    Maybe not anytime soon but eventually...
    What worries me is that this homomorphic system is so much more complicated than encryption as most of us understand it today. I have been able to get a decent grasp of symmetric and asymmetric encryption but the last time I started reading up on homomorphic algorithms, I found myself completely overwhelmed. How would I know that it is truly secure and free from backdoors? (government mandated or otherwise)

    Yeah, cool stuff. But the performance hit is still HUGE.

    A little off the "main" of this thread, but I am starting out on a walk through ChaCha20 because AirVpn is using it and papers have it showing great promise. Just starting out to see what is going to be involved in creating a system disk (LUKS) partition using it. Many crypto's feel it is better and faster than AES. I don't use AES anyway.
