BFV’s key switching scheme changes an RLWE ciphertext’s secret key from to . This scheme is essentially RLWE’s key switching scheme with the sign of the term flipped in the encryption and decryption formula. Specifically, this is equivalent to the alternative GLWE version’s (§B-4.4) key switching scheme (§C-5) with as follows:
