Great work! This allows to perform arbitrary computation on untrusted devices.

However last time I checked computation in this scheme is ridiculously slow: on modern machines, cutting edge implementation of FHE manage to get around 100 integer operations per second.

Never the less there have been some brave startups trying to commercialise this technology:

Other interesting things build on top of FHE:

sql database where data and queries are fully encrypted: https://github.com/zerodb/zerodb

fully encripted brainfuck vm: https://github.com/f-prime/arcanevm
