If anyone is interested in playing with Fully Homomorphic Encryption, we (NuCypher YC S16) built NuFHE (https://github.com/nucypher/nufhe/). It's written in Python and has excellent documentation, so you can try building some circuits and playing around with it. It requires a GPU to run, but it's also the fastest implementation of FHE in the world (that I know of).

Let me know what you think! :)

Is there some kind of interoperability with other libraries? Or does it support CPU encryption / decryption ? For example, one can expect clouds to have GPUs to perform computations but encryption and decryption are typically done by clients on various devices where portable code is expected.
This is mostly a research library, so we haven't put our limited effort into CPU operations yet, but it's definitely possible if someone wanted to take the time to expose it in the library.
