encode

Engine.encode(array, level)
Encodes a message into a plaintext format for encryption. The message is encoded in segments of length Engine.slot_count. If the message length is not divisible by the slot count, the remaining slots are padded with zeros during encoding.
  • Input:
    • array: A Python list or a numpy ndarray. Supported data types include int, double, and complex double.
    • level: int, optional
      • Specifies the maximum multiplication level for encoding. Lower levels reduce space usage but also reduce the maximum multiplication depth.
  • Output:
    • Plaintext
from desilofhe import Engine

engine = Engine()

message = [1, 2, 3]
encoded = engine.encode(message)

from desilofhe import Engine

engine = Engine()

message = [1, 2, 3]
encoded = engine.encode(message, level=3)

Typically, the encrypt function handles encoding automatically. Pre-encoding a message can improve efficiency when the same message is reused across multiple operations, as it avoids redundant encoding.
