Google's fully homomorphic encryption package

The Google Developers Blog has thisannouncement describing the release of a fullyhomomorphic encryption project under the Apache license."With FHE, encrypted data can travel across the Internet to a server,where it can be processed without being decrypted. Google's transpiler willenable developers to write code for any type of basic computation such assimple string processing or math, and run it on encrypted data. Thetranspiler will transform that code into a version that can run onencrypted data. This then allows developers to create new programmingapplications that don't need unencrypted data." See thiswhite paper for more details on how it all works.
