About OpenFHE-rs

☀️ OpenFHE-rs is a joint project by FairMath & OpenFHE.

🔔 Keep in mind that the library is WIP and may contain some unpolished interfaces. If you encounter any issues or have any suggestions, feel free to ping us on our Discord server or open a new issue in the GitHub repository.

---

OpenFHE-rs is a Rust interface for the OpenFHE library, which is renowned for its comprehensive suite of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) schemes, all implemented in C++. By providing a Rust wrapper for OpenFHE, we aim to make these advanced FHE capabilities easily accessible to Rust developers.

Whether you're developing secure data processing applications or privacy-focused tools, OpenFHE-rs enables you to leverage the powerful encryption technologies of OpenFHE seamlessly within your Rust projects.

Installation

To use OpenFHE-rs, you'll need to install several dependencies and follow the installation steps for both the core OpenFHE library and the Rust crate.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following dependencies installed:

• CMake >= 3.5.1
• Clang >= 12.0 or GCC >= 11.4
• Rust >= 1.78
• Git

Unix

On Debian-based systems, you can install the necessary dependencies using:

sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev cmake clang git

Installation process

Core OpenFHE library installation

To build and install the OpenFHE library, follow the steps below or refer to OpenFHE's installation documentation.

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/openfheorg/openfhe-development.git
cd openfhe-development

1. Configure CMake

cmake -B ${OPENFHE_BUILD:-build} -DBUILD_SHARED=ON .       

1. Build and install the C++ OpenFHE library

make -C ${OPENFHE_BUILD:-build} -j$(nproc)
make -C ${OPENFHE_BUILD:-build} install

1. Update the cache for the linker

sudo ldconfig

Configuring your project to use the crate

To use the OpenFHE crate in your Rust project, add it as a dependency from crates.io:

cargo add openfhe

You also need to add a small piece of code for the core dependencies' configuration in your build.rs file:

fn main
{
    // linking openFHE
    println!("cargo::rustc-link-arg=-L/usr/local/lib");
    println!("cargo::rustc-link-arg=-lOPENFHEpke");
    println!("cargo::rustc-link-arg=-lOPENFHEbinfhe");
    println!("cargo::rustc-link-arg=-lOPENFHEcore");
    // linking OpenMP
    println!("cargo::rustc-link-arg=-fopenmp");
    // necessary to avoid LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    println!("cargo::rustc-link-arg=-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib");
}

Template repository

Instead of doing it manually, you can start your project by forking our template repository.

Custom crate installation from the source

You can adjust the installation process by building the crate manually. In that case, you need to clone the Fair Math's openfhe-rs repo to your local machine and build it:

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/fairmath/openfhe-rs.git
   cd openfhe-rs
   

   1. Build the library bash cargo build

2. Run tests

   cargo test -- --test-threads=1
   

   1. Run the examples bash cargo run --example function_evaluation cargo run --example polynomial_evaluation cargo run --example simple_integers cargo run --example simple_real_integers
