Micah Zoltu 2c964b3fe6 Removes most dependencies and switches to @noble/hashes.
* @noble/hashes is a widely used and audited cryptography library that is pure JavaScript with no transitive dependencies and no dependencies on NodeJS.
* NodeJS now comes with built-in support for testing, so mocha and chai are no longer required, removing most dependencies from this project.

Between these two changes, almost all dependencies were removed and now there are only 2, including transitive.

# Fork Details
This is a Fork of the version of the snarkjs library that was used in the Tornado Classic UI prior to it being illegally sanctioned and developers unjustly arrested. The only changes are to make it easier to build for browser and reduce dependency tree. You can see the full set of changes at https://github.com/tornadocash/snarkjs/compare/master...MicahZoltu:snarkjs:master
Original README.md follows.
# snarkjs: JavaScript implementation of zkSNARKs.
This is a JavaScript implementation of zkSNARK schemes. It allows the original 8points protocol
and the Groth Protocol (3 point only and 3 pairings)
This library allows to do the trusted setup, generate proofs and verify the proofs.
This library uses the compiled circuits generated by the jaz compiler.
### Tutorial.
A good starting point [is this tutorial](https://github.com/iden3/circom/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md)
Also this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9TJa1hVsKA) is a good starting point.
## Install.
```sh
npm install snarkjs
```
## Usage from command line.
```sh
snarkjs --help
```
Will show all the info in how to use the cli.
## Usage from javascript
### Import.
```js
const zkSnark = require("snarkjs");
```
### Load a circuit.
```js
// "myCircuit.cir" is the output of the jaz compiler
const circuitDef = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("myCircuit.cir", "utf8"));
const circuit = new zkSnark.Circuit(circuitDef);
```
### Inspect the circuit.
```js
// `signalId` can always be a number or an alias string
circuit.nConstraints; // number of constraints
circuit.nSignals; // number of signals
circuit.nPublic; // number of public signals (nOutputs + nPublicInputs)
// The array of signals is always sorted in this order:
// [ 1, outputs, publicInputs, privateInputs, internalSignals, constants]
// returns a,b and c coeficients of the `signalId` on a given `constraint`
circuit.a(constraint, signalId)
circuit.b(constraint, signalId)
circuit.c(constraint, signalId)
circuit.nOutputs // number of public outputs
circuit.pubInputs // number of public inputs
circuit.nPrvInputs // number of private inputs
circuit.nInputs // number of inputs ( nPublicInputs + nPrivateInputs)
circuit.nVars // number of variables ( not including constants (one is a variable) )
circuit.nSignals // number of signals ( including constants )
circuit.outputIdx(i) // returns the index of the i'th output
circuit.inputIdx(i) // returns the index of the i'th input
circuit.pubInputIdx(i) // returns the index of the i'th public input
circuit.prvInputIdx(i) // returns the index of the i'th private input
circuit.varIdx(i) // returns the index of the i'th variable
circuit.constantIdx(i) // returns the index of the i'th constant
circuit.signalIdx(i) // returns the index of the i'th signal
// returns signal Idx given a signalId
// if the idx >= n , it is a constant
// if the idx == -1, the signal does not exist
circuit.getSignalIdx(name);
// returns an array aliases names of the i'th signal
circuit.signalNames(i)
// input is a key value object where keys are the signal names
// of all the inputs (public and private)
// returns an array of values representing the witness
circuit.calculateWitness(input)
```
### Trusted setup.
```js
const setup = zkSnark.setup(circuit);
fs.writeFileSync("myCircuit.vk_proof", JSON.stringify(setup.vk_proof), "utf8");
fs.writeFileSync("myCircuit.vk_verifier", JSON.stringify(setup.vk_verifier), "utf8");
setup.toxic // Must be discarded.
```
### Generate proof.
```js
const circuitDef = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("myCircuit.cir", "utf8"));
const circuit = new zkSnark.Circuit(circuitDef);
const input = {
"main.pubIn1": "123",
"main.out1": "456"
}
const witness = circuit.calculateWitness(input);
const vk_proof = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("myCircuit.vk_proof", "utf8"));
const {proof, publicSignals} = zkSnark.genProof(vk_proof, witness);
```
### Verifier.
```js
const vk_verifier = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("myCircuit.vk_verifier", "utf8"));
if (zkSnark.isValid(vk_verifier, proof, publicSignals)) {
console.log("The proof is valid");
} else {
console.log("The proof is not valid");
}
```
