Overview

Package bn256 implements a particular bilinear group.

Bilinear groups are the basis of many of the new cryptographic protocols that have been proposed over the past decade. They consist of a triplet of groups (G₁, G₂ and GT) such that there exists a function e(g₁ˣ,g₂ʸ)=gTˣʸ (where gₓ is a generator of the respective group). That function is called a pairing function.

This package specifically implements the Optimal Ate pairing over a 256-bit Barreto-Naehrig curve as described in http://cryptojedi.org/papers/dclxvi-20100714.pdf. Its output is compatible with the implementation described in that paper.

(This package previously claimed to operate at a 128-bit security level. However, recent improvements in attacks mean that is no longer true. See https://moderncrypto.org/mail-archive/curves/2016/000740.html.)

Order is the number of elements in both G₁ and G₂: 36u⁴+36u³+18u²+6u+1.

p is a prime over which we form a basic field: 36u⁴+36u³+24u²+6u+1.

Functions

func PairingCheck

func PairingCheck(a []*G1, b []*G2) bool

PairingCheck calculates the Optimal Ate pairing for a set of points.

Types

type G1

type G1 struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

G1 is an abstract cyclic group. The zero value is suitable for use as the output of an operation, but cannot be used as an input.

func RandomG1

func RandomG1(r io.Reader) (*big.Int, *G1, error)

RandomG1 returns x and g₁ˣ where x is a random, non-zero number read from r.

func (*G1) Add

func (e *G1) Add(a, b *G1) *G1

Add sets e to a+b and then returns e. BUG(agl): this function is not complete: a==b fails.

func (*G1) CurvePoints

func (e *G1) CurvePoints() (*big.Int, *big.Int, *big.Int, *big.Int)

CurvePoints returns p's curve points in big integer

func (*G1) Marshal

func (e *G1) Marshal() []byte

Marshal converts n to a byte slice.

func (*G1) Neg

func (e *G1) Neg(a *G1) *G1

Neg sets e to -a and then returns e.

func (*G1) ScalarBaseMult

func (e *G1) ScalarBaseMult(k *big.Int) *G1

ScalarBaseMult sets e to g*k where g is the generator of the group and then returns e.

func (*G1) ScalarMult

func (e *G1) ScalarMult(a *G1, k *big.Int) *G1

ScalarMult sets e to a*k and then returns e.

func (*G1) String

func (e *G1) String() string

func (*G1) Unmarshal

func (e *G1) Unmarshal(m []byte) ([]byte, error)

Unmarshal sets e to the result of converting the output of Marshal back into a group element and then returns e.

type G2

type G2 struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

G2 is an abstract cyclic group. The zero value is suitable for use as the output of an operation, but cannot be used as an input.

func RandomG2

func RandomG2(r io.Reader) (*big.Int, *G2, error)

RandomG1 returns x and g₂ˣ where x is a random, non-zero number read from r.

func (*G2) Add

func (e *G2) Add(a, b *G2) *G2

Add sets e to a+b and then returns e. BUG(agl): this function is not complete: a==b fails.

func (*G2) CurvePoints

func (e *G2) CurvePoints() (*gfP2, *gfP2, *gfP2, *gfP2)

CurvePoints returns the curve points of p which includes the real and imaginary parts of the curve point.

func (*G2) Marshal

func (n *G2) Marshal() []byte

Marshal converts n into a byte slice.

func (*G2) ScalarBaseMult

func (e *G2) ScalarBaseMult(k *big.Int) *G2

type GT

type GT struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields

GT is an abstract cyclic group. The zero value is suitable for use as the output of an operation, but cannot be used as an input.

func Pair

func Pair(g1 *G1, g2 *G2) *GT

Pair calculates an Optimal Ate pairing.

Example
// This implements the tripartite Diffie-Hellman algorithm from "A One
// Round Protocol for Tripartite Diffie-Hellman", A. Joux.
// http://www.springerlink.com/content/cddc57yyva0hburb/fulltext.pdf

// Each of three parties, a, b and c, generate a private value.
a, _ := rand.Int(rand.Reader, Order)
b, _ := rand.Int(rand.Reader, Order)
c, _ := rand.Int(rand.Reader, Order)

// Then each party calculates g₁ and g₂ times their private value.
pa := new(G1).ScalarBaseMult(a)
qa := new(G2).ScalarBaseMult(a)

pb := new(G1).ScalarBaseMult(b)
qb := new(G2).ScalarBaseMult(b)

pc := new(G1).ScalarBaseMult(c)
qc := new(G2).ScalarBaseMult(c)

// Now each party exchanges its public values with the other two and
// all parties can calculate the shared key.
k1 := Pair(pb, qc)
k1.ScalarMult(k1, a)

k2 := Pair(pc, qa)
k2.ScalarMult(k2, b)

k3 := Pair(pa, qb)
k3.ScalarMult(k3, c)

// k1, k2 and k3 will all be equal.
