This is one of the most underappreciated points about privacy. It is, in fact, the thing that enables many important and valuable systems and interactions to function as intended.

Obfuscation will definitely improve things, if/when it is ready. But M/N decryption is fundamental to some classes of problem.
If one has the obfuscated program and can arbitrarily replay it, including or omitting inputs as desired, and observing changes in the plaintext output, one can effectively unmask any input.
So for things like private voting, where private inputs aggregate into public output, where the omission of an input proportionally changes the public output, threshold decryption is still fundamental.
Where I do think obfuscation will be tremendously useful is for things like DKG, which typically have O(n²) or worse scaling in FHE. An obfuscated program operating as a trusted dealer could eventually allow for much larger scale committees. The plaintext output of the program is a shared public key, all other outputs are encrypted to each party respectively.

More people should know about the Interfold.
It's basically what I've been yelling at people to build with the MACI ideas ( ethresear.ch/t/minimal-anti-… ) for almost a decade, and now it exists, in a generalized form.
The idea is: a privacy protocol optimized for things like voting (and other use cases eg. secret-ballot auctions). The mechanism generates a threshold encryption key, and people send in their votes onchain, using a ZKP to prove eligibility. An arbitrary computation on the votes gets run inside FHE, and then threshold-decrypted.
From what I can tell (the docs are good docs.theinterfold.com/CRISP/… ), it gets pretty optimal security guarantees:
* Voter anonymity can be made unconditional if eligibility is proven with ZK-SNARKs
* Censorship resistance is guaranteed by ethereum (votes can be posted directly onchain, and there's a proof that all posted votes are taking into account)
* The correctness of the outputted result can be ensured via ZK over FHE
* Liveness and coercion resistance depend on M-of-N honesty; unavoidable given present-day technology
The main limitation is that today "ZK over FHE" is only properly available for additive vote tallying, as it's too expensive for computations that involve multiplication or other more complicated manipulation at the moment. There's work in progress on slashing-based / optimistic computation for such situations.
(And of course ideally in the long term we'd figure out obfuscation so you can get rid of the M-of-N committees😃)

we tend to talk about privacy as a way to withdraw from the world.
but what if it's privacy itself that allows us to participate more fully in it?

Got an idea for Interfold? Bring it to governance!
As ciphernode rewards wrap up, we'd love more community-led proposals. FOLD tokenomics, fee distribution, liquidity, and protocol revenue are already being discussed.
What else should we explore?

The final epoch of Interfold's Ciphernode Rewards Program ends Wednesday.
Already operating? Make sure your node remains active and meets the eligibility requirements.
Getting started? Review the setup guide ↓ docs.theinterfold.com/operat…
Five epochs distributed. One to go.
7.2M $FOLD in rewards has been distributed to Genesis ciphernode operators.
The final and largest epoch is underway, with another 4.8M FOLD allocated through Nov 11.
Want to run a ciphernode? Here's how ↓
