Functions

func Decrypt 

func Decrypt(suite abstract.Suite, ciphertext []byte, anonymitySet Set,
	mine int, privateKey abstract.Scalar, hide bool) ([]byte, error)

Decrypt a message encrypted for a particular anonymity set. Returns the cleartext message on success, or an error on failure.

The caller provides the anonymity set for which the message is intended, and the private key corresponding to one of the public keys in the set. Decrypt verifies that the message is encrypted correctly for this set - in particular, that it could be decrypted by ALL of the listed members - before returning successfully with the decrypted message. This verification ensures that a malicious sender cannot de-anonymize a receiver by constructing a ciphertext incorrectly so as to be decryptable by only some members of the set. As a side-effect, this verification also ensures plaintext-awareness: that is, it is infeasible for a sender to construct any ciphertext that will be accepted by the receiver without knowing the plaintext.

func Encrypt 

func Encrypt(suite abstract.Suite, rand cipher.Stream, message []byte,
	anonymitySet Set, hide bool) []byte

Encrypt a message for reading by any member of an explit anonymity set. The caller supplies one or more keys representing the anonymity set. If the provided set contains only one public key, this reduces to conventional single-receiver public-key encryption.

If hide is true, Encrypt will produce a uniformly random-looking byte-stream, which reveals no metadata other than message length to anyone unable to decrypt the message. The provided abstract.Suite must support uniform-representation encoding of public keys for this to work.

Example (AnonSet) 
// Crypto setup
suite := nist.NewAES128SHA256P256()
rand := suite.Cipher([]byte("example"))

// Create an anonymity set of random "public keys"
X := make([]abstract.Point, 3)
for i := range X { // pick random points
	X[i], _ = suite.Point().Pick(nil, rand)
}

// Make just one of them an actual public/private keypair (X[mine],x)
mine := 1                           // only the signer knows this
x := suite.Scalar().Pick(rand)      // create a private key x
X[mine] = suite.Point().Mul(nil, x) // corresponding public key X

// Encrypt a message with all the public keys
M := []byte("Hello World!") // message to encrypt
C := Encrypt(suite, rand, M, Set(X), false)
fmt.Printf("Encryption of '%s':\n%s", string(M), hex.Dump(C))

// Decrypt the ciphertext with the known private key
MM, err := Decrypt(suite, C, Set(X), mine, x, false)
if err != nil {
	panic(err.Error())
}
if !bytes.Equal(M, MM) {
	panic("Decryption failed to reproduce message")
}
fmt.Printf("Decrypted: '%s'\n", string(MM))

Output:

func Sign 

func Sign(suite abstract.Suite, random cipher.Stream, message []byte,
	anonymitySet Set, linkScope []byte, mine int, privateKey abstract.Scalar) []byte

Sign creates an optionally anonymous, optionally linkable signature on a given message.

The caller supplies one or more public keys representing an anonymity set, and the private key corresponding to one of those public keys. The resulting signature proves to a verifier that the owner of one of these public keys signed the message, without revealing which key-holder signed the message, offering anonymity among the members of this explicit anonymity set. The other users whose keys are listed in the anonymity set need not consent or even be aware that they have been included in an anonymity set: anyone having a suitable public key may be "conscripted" into a set.

If the provided anonymity set contains only one public key (the signer's), then this function produces a traditional non-anonymous signature, equivalent in both size and performance to a standard ElGamal signature.

The caller may request either unlinkable or linkable anonymous signatures. If linkScope is nil, this function generates an unlinkable signature, which contains no information about which member signed the message. The anonymity provided by unlinkable signatures is forward-secure, in that a signature reveals nothing about which member generated it, even if all members' private keys are later released. For cryptographic background on unlinkable anonymity-set signatures - also known as ring signatures or ad-hoc group signatures - see Rivest, "How to Leak a Scalar" at http://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/RivestShamirTauman-HowToLeakAScalar.pdf.

If the caller passes a non-nil linkScope, the resulting anonymous signature will be linkable. This means that given two signatures produced using the same linkScope, a verifier will be able to tell whether the same or different anonymity set members produced those signatures. In particular, verifying a linkable signature yields a linkage tag. This linkage tag has a 1-to-1 correspondence with the signer's public key within a given linkScope, but is cryptographically unlinkable to either the signer's public key or to linkage tags in other scopes. The provided linkScope may be an arbitrary byte-string; the only significance these scopes have is whether they are equal or unequal. For details on the linkable signature algorithm this function implements, see Liu/Wei/Wong, "Linkable Spontaneous Anonymous Group Signature for Ad Hoc Groups" at http://www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/~duncan/papers/04liuetal_lsag.pdf.

Linkage tags may be used to protect against sock-puppetry or Sybil attacks in situations where a verifier needs to know how many distinct members of an anonymity set are present or signed messages in a given context. It is cryptographically hard for one anonymity set member to produce signatures with different linkage tags in the same scope. An important and fundamental downside, however, is that linkable signatures do NOT offer forward-secure anonymity. If an anonymity set member's private key is later released, it is trivial to check whether or not that member produced a given signature. Also, anonymity set members who did NOT sign a message could (voluntarily or under coercion) prove that they did not sign it, e.g., simply by signing some other message in that linkage context and noting that the resulting linkage tag comes out different. Thus, linkable anonymous signatures are not appropriate to use in situations where there may be significant risk that members' private keys may later be compromised, or that members may be persuaded or coerced into revealing whether or not they produced a signature of interest.

Example (AnonSet)

This example demonstrates how to create unlinkable anonymity-set signatures, and to verify them, using a small anonymity set containing three public keys. 

// Crypto setup
suite := nist.NewAES128SHA256P256()
rand := suite.Cipher([]byte("example"))

// Create an anonymity set of random "public keys"
X := make([]abstract.Point, 3)
for i := range X { // pick random points
	X[i], _ = suite.Point().Pick(nil, rand)
}

// Make just one of them an actual public/private keypair (X[mine],x)
mine := 1                           // only the signer knows this
x := suite.Scalar().Pick(rand)      // create a private key x
X[mine] = suite.Point().Mul(nil, x) // corresponding public key X

// Generate the signature
M := []byte("Hello World!") // message we want to sign
sig := Sign(suite, rand, M, Set(X), nil, mine, x)
fmt.Print("Signature:\n" + hex.Dump(sig))

// Verify the signature against the correct message
tag, err := Verify(suite, M, Set(X), nil, sig)
if err != nil {
	panic(err.Error())
}
if tag == nil || len(tag) != 0 {
	panic("Verify returned wrong tag")
}
fmt.Println("Signature verified against correct message.")

// Verify the signature against the wrong message
BAD := []byte("Goodbye world!")
tag, err = Verify(suite, BAD, Set(X), nil, sig)
if err == nil || tag != nil {
	panic("Signature verified against wrong message!?")
}
fmt.Println("Verifying against wrong message: " + err.Error())

Output:

Verifying against wrong message: invalid signature
Example (Linkable)

This example demonstrates the creation of linkable anonymity set signatures, and verification, using an anonymity set containing three public keys. We produce four signatures, two from each of two private key-holders, demonstrating how the resulting verifiable tags distinguish signatures by the same key-holder from signatures by different key-holders. 

// Crypto setup
suite := nist.NewAES128SHA256P256()
rand := suite.Cipher([]byte("example"))

// Create an anonymity set of random "public keys"
X := make([]abstract.Point, 3)
for i := range X { // pick random points
	X[i], _ = suite.Point().Pick(nil, rand)
}

// Make two actual public/private keypairs (X[mine],x)
mine1 := 1 // only the signer knows this
mine2 := 2
x1 := suite.Scalar().Pick(rand) // create a private key x
x2 := suite.Scalar().Pick(rand)
X[mine1] = suite.Point().Mul(nil, x1) // corresponding public key X
X[mine2] = suite.Point().Mul(nil, x2)

// Generate two signatures using x1 and two using x2
M := []byte("Hello World!")     // message we want to sign
S := []byte("My Linkage Scope") // scope for linkage tags
var sig [4][]byte
sig[0] = Sign(suite, rand, M, Set(X), S, mine1, x1)
sig[1] = Sign(suite, rand, M, Set(X), S, mine1, x1)
sig[2] = Sign(suite, rand, M, Set(X), S, mine2, x2)
sig[3] = Sign(suite, rand, M, Set(X), S, mine2, x2)
for i := range sig {
	fmt.Printf("Signature %d:\n%s", i, hex.Dump(sig[i]))
}

// Verify the signatures against the correct message
var tag [4][]byte
for i := range sig {
	goodtag, err := Verify(suite, M, Set(X), S, sig[i])
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}
	tag[i] = goodtag
	if tag[i] == nil || len(tag[i]) != suite.PointLen() {
		panic("Verify returned invalid tag")
	}
	fmt.Printf("Sig%d tag: %s\n", i,
		hex.EncodeToString(tag[i]))

	// Verify the signature against the wrong message
	BAD := []byte("Goodbye world!")
	badtag, err := Verify(suite, BAD, Set(X), S, sig[i])
	if err == nil || badtag != nil {
		panic("Signature verified against wrong message!?")
	}
}
if !bytes.Equal(tag[0], tag[1]) || !bytes.Equal(tag[2], tag[3]) ||
	bytes.Equal(tag[0], tag[2]) {
	panic("tags aren't coming out right!")
}

func Verify 

func Verify(suite abstract.Suite, message []byte, anonymitySet Set,
	linkScope []byte, signatureBuffer []byte) ([]byte, error)

Verify checks a signature generated by Sign.

The caller provides the message, anonymity set, and linkage scope with which the signature was purportedly produced. If the signature is a valid linkable signature (linkScope != nil), this function returns a linkage tag that uniquely corresponds to the signer within the given linkScope. If the signature is a valid unlinkable signature (linkScope == nil), returns an empty but non-nil byte-slice instead of a linkage tag on success. Returns a nil linkage tag and an error if the signature is invalid.

Types

type PriKey 

type PriKey struct {
	Set                  // Public key-set
	Mine int             // Index of the public key I own
	Pri  abstract.Scalar // Private key for that public key
}

A private key representing a member of an anonymity set

type SKEME 

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

Pairwise anonymous key agreement for point-to-point interactions. We use the encryption-based SKEME authenticated key exchange protocol, with the anonymity-set encryption, to authenticate a Diffie-Hellman secret. The result is a private two-party communication channel, where each party knows that the other is a member of a specific set, but does not know the other's price identity unless his set is of size one. Once we have performed this key agreement, we can use more efficient pairwise cryptographic primitives such as GCM authenticators, which are not directly usable in multiparty contexts.

func (*SKEME) Init 

func (sk *SKEME) Init(suite abstract.Suite, rand cipher.Stream,
	lpri PriKey, rpub Set, hide bool)

Initialize...

func (*SKEME) Recv 

func (sk *SKEME) Recv(rm []byte) (bool, error)

func (*SKEME) ToSend 

func (sk *SKEME) ToSend() []byte

Return the current message that should be sent (retransmitting if needed)

type Set 

type Set []abstract.Point

An anon.Set represents an explicit anonymity set as a list of public keys.
