DeapSECURE Lesson 5: Cryptography for Privacy-Preserving Computation


This lesson module introduces the homomorphic encryption technique, which is powerful to address concerns around data privacy, when private data has to be shared with other parties for computation purposes.

Here are our objectives for this module:

Prerequisites

  • Basic operation of UNIX shell
  • Basic Python programming skill
  • Basic operation of SLURM job scheduler
