Homomorphic encryption is extremely inefficient. Is there any reason to believe this will improve enough for it to be widely used?

- bawolff 4y agoIn 100 years? Yeah there is plenty of reason to think its possible that much of the overhead would be gone. Anything can happen in 100 years, and even in the near term lots of progress is being made (albeit we are still far off from practicality) The more fundamental limit is probably that you can't do lots of the tricks that make normal programs efficient. You can't exit early or have data dependent branches.
