Introduction

Binder Build Status Chat on Slack FOSSA Status

PySyft is a Python library for secure, private Deep Learning. PySyft decouples private data from model training, using Multi-Party Computation (MPC) within PyTorch. Join the movement on Slack.

PySyft in Detail

A more detailed explanation of PySyft can be found in the paper on arxiv

PySyft has also been explained in video form by Siraj Raval

Pre-Installation

Optionally, we recommend that you install PySyft within the Conda virtual environment. If you are using Windows, I suggest installing Anaconda and using the Anaconda Prompt to work from the command line.

conda create -n pysyft python=3
conda activate pysyft # some older version of conda require "source activate pysyft" instead.
conda install jupyter notebook 

Installation

PySyft supports Python >= 3.6 and PyTorch 1.1.0

pip install syft

If you have an installation error regarding zstd, run this command and then re-try installing syft.

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall zstd

If this still doesn't work, and you happen to be on OSX, make sure you have OSX command line tools installed and try again.

You can also install PySyft from source on a variety of operating systems by following this installation guide.

Run Local Notebook Server

All the examples can be played with by running the command

make notebook

and selecting the pysyft kernel

Try out the Tutorials

A comprehensive list of tutorials can be found here

These tutorials cover how to perform techniques such as federated learning and differential privacy using PySyft.

Start Contributing

The guide for contributors can be found here. It covers all that you need to know to start contributing code to PySyft in an easy way.

Also join the rapidly growing community of 3700+ on Slack. The slack community is very friendly and great about quickly answering questions about the use and development of PySyft!

Troubleshooting

We have written an installation example in this colab notebook, you can use it as is to start working with PySyft on the colab cloud, or use this setup to fix your installation locally.
