Secure computation and storage

The tools presented in this section are tools that can help you keep your research data safe during storage and computation:

• The encryption tools listed in our overview can encrypt files, folders and/or drives while data are stored (“at rest”). You can read more about encryption in the encryption section of the Data Privacy Handbook
• The secure computing tools are software, frameworks, or communities for keeping data safe in the analysis phase of a project. For more information on secure computation, see the Secure computation chapter in the Data Privacy Handbook.

Tools/techniques not included

We did not include the following tools:

• Tools for applying differential privacy (DP). A list of DP tools can be found in the awesome privacy engineering repository. Additionally, there is an entire community of open source DP libraries: OpenDP.
• Tools for applying homomorphic encryption. A list of homomorphic encryption libraries can be found in the awesome privacy engineering repository.
