A Python 3 library implementing the Paillier Partially Homomorphic Encryption.
The homomorphic properties of the paillier crypto system are:
- Encrypted numbers can be multiplied by a non encrypted scalar.
- Encrypted numbers can be added together.
- Encrypted numbers can be added to non encrypted scalars.

python setup.py test

gmpy2 is not required to use the library, but is preferred. A pure Python implementation is available but gmpy2 drastically improves performances. As indication on a laptop not dedicated to benchmarking, running the example examples/federated_learning_with_encryption.py provided in the library took: - 4.5s with gmpy2 installed - 35.7s without gmpy2 installed
However, gmpy2 is a requirement to run the tests.
