Some of the newer schemes are much faster. The recent progress feels like deep learning in 2010, right before everyone realized it worked

Does it work, though?

It’s starting to, yes, in particular for machine learning. There is a yearly competition called iDash where people show the performances of their homomorphic schemes. This year should be very interesting
