Is that possible to serialize key, cipher text into binary string? #33

Hi, I want to send the cipher text through network. Saving cipher text to a binary file and read it is not convenient. Could you please add a function that can serialize cipher text into binary string?

just like it.

This can only save cipher text to the file. Is that possible to serialize cipher text to memory?

Huelse commented 4 years ago

The release 3.3.2 could pickle the ciphertext and the keys objects, but it's usually large more than the native file.

Thanks. I update SEAL-python and it looks good.
