SPARK Constant Time Big Integer library

Implementation of a constant time big integer library, heavily inspired by crypto-bigint.

Usage

The implementations are generic over the size of the integer

package U256 is new Bigints.Uint (256);
package U1024 is new Bigints.Uint (1024);

There is also a generic package to deal with modular integers (ie, over a prime field)

P : U256 := ...--  a big prime, like 2^255 - 19
package GF_P is new Bigints.Modular (U256, P);

All functions are implemented in constant time, except those with an explicit _Vartime suffix. Overloaded operators are also constant time.

⚠️ The constant time choice primitives like Choice_From_Condition, Cond_Select, CSwap rely on best-effort optimisation barriers.

The library is formally checked using gnatprove. When contracts are respected, there cannot be any runtime errors.

Some functional contracts try to go a bit further and prove more advanced behaviours (WIP).

Tests are implemented in ./tests/src/. Run them (UNIX only) with

cd tests
./run.sh
