Functions ¶
func NewCS ¶ added in v0.4.0
func NewCS(curveID ecc.ID) constraint.ConstraintSystem
NewCS instantiate a concrete curved-typed R1CS and return a R1CS interface This method exists for (de)serialization purposes
func Setup ¶
func Setup(r1cs constraint.ConstraintSystem) (ProvingKey, VerifyingKey, error)
Setup runs groth16.Setup with provided R1CS and outputs a key pair associated with the circuit.
Note that careful consideration must be given to this step in a production environment. groth16.Setup uses some randomness to precompute the Proving and Verifying keys. If the process or machine leaks this randomness, an attacker could break the ZKP protocol.
Two main solutions to this deployment issues are: running the Setup through a MPC (multi party computation) or using a ZKP backend like PLONK where the per-circuit Setup is deterministic.
func Verify ¶
func Verify(proof Proof, vk VerifyingKey, publicWitness witness.Witness, opts ...backend.VerifierOption) error
Verify runs the groth16.Verify algorithm on provided proof with given witness
Types ¶
type Proof ¶
type Proof interface { CurveID() ecc.ID io.WriterTo io.ReaderFrom // Raw methods for faster serialization-deserialization. Does not perform checks on the data. // Only use if you are sure of the data you are reading comes from trusted source. gnarkio.WriterRawTo }
Proof represents a Groth16 proof generated by groth16.Prove
it's underlying implementation is curve specific (see gnark/internal/backend)
func NewProof ¶ added in v0.3.6
NewProof instantiates a curve-typed Proof and returns an interface This function exists for serialization purposes
func Prove ¶
func Prove(r1cs constraint.ConstraintSystem, pk ProvingKey, fullWitness witness.Witness, opts ...backend.ProverOption) (Proof, error)
Prove runs the groth16.Prove algorithm.
if the force flag is set:
will execute all the prover computations, even if the witness is invalid will produce an invalid proof internally, the solution vector to the R1CS will be filled with random values which may impact benchmarking
type ProvingKey ¶
type ProvingKey interface { CurveID() ecc.ID io.WriterTo io.ReaderFrom // Raw methods for faster serialization-deserialization. Does not perform checks on the data. // Only use if you are sure of the data you are reading comes from trusted source. gnarkio.WriterRawTo gnarkio.UnsafeReaderFrom // BinaryDumper is the interface that wraps the WriteDump and ReadDump // methods. It performs a very fast and very unsafe memory dump writing and // reading. gnarkio.BinaryDumper // NbG1 returns the number of G1 elements in the ProvingKey NbG1() int // NbG2 returns the number of G2 elements in the ProvingKey NbG2() int // IsDifferent compares against another proving key and returns true if they are different. IsDifferent(any) bool }
ProvingKey represents a Groth16 ProvingKey
it's underlying implementation is strongly typed with the curve (see gnark/internal/backend)
func DummySetup ¶
func DummySetup(r1cs constraint.ConstraintSystem) (ProvingKey, error)
DummySetup create a random ProvingKey with provided R1CS it doesn't return a VerifyingKey and is use for benchmarking or test purposes only.
func NewProvingKey ¶ added in v0.3.6
func NewProvingKey(curveID ecc.ID) ProvingKey
NewProvingKey instantiates a curve-typed ProvingKey and returns an interface object This function exists for serialization purposes
type VerifyingKey ¶
type VerifyingKey interface { CurveID() ecc.ID io.WriterTo io.ReaderFrom // Raw methods for faster serialization-deserialization. Does not perform checks on the data. // Only use if you are sure of the data you are reading comes from trusted source. gnarkio.WriterRawTo gnarkio.UnsafeReaderFrom // VerifyingKey are the methods required for generating the Solidity // verifier contract from the VerifyingKey. This will return an error if not // supported on the CurveID(). solidity.VerifyingKey // NbPublicWitness returns number of elements expected in the public witness NbPublicWitness() int // NbG1 returns the number of G1 elements in the VerifyingKey NbG1() int // NbG2 returns the number of G2 elements in the VerifyingKey NbG2() int IsDifferent(interface{}) bool }
VerifyingKey represents a Groth16 VerifyingKey
it's underlying implementation is strongly typed with the curve (see gnark/internal/backend)
ExportSolidity is implemented for BN254 and will return an error with other curves
func NewVerifyingKey ¶ added in v0.3.6
func NewVerifyingKey(curveID ecc.ID) VerifyingKey
NewVerifyingKey instantiates a curve-typed VerifyingKey and returns an interface This function exists for serialization purposes
