How many orders of magnitude slower is this?

author shows a program that adds two integers and takes 7 seconds to run, and the way the system processes data results in 20000x the RAM usage

So similar to your average electron app.

Turns out Electron is SUPER SECURE

Curious if there's tooling to de/serialize the encryption context?

The examples aren't very useful to demonstrate "real" homomorphic encryption in the sense that it takes in plaintext directly; encrypt and transforms; then decrypts - I'd love to see a snub that takes encrypted input (only) and returns ciphertext of the result - that can then be decrypted on a client node provided the correct key?

Or is this supposed to be only proof of concept?

Cool stuff, either way.
