Private Set Union from Symmetric-Key Techniques

Private Set Union

This is the implementation of our paper: **Scalable Private Set Union from Symmetric-Key Techniques **[ePrint].

Evaluating on a single server (2 36-cores Intel Xeon CPU E5-2699 v3 @ 2.30GHz and 256GB of RAM) with a single thread per party, each party has 2^20 items, our protocol requires 239 seconds and 144 MB.

Installations

Building the Project

Quick Installation (Linux)

$ git clone https://github.com/osu-crypto/PSU.git
$ cd PSU
$ bash buildAll.get

If you have any problem, see below.

Required libraries

C++ compiler with C++14 support. There are several library dependencies including Boost, Miracl, NTL with GMP, and libOTe. For libOTe, it requires CPU supporting PCLMUL, AES-NI, and SSE4.1. Optional: nasm for improved SHA1 performance. Our code has been tested on both Windows (Microsoft Visual Studio) and Linux. To install the required libraries:

• For building boost, miracl and libOTe, please follow the more instructions at libOTe
• For NTL with GMP, cd ./thirdparty, and run bash all.get.

Windows:

1. build cryptoTools, libOTe, and libPSU projects in order.
2. run frontend project

Linux:

1. make (requirements: CMake, Make, g++ or similar)
2. for test: ./bin/frontend.exe -u

Running the code

The database is generated randomly.

Flags:

-u		unit test which computes PSU, each with set size 2^12 in the semi-honest setting
-n		log(set size)
-t		number of threads

Example:

./bin/frontend.exe -r1 -n 12 -t 1
& ./bin/frontend.exe -r0 -n 12 -t 1
