Experimental Go implementation of the [Groth16 protocol](https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/260.pdf) zkSNARK prover & verifier compatible with [circom](https://github.com/iden3/circom).


Using [bn256](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/crypto/bn256/cloudflare) (used by [go-ethereum](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum)) for the Pairing curve operations.

### Example

- Generate Proof
```go
import (
  "github.com/iden3/go-circom-prover-verifier/parsers"
  "github.com/iden3/go-circom-prover-verifier/prover"
  "github.com/iden3/go-circom-prover-verifier/verifier"
)

[...]

// read ProvingKey & Witness files
provingKeyJson, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("../testdata/small/proving_key.json")
witnessJson, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("../testdata/small/witness.json")

// parse Proving Key
pk, _ := parsers.ParsePk(provingKeyJson)

// parse Witness
w, _ := parsers.ParseWitness(witnessJson)

// generate the proof
proof, pubSignals, _ := prover.GenerateProof(pk, w)

// print proof & publicSignals
proofStr, _ := parsers.ProofToJson(proof)
publicStr, _ := json.Marshal(parsers.ArrayBigIntToString(pubSignals))
fmt.Println(proofStr)
fmt.Println(publicStr)
```

- Verify Proof
```go
// read proof & verificationKey & publicSignals
proofJson, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("../testdata/big/proof.json")
vkJson, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("../testdata/big/verification_key.json")
publicJson, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("../testdata/big/public.json")

// parse proof & verificationKey & publicSignals
public, _ := parsers.ParsePublicSignals(publicJson)
proof, _ := parsers.ParseProof(proofJson)
vk, _ := parsers.ParseVk(vkJson)

// verify the proof with the given verificationKey & publicSignals
v := verifier.Verify(vk, proof, public)
fmt.Println(v)
```
