It's an announcement that Nigel Smart (well known elliptic curve
researcher) and Frederik Vercauteren (I haven't heard of him before) are
presenting a paper on homomorphic encryption that brings Craig Gentry's
scheme closer to being practical. That is pretty good news for those of
us who like the idea of private information retrieval. On the other
hand maybe it can also be used for DRM ;-).

They indicated though that it's not yet fully practical. Otherwise
it would have solved a major issue of the database people who
as yet have to be content with certain rather unsatisfactory solutions.
