Interesting demonstration of homomorphic encryption
From 2 comments
Honestly, I think the potential advent of efficient fully-homomorphic encryption is potentially one of the largest effects we could ever see on privacy-related computing. The…
ReidZB on HNHere's a hypothetical use case for homomorphic encryption, although I think it needs to do a lot more than the linked example if it's actually going to work in this case: There's…

Only supports natural numbers; negatives and decimals unsupported

1 + -1 = 1 Are negative numbers not yet supported? editted to add: Or indeed decimal numbers. Natural numbers only then? Still seems cool even if how it works is a mystery to me.
eterm on HNVery nice observation, and yes, natural numbers only. I believe it could be modified to allow for negative numbers.

Questions
Whether it is fully homomorphic
From 2 comments
By fully-homomorphic do you mean Turing-complete?
cabalamat on HNNo, by fully homomorphic he means the usual meaning of this phrase: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption#Fully_homomorphic_encryption
