Eq, PartialEq and Hash for integer types

Zama TFHE-rs

After attempting to use an FheUint8 as a std::collections::HashMap key, I see that Eq, PartialEq and Hash aren’t implemented for integer types.

Out of curiosity, is the reason related to security, non-determinism or just design choices?

Thanks!

Hello @Vishakh

For security reasons an encryption of a value is essentially never the same two times in a row, using the traits you mention will likely not have the effect you would expect when compared to e.g. a u8
