Their construction relies on two unproven conjectures. In particular the "Extractable Witness Encryption" conjecture is impossible under a reasonable falsifiable assumption: https:…

You could say that. Every time you want to run a computation on your FHE-enabled VPS you would need to upload data proportional to the maximum number of operations in the computati…

Aren't there MASSIVE (read: showstopper) complications when you want to use FHE for "looping" computations? I always thought FHE was only good if you can fully unroll your "fixed-l…

How can a non-linear function even be convex in shape? I assume you mean the whole volume below or above the function and not just the function's surface itself? Also, what about t…
