Homomorphic Computations in R

Homomorphic computations in R for privacy-preserving applications. Currently only the Paillier Scheme is implemented.

Install this package the usual way in R or via:

library(devtools)
install_github("bnaras/homomorpheR")

Two vignettes are provided:

vignette(package = "homomorpheR")

will list them after installation.

Vignettes in package 'homomorpheR':

introduction            Introduction to Homomorphic Computation
                        (source, html)
homomorphing            MLE using Homomorphic Computation (source,
                        html)

Then view, for example, as follows:

vignette("introduction", package="homomorpheR")

Three examples are provided:

• A quick and easy introduction to homomorphic computations
• An example of Homomorphic Maximum Likelihood Estimation for a Poisson parameter.
• A larger example of Homomorphic Computations for fitting a Stratified Cox Regression model where the data is distributed across sites.

Eventually, as this library becomes industrial strength, it will be incorporated into the computations defined in distcomp.
