And why the hell the government will keep the fingerprints? So that once in 10 years I save 1h. The benefit is minor compared to bad things that can be done with a fingerprints DB (mass surveillance..)

A union is like a democracy, it can be elective where you can naively hope that the elected people will be honest and incorruptible or it can be participative where you must participate in the union in order for it to succeed.

Cingulata automatically chooses secure parameters using https://github.com/CEA-LIST/CinguParam module.

It's a separate project because our intention is to provide an easier/faster way to chose HE parameters than lwe-estimator. You need to provide only the multiplicative depth (or the circuit describing the computation for example) and CinguParam will automatically generate the code snippet/parameter file for the HE scheme you want. Also as CinguParam contains a database of HE parameters the actual parameter generation is really faster than using lwe-estimator. There is a lot of work to be done on this project in order to automatize parameter database update, generate HE parameters more precisely using circuit representation instead of multiplicative depth, take into account HE libraries implementation details (RNS, NTT), etc.

Research paper https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/758 introduces an unified view for HE plaintext spaces. It allows switching between integral, approximate numbers and bit level representations (different HE schemes). But I'm not aware of a HE library implementing this. For the IDASH 2018 competition we have used 2 different libraries (TFHE and CKKS) in the same computation, although the scheme switching procedure was done manually.
