We've complained long enough about complexity in code being the barrier to speed. Now it's processing power once again.

I'll take it if we can rely on the security.

What's a use case here? Will this one day make communication more secure? If so, how?

My bet is on digital currency. Your wallet will be able to send and receive from other wallets locally. Not like crypto. No distributed ledger. You will make transactions locally. You can't just alter your balances though because they are encrypted. Not sure how you get data in or out without keys though. FHE will be a part of such currency though.
