Let X be an algebraic variety defined over a number field K such that the set of K -rational points X ( K ) is Zariski dense in X . For example, we could take X = P N to be projective space. Let f : X → X be a surjective endomorphism of X defined...

As the title indicates, this talk has two parts. In the first part I will describe the problem that homomorphic encryption is meant to solve, discuss some of the difficulties in creating such systems, and describe some of the (admittedly still slow)...
