An implementation of the Groth-Sahai NIZK protocol
This is an experimental library and is only at its first version. The API could still be updated in the near future. I cannot guarantee the security of this library, and one should not use this in production.
- Install PBC on your machine (Hopefully we can solve this in time)
https://crypto.stanford.edu/pbc/
- Setup a shared library
http://gas.dia.unisa.it/projects/jpbc/docs/pbcwrapper.html
- mvn clean test
Generation:
#!java
final Generator generator = NIZKFactory.createGenerator(Role.PROVER);
final PairingParameters pairingParameters = generator.generatePairingParams();
final CommonReferenceString crs = generator.generateCRS(pairingParameters);
final Prover prover = NIZKFactory.createProver(crs);
final Verifier verifier = NIZKFactory.createVerifier(crs);
final StatementAndWitness statementWitnessPair = generator.generateStatementAndWitness(crs.getPairing());
Proof:
#!java
final Proof proof = prover.proof(statementWitnessPair.getStatement(), statementWitnessPair.getWitness());
Verifying:
#!java
verifier.verify(statementWitnessPair.getStatement(), proof)
