save: Save R objects as an encrypted file.

In Gootjes/encryptr: Encryption of R objects (AES encryption)

Save R objects as an encrypted file.

Description

This function allows you to save encrypted R objects. R objects are taken from the environment.

Usage

save(..., list = character(), file = stop("'file' must be specified"),
  envir = parent.frame(), password = NULL)

Arguments

...	the variables to be saved.
list	an optional list of names that identity the R objects to store.
file	the path to the file.
envir	the environment the variables are token from.
password	the password to use, if NULL, the package tries to ask for a password.

Details

Uses AES 256-bit encryption (in CBC mode) with a SHA-256 hashed password.

Note

Asking for a password relies on being in interactive() mode (RStudio, RGui). Outside interactive() mode (rmarkdown, knitr), the package "getPass" is required.

Examples

df <- data.frame(rnorm(100))
save(df, file="mydata.Rdata")
