Mentioned in the article: because doing it without FHE is risky or illegal due to data privacy laws or IP protection or similar.

I think there's a case to be made that FHE will empower "laundering" responsibility for using cloud resources for evil purposes. But I don't think that will have much to do with high-power computation.

Thanks, fixed!

This is basically what people do with problems like Private Information Retrieval and Private Set Intersection. They use some lightly applied FHE as a subroutine, but otherwise hand-develop a cryptographic protocol for the specific program

Nice article! One minor nitpick: rounding the noisy plaintext is part of decryption (in fact, the hardest part!) and you treat it as part of decoding a plaintext. If rounding were not part of decryption, then one could implement bootstrappi

If you're a programmer, not just struggling with basic arithmetic, I wrote a book: https://pimbook.org that ramps up in complexity.

There was plenty of criticism of that form, by AOC for example, but part of the democratic process is making progress where and when compromise can be found. Later efforts to restrict American companies can use this as precedent and a litmu

It has been removed, along with a dozen others that did similar tricks. I also looked for a prior report and didn't find any for this extension, which suggests to me that the extension has not been reported before. I suggest in the fut

There was a previous one removed a few months ago for malware called HBO Max Watch Party. Was that it? If you have a specific extension id I can file a bug on your behalf. And after reading about the situation internally, I can confirm ther

I'm sure they have thought more about how to prioritize security threats than an anonymous internet commenter.

I was at a conference with some of these folks recently and they stated some glimmer of hope remains for repairing isogeny-based crypto. I guess we'll see.

I work on homomorphic encryption, and there are some rumors circulating that, if this checks out, it will break some of the leading FHE schemes like BFV, where the moduli used are quite large (in the hundreds of bits or even over a thousand

Major systems and big companies like Google are already mid-transition to PQC. So it is alarming.

Google builds all the code in its momnorepo continuously, and the built artifacts are available for the search. Open source tools are never going to incur the cost of actually building all the code it indexes.

I had a different experience. I aimed for what your colleague did, but none of my work was good enough for top tier conferences, so I ended up with neither novel nor top-tier work. So I think both options really depend on what you can deliv

TBH I like both. There's a need for food writing and story telling, and a need to cut through the fluff and get to the main, precise result you need to know. I oscillate between adoring good writing and adoring Erdos' 3-page paper

It's ironic how all the existential risk people warn us with a parable of a "paperclip optimizer" and then turn around and claim we should funnel society's resources into the current wave of AI. And what's it all fo

Part of what delighted me when I ordered my klein bottle was the surprise of the packaging materials. So if you want to be similarly surprised, don't look too closely at the images in this post!

From my understanding this is very much still active research, without any clear wins deployed in production settings.
