Motivation: The ability to perform operations on encrypted data has a growing number of applications in bioinformatics, with implications for data privacy in health care and biosecurity. The SEAL library is a popular implementation of fully homomorphic encryption developed in C++ by Microsoft Research. Despite the advantages of C++, Python is a flexible and dominant programming language that enables rapid prototyping of bioinformatics pipelines. Results: In an effort to make homomorphic encryption accessible to a broader range of bioinformatics scientists and applications, we present a Python binding implementation of the popular homomorphic encryption library, SEAL, using pybind11. The software contains a Docker image to facilitate easy installation and execution of the SEAL build process.
