Overview

About

Maintained by Ewen HarrisonFirst published 2019-03-253 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

It is important to ensure that sensitive data is protected. This straightforward package is aimed at the end-user. Strong RSA encryption using a public/private key pair is used to encrypt data frame or tibble columns. A public key can be shared to allow others to encrypt data to be sent to you. This is particularly aimed a healthcare settings so patient data can be pseudonymised.
