Are there any widely analyzed implementations that I can use today? Got any links? I'm interested, but I don't think I'd understand without seeing code.
It's a pretty bleak landscape, code-wise. The PALISADE crypto library is an implementation of many of these primitives in C++, but it will be nearly impossible to understand it without reading the papers. I recommend "Trapdoors for Lattices: Simpler, Tighter, Smaller, Faster" [0] and the many papers that build on it. That paper was fairly accessible to a layperson like myself. if you're interested you could play around with it in Sympy or Mathematica.
