Virgo is a doubly-efficient (meaning, for both the prover and the verifier) zkSNARK.
This repo will help you to run all tests that performed in the paper.
Our benchmarks use the SHA256 circuit generator and LANCZOS circuit generator from Hyrax (https://github.com/hyraxZK). The files are in /test/. The files are Copyright 2017 Riad S. Wahby rsw@cs.stanford.edu and the Hyrax authors. We thank the Hyrax authors Riad S. Wahby, Ioanna Tzialla,abhi shelat, Justin Thaler and Michael Walfish for making the code open-source.
We wrote a vector commitment library here.
On Debian based systems, you can run the following command:
./setup.sh
This script will change your default clang compiler to clang-7.
Or:
apt update
apt -y install cmake make git clang++-7 libgmp-dev g++ parallel
In other words, you'll need a C++11-compatible compiler (we use clang-7) (g++ 5, 6, or 7 will work).
The top-level Makefile in this directory will build everything below. Just run
cmake .
make -j4 # for example
cd tests/lanczos
python build.py
python run.py
cd tests/matmul
python build.py
python run.py
cd tests/SHA256
python build.py
python run.py
use sudo if necessary.
Due to optimizations to the system, we cannot process small witness(input). We will pad the input to appropriate size. This will slow down on small instances and produce different result compared to the paper. Large instance remains the same.
