Can you guard against forged outputs? If you give me a program ciphertext and the public keys, I can simply encrypt a bogus answer and hand it back to you...
...but, if you interleave your Brainfuck program with, say, (classical) encryption of a canary constant, then you can check the canary constant when you decrypt the result, and you have high assurance that the computation is genuine - an attacker couldn't distinguish canary operations from real code, though you'd have to scatter the output bytes uniformly in the output. This scheme is a bit like obfuscation inside FHE.
- Is there a more efficient way to securely tamper-proof your results?
- How robust is this (or your own) scheme against a small number of adversarial bit flippings?
(Note that adversaries can mutate arbitrary bits via BlindRotate() in NuFHE/other TLWE schemes, they just can't extract the plaintext value (though they can set it, for example by NANDing.)
