Homomorphic-Encryption-Decryption-with-Strings

This repository contains an updated version of the original code by Mădălina Bolboceanu (@mbolboceanu), Miruna Roșca (@MirunaRosca), and Radu Țițiu (@rtitiu).

Overview

This code demonstrates an updated version of a homomorphic encryption/decryption scheme. It allows you to perform operations on encrypted data while preserving privacy.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher is required.
• Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed. You can install them using pip and the requirements.txt file.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/CodeByAidan/Homomorphic-Encryption-Decryption-with-Strings.git
   cd Homomorphic-Encryption-Decryption-with-Strings

2. Install the required dependencies using the provided requirements.txt:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the main.py script to see an example usage of the updated homomorphic encryption/decryption scheme:

python main.py

The script demonstrates encryption, decryption, and operations on encrypted data using the "updated scheme".

API

Dockerfile (Two Commands!)

Go to api/ folder, open up Docker Desktop. Then build the Dockerfile image into a container:

cd api/
docker build -t homomorphic-encryption-api .

Then run it!

docker run homomorphic-encryption-api:latest

Sockets - Python (Two Commands!)

Go to api/ folder (in 2 different terminals), on one run the server.py:

cd api/
python server.py

Then on the other run the client.py:

python client.py
