Re:A Survey on Homomorphic Encryption Schemes: Theory and Im... by whatidonteven on Wednesday September 06, 2017 @08:43PM (#15188323)
Their construction relies on two unproven conjectures.

In particular the "Extractable Witness Encryption" conjecture is impossible under a reasonable falsifiable assumption: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/8587/dba4ff31e8118e9bd5914a...

Under that assumption, general purpose differing-inputs obfuscation cannot exist.

The way I understand it, FHE being applicable to anything other than "unwrapping a path through a circuit" seems implausible. Any claims of arbitrary encrypted computation should be viewed with the highest dose of skepticism.
