OpenDP

Project Status: WIP – Initial development is in progress, but there has not yet been a stable, usable release suitable for the public. License: MIT Python ci tests

OpenDP is a modular library of statistical algorithms that adhere to the definition of differential privacy. It can be used to build applications of privacy-preserving computations, using a number of different models of privacy. OpenDP is implemented in Rust, with bindings for easy use from Python.

The architecture of OpenDP is based on a conceptual framework for expressing privacy-aware computations. This framework is described in the paper A Programming Framework for OpenDP.

OpenDP (the library) is part of the larger OpenDP Project, a community effort to build trustworthy, open source software tools for analysis of private data.

Status

OpenDP is under development, and we aim to release new versions frequently. It's a work in progress, but we feel that OpenDP already can be used to build some useful applications. We also hope that it may be a vehicle for exploring new ideas in privacy. We welcome you to try it and look forward to feedback on the usability of the library! However, please be aware of the following limitations.

WARNING

OpenDP is not yet recommended for production deployments. It has known privacy concerns, particularly around floating point handling and side channel attacks. We expect to address these issues, but until then, please don't use OpenDP for any privacy-critical applications.

More details can be found in the Limitations section of the User Guide

Installation

The easiest way to install OpenDP is using pip (the package installer for Python):

% pip install opendp
