On the library staffed IBM Watson Research Center Victor Shoup (Victor Shoup) and Shai Halevi (Shai Halevi).

Homomorphic encryption allows data operations (such as, for example, addition and multiplication of numbers) without decrypting them. The idea of ​​creating such systems was first proposed in the second half of the XX century, one of the creators of the RSA, Ronald Rivest, but was mistakenly assessed as unrealizable. The first homomorphic system that allows to simultaneously perform operations of addition and multiplication, and was invented by IBM employee Craig Gentry (Craig Gentry) in 2009.

HElib is written in C + + using the math library NTL . The source code is distributed under the GPL.

So, the upcoming changes:

  • Switching to KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt5.
  • The inclusion of Wayland in the list of supported servers. Most of the work done in Qt5, but remains an unsolved problem c Oxygen. 
  • A new type of package – «Look and Feel». Various parts and associated UI code will now be included in a single package.
  • The base shell. Instead of separate executive files destined for different devices and configurations that will create one basic shell. The remaining parts will be made in separate «shell package», which can be connected on the fly. This will give users the ability to switch from tablet version shell on desktop when you connect the keyboard and mouse.
  • With the transition to QtQuick opportunity to move the rendering on the GPU. This frees the CPU and save battery power in portable computers.
    For devices that do not have support for OpenGL, will be maintained to operate at XRender or completely on the CPU.

Recently, the development ROSA ABF comes in two main areas: expanding the functional storage system source code and development subsystem building packages. Among the main innovations of version 2.0. are the following functions:

REST API
Thanks to the REST API, anyone can use ABF as a platform for their applications and services, and automate routine tasks. Documentation on the REST API can be found on a special site for developers.

Pull Request
Pull Request function allows you to propose changes to the git-repository others. After sending this request, all interested participants can see, discuss and, if necessary, edit the code. And the tool is effective for projects of any scale. To use the Pull Request, make a clone (fork) of the project, please make the changes, and then offer them to the main branch, creating a request to include the changes from the project. However, no rights for the main project is not provided or required.

Commenting the code line by line
Because while working with the code can not do without discussions, ABF 2.0 includes support for Github Flavored Markdown – a simple markup language. Along with the ability to discuss each line of code, it provides a team of developers is a good tool for discussion.

Tracker with a reaction to the change in the code
Under the reaction to changes to the source code, we mean the mapping of the problem the following data:

  • information about changes in the source code if you commit was the number of the task;
  • Information about other tasks and requests for changes to the source code if they relied on this.

Now the problem can see all the information about her discussions commits related tasks and requests for changes to the source code (Pull Request).

Git over ssh
Perhaps the most anticipated feature ROSA ABF. First, it saves you from having to enter a password to perform each operation. Second, removes the limitation on the amount of data transmitted. And thirdly, it is a classic version of the remote server Git.

Subsystem package building
Updated subsystem has received full support for building packages for different distributions and enhanced security. Were removed implicit dependencies between assemblies, because each of them is now used clean virtual machine. Also added new features for working with assembly tasks were unified and working tools. It is now possible to cancel the job and was about to become available to the general log is automatically updated process.
