encryptDataDS: encrypt some data on the server

In patRyserWelch8/dsServerParameter: share parameters between servers in a non-disclosive manner

Description

This server function uses some matrices operations to encrypts some data required to exchange a parameter securely between two DataSHIELD server.

Usage

encryptDataDS(master_mode = TRUE, preserve_mode = FALSE)

Arguments

master_mode	Boolean argument. It indicates the mode of encryption. By default, set to TRUE.
preserve_mode	Boolean argument. It indicates to presever some data exchanged previously between servers. By default, set to FALSE.

Details

This function encrypts data in four different ways; each of them are defined by the combination of argument values.

• master_mode = TRUE, preserve_mode = FALSE - This combination of argument values indicates the server is in master_mode. An exchange of encrypted data is initiated. It is the first step of the exchange.

• master_mode = FALSE, preserve_mode = FALSE - This set of argument values states the server is in receiver_mode. Some data received from the master is used again to encrypted a receiver_server specific data.

• master_mode = TRUE, preserve_mode = TRUE - When both argument values are set to true, some data used previously in the process are concealed in within some newly generated data.

• master_mode = FALSE, preserve_mode = TRUE - This set of argument values states the server is in receiver_mode. Some data received from the master is used again to encrypted a receiver_server specific data. Some data previously used by the process are preserved.
