Implementation of "Machine Learning Classification over Encrypted Data" by Raphael Bost, Raluca Ada Popa, Stephen Tu and Shafi Goldwasser
The code has been mostly written by Raphael Bost, with some lines from Raluca Ada Popa and Stephen Tu, and fixes by nescio007.
It is available under the General Public License (GPL) version 3.
Ciphermed builds on JustGarble which needs AES-NI enable on your CPU. Try less /proc/cpuinfo | grep aes to ensure these instructions are available. If not, you might have to disable all the garbled circuit-based code, or replace AES-NI calls by software AES.
Ciphermed directly uses GMP, HELib, boost, and others. You will need to install these and their own dependencies.
The C++ support of GMP is used in Ciphermed, so be sure to use the option --enable-cxx when calling the configure script.
HELib is an experimental Level Homomorphic Encryption library by Shai Halevi and Victor Shoup that builds on NTL (and GMP). So be sure to have NTL installed.
Note that when building NTL, be sure to make GMP the underlying large integer library by calling ./configure NTL_GMP_LIP=on.
For better performances, you might also want to use GF2X (downloadable here).
In this case, call ./configure NTL_GMP_LIP=on NTL_GF2X_LIB=on.
You will also need to change HELib's makefile (see later).
To be properly used in Ciphermed, HELib's makefile needs to be modified: be sure to add -fPIC to CFLAGS:
CFLAGS = -g -O2 -fPIC -std=c++11
If you decided to use gf2x in NTL, to pass checks, don't forget to add -lfg2x in LDLIBS. Test programs won't compile otherwise.
Ciphermed uses the following external libraries:
- boost (for the sockets)
- msg_pack (needed by JustGarble)
- OpenSSL (idem)
- Google's protocol buffers and the protoc compiler (for serialization)
- JsonCpp (for ML models I/O)
On Ubuntu, these are available as apt packages and can be installed using the command
sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev libmsgpack-dev libssl-dev libprotoc-dev protobuf-compiler libjsoncpp-dev
gcc's version installed on current versions of Mac OS is completely outdated. So if you want to build Ciphermed on your Mac OS X machine, you have two solutions:
- build and install and new version of gcc (painful)
- use clang instead
Unfortunately, Ciphermed's Makefile relies on gcc-only options, and is not immediately portable to clang.
However, a clang branch of Ciphermed exists and should work properly. This branch might not necessarily include all the changes/fixes of the master branch, and you might have to debug it.
Ciphermed codebase includes some Python scripts by Stephen Tu in the src/ml directory.
These scripts are known to be working with Python 2.7.6 and use the numpy and sklearn modules.
You can install them on Ubuntu/Debian by entering in your terminal
sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-sklearn
