I implemented a Paillier encryption library in Clojure a few months back (which I am currently unable to open-source due to an NDA), and in researching it, I was astounded by the elegance of some of these schemes. I really hope that HE research continues and becomes the standard in the near-ish future.<p>Whenever I get a free couple weekends, I want to port IBM's HELib to Clojure, so that I can more easily use it for a Java project.
I worked with Hiyadet, Selcuk, and Abbas last year while I was doing undergraduate research in the Florida International University Cyber Physical Systems Security Lab.<p>Awesome to see their work getting attention! These guys all put in long hours and love what they do.
is one of these used by Numerai ? <a href="https://medium.com/numerai/encrypted-data-for-efficient-markets-fffbe9743ba8" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/numerai/encrypted-data-for-efficient-mark...</a>
I think if anything's going to save us from a generalised AI takeover it's this. Even if encrypting the world doesn't stop them it'll make computation too slow for world domination.
