I implemented a Paillier encryption library in Clojure a few months back (which I am currently unable to open-source due to an NDA), and in researching it, I was astounded by the elegance of some of these schemes. I really hope that HE research continues and becomes the standard in the near-ish future. Whenever I get a free couple weekends, I want to port IBM's HELib to Clojure, so that I can more easily use it for a…

Is it easy to write timing-attack-resistant crypto code in Clojure? Sounds interesting, what company was this for? Thinking of implementing Damgard-Jurik myself sometime.

It was just a proof of concept thing for a hackathon, hardly industry-grade, but was quite fun to write.

The crypto code was quite fun to write in Clojure; literally yesterday I just got permission to open source it.

If you want to play with it, the code is available here: https://github.com/tombert/scudlib

Since I have the ability work on it in my free time, I'll probably add more schemes.

I think if anything's going to save us from a generalised AI takeover it's this. Even if encrypting the world doesn't stop them it'll make computation too slow for world domination.

I'm pretty sure this guy was just making a joke about how slow computations on HE data is and you all are taking him seriously about generalized AI.

I'm glad at least one person got it.
