Functions ¶
func NewCS ¶
func NewCS(curveID ecc.ID) frontend.CompiledConstraintSystem
NewCS instantiate a concrete curved-typed R1CS and return a R1CS interface This method exists for (de)serialization purposes
func Setup ¶
func Setup(r1cs frontend.CompiledConstraintSystem) (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 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.
Types ¶
type Proof ¶
type Proof interface {
// contains filtered or unexported methods
}
Proof represents a Groth16 proof generated by groth16.Prove
it's underlying implementation is curve specific (see gnark/internal/backend)
func NewProof ¶
NewProof instantiates a curve-typed Proof and returns an interface This function exists for serialization purposes
func Prove ¶
func Prove(r1cs frontend.CompiledConstraintSystem, pk ProvingKey, fullWitness *witness.Witness, opts ...backend.ProverOption) (Proof, error)
Prove runs the groth16.Prove algorithm.
if the force flag is set:
will executes 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 {
gnarkio.UnsafeReaderFrom
// 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(interface{}) bool
// contains filtered or unexported methods
}
ProvingKey represents a Groth16 ProvingKey
it's underlying implementation is strongly typed with the curve (see gnark/internal/backend)
func DummySetup ¶
func DummySetup(r1cs frontend.CompiledConstraintSystem) (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 ¶
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 {
gnarkio.UnsafeReaderFrom
// 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
// ExportSolidity writes a solidity Verifier contract from the VerifyingKey
// this will return an error if not supported on the CurveID()
ExportSolidity(w io.Writer) error
IsDifferent(interface{}) bool
// contains filtered or unexported methods
}
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 ¶
func NewVerifyingKey(curveID ecc.ID) VerifyingKey
NewVerifyingKey instantiates a curve-typed VerifyingKey and returns an interface This function exists for serialization purposes
