Hello,

This PR adds file serialization/deserialization for openfhe.EvalKey

If you have any suggestions or changes, please let me know!

Thank you @Thadah Could you explain the motivation for adding EvalKey serialization? Is it to support serialization for scenarios with Threshold FHE or Proxy Re-Encryption?

Our standard approach is to create an issue explaining why it is needed and then tie the PR to the issue. Could you create an issue for this PR?

Hello @yspolyakov. The feature is to support serialization for scenarios with Proxy Re-Encryption. We need it for a project where we will be storing serialized keys, temporarily or semi-permanently for a federated machine-learning scenario.

I'll create the issue and change the PR description accordingly, thank you very much for the feedback!
