Overview ¶
Package sw_emulated implements elliptic curve group operations in (short) Weierstrass form.
The elliptic curve is the set of points (X,Y) satisfying the equation:
Y² = X³ + aX + b
over some base field 𝐅p for some constants a, b ∈ 𝐅p. Additionally, for every curve we also define its generator (base point) G. All these parameters are stored in the variable of type CurveParams.
This package implements unified and complete point addition. The method Curve.AddUnified can be used for point additions or in case of points at infinity. As such, this package does not expose separate Add and Double methods.
The package provides a few curve parameters, see functions GetSecp256k1Params and GetBN254Params.
Unconventionally, this package uses type parameters to define the base field of the points and variables to define the coefficients of the curve. This is due to how the emulated elements are constructed by their type parameters. To unify the different conventions, we provide the method GetCurveParams to allow resolving a particular curve parameter depending on the type parameter defining the base field. For now, we only have a single curve defined on every base field, but this may change in the future with the addition of additional curves.
This package uses field emulation (unlike packages github.com/consensys/gnark/std/algebra/native/sw_bls12377 and github.com/consensys/gnark/std/algebra/native/sw_bls24315, which use 2-chains). This allows to use any curve over any native (SNARK) field. The drawback of this approach is the extreme cost of the operations.

Types ¶
type AffinePoint ¶
type AffinePoint[Base emulated.FieldParams] struct { X, Y emulated.Element[Base] }
AffinePoint represents a point on the elliptic curve. We do not check that the point is actually on the curve.
Point (0,0) represents point at the infinity. This representation is compatible with the EVM representations of points at infinity.
type Curve ¶
type Curve[Base, Scalars emulated.FieldParams] struct { // contains filtered or unexported fields }
Curve is an initialised curve which allows performing group operations.

func New ¶
func New[Base, Scalars emulated.FieldParams](api frontend.API, params CurveParams) (*Curve[Base, Scalars], error)
New returns a new Curve instance over the base field Base and scalar field Scalars defined by the curve parameters params. It returns an error if initialising the field emulation fails (for example, when the native field is too small) or when the curve parameters are incompatible with the fields.
func (*Curve[B, S]) Add ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) Add(p, q *AffinePoint[B]) *AffinePoint[B]
Add performs unsafe addition of points p and q. For safe addition use Curve.AddUnified.
func (*Curve[B, S]) AddUnified ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) AddUnified(p, q *AffinePoint[B]) *AffinePoint[B]
AddUnified adds p and q and returns it. It doesn't modify p nor q.
✅ p can be equal to q, and either or both can be (0,0). (0,0) is not on the curve but we conventionally take it as the neutral/infinity point as per the EVM.
It uses the unified formulas of Brier and Joye ([BriJoy02] (Corollary 1)).
func (*Curve[B, S]) AssertIsEqual ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) AssertIsEqual(p, q *AffinePoint[B])
AssertIsEqual asserts that p and q are the same point.
func (*Curve[B, S]) AssertIsOnCurve ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) AssertIsOnCurve(p *AffinePoint[B])
AssertIsOnCurve asserts if p belongs to the curve. It doesn't modify p.
func (*Curve[B, S]) Generator ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) Generator() *AffinePoint[B]
Generator returns the base point of the curve. The method does not copy and modifying the returned element leads to undefined behaviour!
func (*Curve[B, S]) GeneratorMultiples ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) GeneratorMultiples() []AffinePoint[B]
GeneratorMultiples returns the pre-computed multiples of the base point of the curve. The method does not copy and modifying the returned element leads to undefined behaviour!
func (*Curve[B, S]) JointScalarMulBase ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) JointScalarMulBase(p *AffinePoint[B], s2, s1 *emulated.Element[S], opts ...algopts.AlgebraOption) *AffinePoint[B]
JointScalarMulBase computes s2 * p + s1 * g and returns it, where g is the fixed generator. It doesn't modify p, s1 and s2.
⚠️ p must NOT be (0,0). ⚠️ s1 and s2 must NOT be 0.
It uses the logic from ScalarMul() for s1 * g and the logic from ScalarMulBase() for s2 * g.
JointScalarMulBase is used to verify an ECDSA signature (r,s) on the secp256k1 curve. In this case, p is a public key, s2=r/s and s1=hash/s.
- hash cannot be 0, because of pre-image resistance.
- r cannot be 0, because r is the x coordinate of a random point on secp256k1 (y²=x³+7 mod p) and 7 is not a square mod p. For any other curve, (_,0) is a point of order 2 which is not the prime subgroup.
- (0,0) is not a valid public key.
The [EVM] specifies these checks, wich are performed on the zkEVM arithmetization side before calling the circuit that uses this method.
This saves the Select logic related to (0,0) and the use of AddUnified to handle the 0-scalar edge case.
func (*Curve[B, S]) Lookup2 ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) Lookup2(b0, b1 frontend.Variable, i0, i1, i2, i3 *AffinePoint[B]) *AffinePoint[B]
Lookup2 performs a 2-bit lookup between i0, i1, i2, i3 based on bits b0 and b1. Returns:
- i0 if b0=0 and b1=0,
- i1 if b0=1 and b1=0,
- i2 if b0=0 and b1=1,
- i3 if b0=1 and b1=1.
func (*Curve[B, S]) MarshalG1 ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) MarshalG1(p AffinePoint[B]) []frontend.Variable
MarshalG1 marshals the affine point into bits. The output is compatible with the point marshalling in gnark-crypto.
func (*Curve[B, S]) MarshalScalar ¶
MarshalScalar marshals the scalar into bits. Compatible with scalar marshalling in gnark-crypto.
func (*Curve[B, S]) MultiScalarMul ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) MultiScalarMul(p []*AffinePoint[B], s []*emulated.Element[S], opts ...algopts.AlgebraOption) (*AffinePoint[B], error)
MultiScalarMul computes the multi scalar multiplication of the points P and scalars s. It returns an error if the length of the slices mismatch. If the input slices are empty, then returns point at infinity.
⚠️ Points and scalars must be nonzero.
func (*Curve[B, S]) Mux ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) Mux(sel frontend.Variable, inputs ...*AffinePoint[B]) *AffinePoint[B]
Mux performs a lookup from the inputs and returns inputs[sel]. It is most efficient for power of two lengths of the inputs, but works for any number of inputs.
func (*Curve[B, S]) Neg ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) Neg(p *AffinePoint[B]) *AffinePoint[B]
Neg returns an inverse of p. It doesn't modify p.
func (*Curve[B, S]) ScalarMul ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) ScalarMul(p *AffinePoint[B], s *emulated.Element[S], opts ...algopts.AlgebraOption) *AffinePoint[B]
ScalarMul computes s * p and returns it. It doesn't modify p nor s. This function doesn't check that the p is on the curve. See AssertIsOnCurve.
ScalarMul calls scalarMulGeneric or scalarMulGLV depending on whether an efficient endomorphism is available.
func (*Curve[B, S]) ScalarMulBase ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) ScalarMulBase(s *emulated.Element[S], opts ...algopts.AlgebraOption) *AffinePoint[B]
ScalarMulBase computes s * g and returns it, where g is the fixed generator. It doesn't modify s.
✅ When s=0, it returns (0,0). (0,0) is not on the curve but we conventionally take it as the neutral/infinity point as per the EVM.
It computes the standard little-endian fixed-base double-and-add algorithm HMV04 (Algorithm 3.26), with the points [2^i]g precomputed. The bits at positions 1 and 2 are handled outside of the loop to optimize the number of constraints using a Lookup2 with pre-computed [3]g, [5]g and [7]g points.
func (*Curve[B, S]) Select ¶
func (c *Curve[B, S]) Select(b frontend.Variable, p, q *AffinePoint[B]) *AffinePoint[B]
Select selects between p and q given the selector b. If b == 1, then returns p and q otherwise.
type CurveParams ¶
type CurveParams struct { A *big.Int // a in curve equation B *big.Int // b in curve equation Gx *big.Int // base point x Gy *big.Int // base point y Gm [][2]*big.Int // m*base point coords Eigenvalue *big.Int // endomorphism eigenvalue ThirdRootOne *big.Int // endomorphism image scaler }
CurveParams defines parameters of an elliptic curve in short Weierstrass form given by the equation
Y² = X³ + aX + b
The base point is defined by (Gx, Gy).

func GetBN254Params() CurveParams
GetBN254Params returns the curve parameters for the curve BN254 (alt_bn128). When initialising new curve, use the base field emulated.BN254Fp and scalar field emulated.BN254Fr.
func GetBW6761Params ¶
func GetBW6761Params() CurveParams
GetBW6761Params returns the curve parameters for the curve BW6-761. When initialising new curve, use the base field emulated.BW6761Fp and scalar field emulated.BW6761Fr.
func GetCurveParams ¶
func GetCurveParams[Base emulated.FieldParams]() CurveParams
GetCurveParams returns suitable curve parameters given the parametric type Base as base field. It caches the parameters and modifying the values in the parameters struct leads to undefined behaviour.
func GetP256Params ¶
func GetP256Params() CurveParams
GetP256Params returns the curve parameters for the curve P-256 (also SECP256r1). When initialising new curve, use the base field emulated.P256Fp and scalar field emulated.P256Fr.
