Hi Craig,
Thanks for the article, I gained a lot from it.
At the end of the article you mention writing a new article which includes your code and insights about it. Is this new article available?

HI Craig,

This is indeed a very nice article . I am doing research on Gentry’s scheme and the Math Primer you have posted might be really helpful too since the protocol is a lil complicated to understand.

I’d like to say thank you for this nice article and I’d like to know, if there is any problems with the link "Continue reading.." or is just my mystake that I can’t get in there?

Response: Sorry; the link was broken. I fixed it. Thanks for mentioning it!

Imagine the benefits that we can get if such fully homomorphic systems trully exist while being practically efficient to implement and use. Imagine how this boost the cloud computing in the market since now more companies can rely on outsourcing their data, doing all different types of data aggregation and computations on the encrypted data, without having to worry about their privacy !! Amazing.. As if you can have your own crypto processor running under your fingertip.. I wish Bruce Schneier can talk more about the security aspects of this new and leave the practicallity issues to be resolved later.

Thank you, Robert. My next post on this subject, which I hope to have up next week, will be an introduction to the mathematics used in Gentry’s scheme, and I should be able to examine the circuits approach to algorithms more precisely then.

Thanks again for pointing this out.
