SecretFlow 1.14.0 Release: A Lighter, More Streamlined Experience ๐Ÿš€

We are excited to announce the official release of SecretFlow 1.14.0!

This version brings important optimizations and issue fixes that make SecretFlow easier to use and more developer-friendly.


๐ŸŒ What is SecretFlow?

SecretFlow ** is an **open-source privacy-preserving computing framework initiated by Ant Group and embraced by a fast-growing open-source community.

Its mission is to build a โ€œusable but invisibleโ€ data computing infrastructure โ€” enabling multiple parties to collaborate on data securely, without exposing their raw data.

๐Ÿ”‘ Key Technologies Integrated in SecretFlow

  • MPC (Multi-Party Computation): allows multiple participants to jointly compute results without revealing their private inputs.
  • FL (Federated Learning): enables decentralized model training where data never leaves its original source.
  • HE (Homomorphic Encryption): makes it possible to perform computations directly on encrypted data.
  • TEE (Trusted Execution Environment): leverages hardware-based security enclaves to protect both data and computation.

๐Ÿš€ Application Scenarios

SecretFlow has been applied in real-world scenarios where data security and compliance are critical:

  • Financial Risk Control: joint modeling between institutions to enhance anti-fraud and credit scoring.
  • Insurance Pricing: precise car insurance pricing based on combined human and vehicle data.
  • Healthcare Research: cross-hospital collaboration on medical studies without disclosing sensitive patient data.
  • Telecom & Operators: compliant data integration across multiple entities.

In short, SecretFlow provides the foundation for trusted collaboration on data in an era where both privacy and data value are equally important.


๐Ÿ”ง Optimizations in 1.14.0

  • secretflow_fl migrated to an independent repo sfl

    This improves modularization, allowing the federated learning module to evolve independently.

  • Unified installation packages and images

    From now on, there will no longer be separate secretflow and secretflow[lite] packages.

    The Docker images are also unified โ€” bringing you a simpler, lighter deployment experience.


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Bug Fixes

We also addressed community-reported issues in this release:
