Make Ciphertext and SEALContext serializable through Pickle #19

Closed nilslukas closed 6 years ago

nilslukas commented 6 years ago

Ciphertexts and SEALContext can now be serialized through Pickle in Python which adds important functionality like file serialization. For this, only the wrapper had to be modified slightly.

Update: I tried out using PySEAL with the multiprocessing library (with pools) and the Pickle serialization works correctly. Hence, executing computations on the ciphertext now works with multiple cores.

Great work! Thanks for sending our way.
