Also wanted to know if specific knowledge about circuit cryptography was required? As I know of it, but I certainly cannot make my own fully homomorphic cryptosystem, is it more in the steps of the system has already been made, it just needs to be parallelised correctly?
Right; all our crypto is implemented in Tor right now. I'm not sure why you're mentioning homomorphic cryptosystems; we don't need one of those here.
Ohhhh! A colleague points out to me that the term "circuit" is also used in homomorphic encryption. I'm talking about Tor circuits here -- they are a construction using on the Tor network, and don't have anything to do with homomorphic encryption. For more information on them, see https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en and tor-spec.txt
