# Spartan: High-speed zkSNARKs without trusted setup

Spartan is a high-speed zero-knowledge proof system, a cryptographic primitive that enables a prover to prove a mathematical statement to a verifier without revealing anything besides the validity of the statement. This repository provides `libspartan,` a Rust library that implements a zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive argument of knowledge (zkSNARK), which is a type of zero-knowledge proof system with short proofs and fast verification times. The details of the Spartan proof system are described in our [paper](https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/550) published at [CRYPTO 2020](https://crypto.iacr.org/2020/). The security of the Spartan variant implemented in this library is based on the discrete logarithm problem in the random oracle model.

`libspartan` uses [`merlin`](https://docs.rs/merlin/) to automate the Fiat-Shamir transform. We also introduce a new type called `RandomTape` that extends a `Transcript` in `merlin` to allow the prover's internal methods to produce private randomness using its private transcript without having to create `OsRng` objects throughout the code. An object of type `RandomTape` is initialized with a new random seed from `OsRng` for each proof produced by the library.
## Examples
To import `libspartan` into your Rust project, add the following dependency to `Cargo.toml`:
```text
spartan = "0.2.1"
```
The following example shows how to use `libspartan` to create and verify a SNARK proof.
