Caution, Warning
Implementation of the zkSNARK Pinocchio protocol from scratch in Go to understand the concepts. Do not use in production.
Not finished, implementing this in my free time to understand it better, so I don't have much time.
Current implementation status:
Usage
zkSnark
bn128 (more details: https://github.com/arnaucube/go-snark/tree/master/bn128)
Finite Fields operations
R1CS to QAP (more details: https://github.com/arnaucube/go-snark/tree/master/r1csqap)
Circuit Compiler
Library usage
Warning: not finished.
Example:
// compile circuit and get the R1CS
flatCode := `
func test(private s0, public s1):
s2 = s0 * s0
s3 = s2 * s0
s4 = s3 + s0
s5 = s4 + 5
equals(s1, s5)
out = 1 * 1
`
// parse the code
parser := circuitcompiler.NewParser(strings.NewReader(flatCode))
circuit, err := parser.Parse()
assert.Nil(t, err)
fmt.Println(circuit)
b3 := big.NewInt(int64(3))
privateInputs := []*big.Int{b3}
b35 := big.NewInt(int64(35))
publicSignals := []*big.Int{b35}
// witness
w, err := circuit.CalculateWitness(privateInputs, publicSignals)
assert.Nil(t, err)
fmt.Println("witness", w)
// now we have the witness:
// w = [1 35 3 9 27 30 35 1]
// flat code to R1CS
fmt.Println("generating R1CS from flat code")
a, b, c := circuit.GenerateR1CS()
/*
now we have the R1CS from the circuit:
a: [[0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0] [0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0] [0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0] [5 0 0 0 0 1 0 0] [0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0] [0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0] [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]]
b: [[0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0] [0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0] [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0] [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0] [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0] [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0] [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]]
c: [[0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0] [0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0] [0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0] [0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0] [0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0] [0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0] [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1]]

CLI usage
Compile circuit
Having a circuit file test.circuit:
func test(private s0, public s1):
s2 = s0 * s0
s3 = s2 * s0
s4 = s3 + s0
s5 = s4 + 5
equals(s1, s5)
out = 1 * 1
And a private inputs file privateInputs.json
[
3
]
And a public inputs file publicInputs.json
[
35
]
In the command line, execute:
> go-snark-cli compile test.circuit
This will output the compiledcircuit.json file.
Trusted Setup
Having the compiledcircuit.json, now we can generate the TrustedSetup:
> go-snark-cli trustedsetup
This will create the file trustedsetup.json with the TrustedSetup data, and also a toxic.json file, with the parameters to delete from the Trusted Setup.
Generate Proofs
Assumming that we have the compiledcircuit.json, trustedsetup.json, privateInputs.json and the publicInputs.json we can now generate the Proofs with the following command:
> go-snark-cli genproofs
This will store the file proofs.json, that contains all the SNARK proofs.
Verify Proofs
Having the proofs.json, compiledcircuit.json, trustedsetup.json publicInputs.json files, we can now verify the Pairings of the proofs, in order to verify the proofs.
> go-snark-cli verify
This will return a true if the proofs are verified, or a false if the proofs are not verified.
Test
go test ./... -v
Thanks to @jbaylina, @bellesmarta, @adriamb for their explanations that helped to understand this a little bit. Also thanks to @vbuterin for all the published articles explaining the zkSNARKs.
