abstract: A reference implementation of homomorphic encryption schemes. These are
  encryption schemes which allow limited operations (such as addition and multiplication)
  to be performed on the cipher text directly without decrypting first. In other words,
  if you encrypt the values 2 and 3 and "add" their cipher texts then decrypting renders
  5. At present, the scheme of Fan and Vercauteren (2012) <https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/144>
  is provided. This package was originally named HomomorphicEncryption and available
  in source form. It is the package described in Aslett et al. (2015) <arXiv:1508.06574>,
  but due to a name collision created by a later package we have renamed to fhe.
