Lots of very interesting information security tech.
Fully homomorphic encryption would be revolutionary, but the performance isn't acceptable at the moment. As soon as it became acceptable it would be adopted swiftly in many domains.
Until then, fully encrypted memory will help prevent a lot of future attacks like Spectre, Meltdown, Heartbleed, and ShellShock. Intel and AMD both seem dedicated to implementing this.
ECC memory would need to become universal to prevent RowHammer style vulnerabilities. Would love to see that take off, and included as a mandatory part of a future DDR6. No prediction as to whether that will actually happen, and the market segment that cares the most has already had it since forever.
