Products that do what LightPHE: Lightweight Partially Homomorphic Encryption for Python does

Homomorphic encryption enables computations to be performed directly on encrypted data without requiring access to the private key. This allows data to be securely stored in the cloud while still being processed using the cloud’s computational power. Meanwhile, the cloud remains unaware of the actual data it is handling. Although fully homomorphic encryption has become available in recent years, when considering performance trade-offs, partially homomorphic encryption proves to be a more efficient and practical choice. It is significantly faster, requires fewer computational resources, and…

    Ncrypt – Query encrypted files privately with FHE▲8

    Hey HN, We're building ncrypt, an open-source encrypted file manager that allows you to store, manage, and privately query your files using fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). This project originally started as a simple SFTP-like CLI for my personal S3 buckets which I used to send and retrieve encrypted files and have more granular control over key rotation. As the number of files that I was storing grew, file discovery started to become a problem, and I found myself frequently having to download and decrypt files to inspect their contents. Rather than leaving them unencrypted in S3 and…

    An idiot-proof crypto library for Python 3 (feedback, please)▲13

    I really couldn't find a simple wrapper to pycrypto that would encrypt data correctly in Python 3. So I tried to follow the instructions at http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2009-06-11-cryptographic-right-answers.html (written by HN's cperciva) and wrote https://github.com/andrewcooke/simple-crypt Is that OK? Given the problems Tarsnap had with CTR mode, was it wrong to follow those instructions anyway? Have I got the offset handling right? It seemed like it would be better to write this once, get it revised here, and then publish it (I'll make an egg for pypi once it seems OK) than quietly…
