Lifted-ElGamal

C++ Library for the Lifted-ElGamal Cryptosystem

Remark

The laster version is moved to mcl.

Summary

This library provides for the implementation of the lifted-ElGamal cryptosystem with additively homomorphic properties [1] and the non-interactive zero knowledge proof for restricting message space [2].

List of Supported CPUs and Operating Systems

  • Intel 64-bit Core 2 Duo or newer Intel 64-bit CPUs
  • 64-bit Windows 7 or newer
  • 64-bit Linux (tested on ubuntu 13.10)
  • Windows 7 + Cygwin 6.1 (32-bit) or newer

List of Supported Compilers and Prerequisite Tools

  • Visual Studio 2012 + MPIR 2.6.0 on Windows 7
  • gcc 4.8.1 + OpenSSL 1.0.1e + GMP 5.1.2
  • clang++ 3.0 or newer
  • gcc 4.5.3 on cygwin or newer

Installation Requirements

Create a working directory (e.g., work) and clone the following repositories.

   mkdir work
   cd work
   git clone git://github.com/aistcrypt/Lifted-ElGamal.git
   git clone git://github.com/herumi/xbyak.git
   git clone git://github.com/herumi/mie.git
   git clone git://github.com/herumi/cybozulib.git
   git clone git://github.com/herumi/cybozulib_ext.git
  • Cybozulib_ext is a prerequisite for running OpenSSL and GMP on VC (Visual C++).
  • Xbyak is a prerequisite for optimizing the operations in the finite field on Intel CPUs.
  • OpenSSL and libgmp-dev are available via apt-get (or other similar commands) if using Linux.

Installation

Linux (64-bit) or Cygin (32-bit):

  cd lifted-elgamal
  make -j # for debug
  make -j RELEASE=1 # for release
  make -j RELEASE=1 USE_TCMALLOC=1
  • use tcmalloc (optimal) for Linux; sudo apt-get install libgoogle-perftools-dev

Windows (64-bit):

  # for Visual Studio 2012
  open lifted-elgamal/elgamal.sln and build it
  # for Visual Studio 2013
  open lifted-elgamal/elgamal12.sln and build it

Linux (32-bit):

  make -j BIT=32 # for debug
  make -j BIT=32 RELEASE=1 # for release

Prerequisite Files and Libraries for Running Your Application

Linux: * OpenSSL * GMP (libgmp-dev)

Windows: * bin/libeay32.dll, bin/ssleay32.dll
