Implementation of the Google Zero-Knowledge Library for Identity Protocols

4 months ago 4

 Apache 2.0 eprint IETF Draft

The Longfellow library enables the construction of zero-knowledge protocols concerning legacy identity verification standards such as the ISO MDOC standard, the JWT standard, and W3 Verifiable Credentials. This implementation is described in:

It is named after the bridge outside the Google Cambridge office.

This project is currently undergoing two independent security reviews by panels of academic and industry experts in the field. Their reports will be made public on this repo when completed, targetted for Aug 1.

You can quickly test our library by using the associated devcontainer to create its environment. Simply click on Code-->Codespaces-->Create codespace on master above to get started. This creates a docker container on a Github server that includes all of the dependencies and provides a web-based VScode interface to our current codebase. You can compile and run our benchmarks in this environment, but some of them may be slower than our reported values due to the VM.

This package depends on cmake, openssl, zstd, clang, googletest and googlebenchmark.

$ sudo apt install libssl-dev libzstd-dev libgtest-dev libbenchmark-dev zlib1g-dev
$ yum install -y clang libzstd-devel openssl-devel git cmake google-benchmark-devel gtest-devel

Ensure that Xcode command line tools such as clang and cmake are installed.

$ brew install googletest google-benchmark zstd

First run the cmake initialization step

$ CXX=clang++ cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -S lib -B clang-build-release --install-prefix ${PWD}/install

Next:

$ cd clang-build-release && make -j 16 && ctest -j 16

We have defined several unit, sumcheck, and zk benchmarks. Here are some of them:

$ ./algebra/fft_test --benchmark_filter=BM_* $ ./circuits/sha/flatsha256_circuit_test --benchmark_filter=BM_ShaZK_fp2_128
