Fully Homomorphic Encryption and the Dawn of A Truly Private Internet:

● Data breaches are almost unavoidable.

● The only way to protect data is to keep it always encrypted on servers, without the servers having the ability to decrypt.

● This means data should be encrypted even when computations are performed on it.

● FHE enables computation on encrypted data.

● FHE is not practical yet for many applications because of its high computational overhead. But it's practical for some.

● FHE algorithms are getting better each year, by 8x per year. The result is that feasible real-world applications are on the increase. FHE is eating computation, but it is still small.

● If the trend continues, FHE will conquer many more real-world use cases to the point that most cloud computations can be done with FHE.
