And a good overview of HE compilers/libraries https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.07078.pdf
IBM should be an important stakeholder in Algorand foundation...
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.
