VRF

VRF implementation is set by func init() with build option

Interface

• package/file
  • PikeEcosystem/tendermint/crypto/vrf
    • var defaultVrf vrfEd25519
    • vrf.go
    • vrf_test.go

type vrfEd25519 interface {
	Prove(privateKey []byte, message []byte) (Proof, error)
	Verify(publicKey []byte, proof Proof, message []byte) (bool, error)
	ProofToHash(proof Proof) (Output, error)

Implementations

Use func init() with build option

• package/file
  • PikeEcosystem/tendermint/crypto/vrf
    • (r2ishiguro = default)
      • //go:build libsodium
      • // +build !libsodium,!coniks
      • func init() { defaultVrf = newVrfEd25519r2ishiguro() }
      • const ProofSize = 81
      • vrf_r2ishiguro.go
    • (coniks)
      • //go:build coniks
      • // +build coniks
      • func init() { defaultVrf = newVrfEd25519coniks() }
      • const ProofSize = 96
      • vrf_coniks.go
      • vrf_coniks_test.go
    • (libsodium)
      • //go:build libsodium
      • // +build libsodium
      • func init() { defaultVrf = newVrfEd25519libsodium() }
      • const ProofSize = int(libsodium.PROOFBYTES)
      • vrf_libsodium.go
      • vrf_libsodium_test.go

Status

impl	available	memo
r2ishiguro	o	(default)
coniks	x	no compatibility between crypto ED25519 and coniks ED25519 (See TestProveAndVerify_ConiksByCryptoED25519)
libsodium	o	need to build libsodium (See libsodium task of Makefile)

Attention

• There is no compatibility between r2ishiguro.Prove/libsodium.Verify and libsodium.Prove/r2ishiguro.Verify (See TestProveAndVerifyCompatibilityLibsodium)
• tendermint Network should use r2ishiguro or libsodium (Can't use both at the same time in tendermint Network)

libsodium (bind C implementations)

• package/file
  • PikeEcosystem/tendermint/crypto/vrf/internal/vrf
    • // +build libsodium
    • vrf.go
    • vrf_test.go
    • libsodium: submodule (See .gitmodule)
    • sodium: libs (See libsodium task of Makefile)

How to test

# r2ishiguro
go test github.com/PikeEcosystem/tendermint/crypto/vrf -tags r2ishiguro
# libsodium
go test github.com/PikeEcosystem/tendermint/crypto/vrf -tags libsodium
# internal libsodium only
go test github.com/PikeEcosystem/tendermint/crypto/vrf/internal/vrf -v -tags libsodium

# coniks is not available, but if you want to do, you can see no-compatibility
go test github.com/PikeEcosystem/tendermint/crypto/vrf -tags coniks

How to benchmark

# r2ishiguro
go test -bench Benchmark github.com/PikeEcosystem/tendermint/crypto/vrf -run ^$ -benchtime=1000x -count 10 -benchmem -v
# libsodium
go test -bench Benchmark github.com/PikeEcosystem/tendermint/crypto/vrf -run ^$ -benchtime=1000x -count 10 -benchmem -v -tags libsodium

How to build

# r2ishiguro
make build
# libsodium
LIBSODIUM=1 make build
