Overview

About

Maintained by Rich FitzJohnFirst published 2019-03-237 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Encryption wrappers, using low-level support from 'sodium' and 'openssl'. 'cyphr' tries to smooth over some pain points when using encryption within applications and data analysis by wrapping around differences in function names and arguments in different encryption providing packages. It also provides high-level wrappers for input/output functions for seamlessly adding encryption to existing analyses.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("cyphr", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ropensci/cyphr")

Development version from ropensci/cyphr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-cyphr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-cyphr

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
