PPA

SecureDNA is a free, non-profit screening platform designed to safeguard DNA synthesis everywhere.

This is a PPA repository for the SecureDNA client and related utilities. Currently built for x86/amd64 (Ubuntu 22.04 and later) and arm64 (Debian Bookworm and later).

It also holds x86/amd64 Red Hat RPMs for CentOS Stream release 9 and later.

Overview

• You can find information about the project as a whole, including papers and a live demo, at the main site.
• To use the client with real databases, you'll need to obtain certificates using utilities in this PPA.
• Docker/podman container images are also available:
  • As a minimal-size image containing just synthclient: docker pull ghcr.io/securedna/synthclient
  • As an image containing both synthclient and the tools required to request a certificate and generate authorization tokens: docker pull ghcr.io/securedna/synthclient-tools
• Source for the client and servers is available in our monorepo.
