homomorphic encryption without modulus switching from classical GapSVP Authors", this formed the basis of the Brakerski-Gentry-Vaikuntanathan (BGV) - for which they were jointly awarded the Gödel Prize - and BFV Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) schema. The two dominant second-generation FHE schema.
