Fork

This is a fork of the version of websnark that is used in the Tornado Classic UI. The changes here only seek to remove as many dependencies as possible, and make the project bundlable with a simple bundler like esbuild. A Dockerfile is included to facilitate deterministic builds of the generated bundle.mjs file. You can generate and extract the bundle file by doing:

docker image build --tag temp_image .
docker container create --name temp_container temp_image
docker container cp temp_container:/workspace/build/bundle.mjs bundle.mjs
docker container rm temp_container
docker image rm temp_image

The full set of changes between what Tornado Classic UI usse and this can be seen at 4c0af6a8b6...MicahZoltu:websnark:master, and details about each change can be seen in the commit messages.

Everything below in this Readme is from the original repository.

websnark

A fast zkSnark proof generator written in native Web Assembly.

websnark is used to generate zkSnark Proofs from the browser.

This module generates highly optimized Web Assembly modules for the low level cryptographic primitives.

It also makes use of the Web Workers feature to parallelize the generation of the zero knoledge proofs.

The result is a fast library with times close to libsnarks but fully compatible for browsers.

Usage

You just need to import the websnark.js found in the build directory.

<script src="websnark.js" />

This library has a single javascript function:

genZKSnarkProof(witness, provingKey, cb)

cb is the callback. If cb is undefined, then the function will return a promise.

witness is a binary buffer with all the signals in binnary format. The buffer is packt in 32bytes Little Endian Encoded Field Elements.

You can use the tool to build the binary file from the witness.json file generated by snarkjs.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure you run your setup with --protocol groth websnark only generates groth16 proofs!

node ../tools/buildwitness.js -i witness.json -o witness.bin

provingKey is the binary buffer with the binary representation of the proving key.

Check the tool tools/buildpkey.js to convert a proving_key.json file generated in snarkjs to a proving_key.bin file that can be used directly with this library.

node ../tools/buildpkey.js -i proving_key.json -o proving_key.bin

The result is a JSON object with pi_a, pi_b and pi_c points.

You can use the stringified version of this JSON as a proof.json in snarkjs

Here is a simple example of a web page that loads a key and a witness and generates the proof when the button is pressed.

<html>
<header>
</header>
<script src="websnark.js"></script>
<script>

var witness;
var proving_key;

function onLoad() {

    fetch("proving_key.bin").then( (response) => {
        return response.arrayBuffer();
    }).then( (b) => {
        provingKey = b;
    });

    fetch("witness.bin").then( (response) => {
        return response.arrayBuffer();
    }).then( (b) => {
        witness = b;
    });
}

function calcProof() {
    const start = new Date().getTime();
    document.getElementById("time").innerHTML = "processing....";
    document.getElementById("proof").innerHTML = "";

    window.genZKSnarkProof(witness, provingKey).then((p)=> {
        const end = new Date().getTime();
        const time = end - start;
        document.getElementById("time").innerHTML = `Time to compute: ${time}ms`;
        document.getElementById("proof").innerHTML = JSON.stringify(p, null, 1);
    });
}

</script>
<body onLoad="onLoad()">
<h1>iden3</h1>
<h2>Zero knowledge proof generator</h2>
<button onClick="calcProof()">Test</button>
<div id="time"></div>
<pre id="proof"></pre>

</body>
</html>

You can test it by running a web server on the example directory

npm -g install http-server
cd example
http-server .

And then navegate to http://127.0.0.1:8080

The generated proof can be cut and pasted to example/proof and tested with snarkjs

snarkjs verify
``

## Building wasm.js
