Thanks for your explanation. When I read [1]:

> A cryptosystem that supports arbitrary computation on ciphertexts is known as fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). Such a scheme enables the construction of programs for any desirable functionality, which can be run on encrypted inputs to produce an encryption of the result

I thought that meant the program itself could be fully encrypted, but after a second look it seems that it is just the inputs that are encrypted. Still, other areas of the wiki talk about support for boolean gates and even arbitrary gates. I don't know what to think, but it is motivating me to revisit coding theory :-)
