dreamATD / pianist-gnark

The implementation of Pianist (a distributed variant of Plonk) based on gnark.

Pianist-gnark

This repo is an implementation of Pianist based on the library gnark.

How to run the code

Install Go

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.20.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz # find the correct package on https://go.dev/dl/.
rm -rf /usr/local/go && sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.20.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

On the same computer

Although Pianist is a zero-knowledge scheme deployed on a distributed system, it can be simulated on a single machine. In the case, the machine creates two processes and exchanges messages through ssh connection.

Configure SSH

1. install openssh-server

sudo apt install openssh-server

2. Configure ssh key

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
ssh-copy-id ${USER}@localhost
chmod go-w ~/
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Clone the dreamATD/pianist-gnark-crypto/ under the same directory as /pianist-gnark.

git clone [e-mail]:dreamATD/pianist-gnark-crypto.git

Generate the ip.txt

Write a file containing the IP information in your cluster. Since here we use localhost to simulate two machines, we set different ports. Here is an example:

localhost:9998
localhost:9999

Configure the path of ip.txt and key files

In the /pianist-gnark-crypto/ecc/bn254/fr/dkzg/dkzg.go, configure init() function by the path of ip.txt, path of the private key used to log in the other machines and the username.

Run the code

Under /pianist-gnark/examples/piano (or /pianist-gnark/examples/gpiano if you want to run the version for general circuits), run the following command:

go run main.go
