TinyGarble
=======
TinyGarble is a full implementation of 
[Yao's Garbled Circuit (GC) protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbled_Circuit) for
two-party Secure Function Evaluation (SFE) in which the parties are able to
execute any function on their private inputs and learn the output without
leaking any information about their inputs.
This repository consists of two main parts: (1) circuit synthesis (output examples 
of this is stored in `scd/netlist/v.tar.bz` and will be unzipped and translated in 
`bin/scd/netlist/` after `make`) and (2) secure function evaluation.
Circuit synthesis is partially described in TinyGarble paper in IEEE S&P'15 (see
References). It is based on upon hardware synthesis and sequential circuit
concept and outputs a netlist Verilog (`.v`) file (not included in this repository). 
The other part of TinyGarble, hereafter called "TinyGarble", is a GC framework 
implemented based on [JustGarble](http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/groups/justgarble/)
project. Beside Free-XOR, Row-reduction, OT extension, and
Fixed-key block cipher, TinyGarble includes Half Gates which is the most recent
optimization on GC protocol and reduces the communication by 33%.
TinyGarble also includes communication and Oblivious Transfer (OT) which were
missing in JustGarble. Note that OT is a crucial part for the security of the GC 
protocol.

TinyGarble general flow:
1. Write a Verilog file (`.v`) describing the function.
2. Synthesis the Verilog file using TinyGarble's [*circuit synthesis*](circuit_synthesis/README.md) to generate
a netlist Verilog file (`.v`).
3. Translate the netlist file (`.v`) to a simple circuit description file
([SCD](scd/README.md)) using TinyGarble's `V2SCD_Main` and then provide both parties with the
file. (We have done steps 1-3 for a number of functions, and you can find their scd files after compiling in `bin/scd/netlists/`.)
4. Execute `TinyGarble` using `--alice` flag on one party and `--bob` flag
on the other plus other appropriate arguments.

## TinyGarble

### Dependencies
Install dependencies: g++, OpenSSL (1.0.1f <), boost(1.55.0 <), and cmake
(3.1.0 <). On Ubuntu:

* g++:
```
	$ sudo apt-get install g++
```
* OpenSSL:
```
	$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
```
* boost:
```
  $ sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
```
* cmake:
```
  $ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x
  $ sudo apt-get update
  $ sudo apt-get upgrade
  $ sudo apt-get install cmake
```

### Compile
Configure TinyGarble and then compile it in `bin` directory (for debug mode, use 
`cmake ..` inside `bin` directory before `make`):
```
  $ ./configure
  $ cd bin
  $ make
```

### Run an example
For finding Hamming distance between two 32-bit private inputs (e.g.,
Alice: FF55AA77, Bob: 12345678), on Alice's terminal, run:
```
  $ bin/garbled_circuit/TinyGarble --alice --scd_file bin/scd/netlists/hamming_32bit_1cc.scd --input FF55AA77
```
And on Bob's terminal, run:
```
  $ bin/garbled_circuit/TinyGarble --bob --scd_file bin/scd/netlists/hamming_32bit_1cc.scd --input 12345678
```
Note that, it is supposed that Alice and Bob are in a same mahcine
(server_ip = 127.0.0.1) in this example.
The expected output is 13 in hexadecimal which is the hamming distance between
the two numbers. For showing more detailes, you may use `--log2std` option.

### Test
In `bin` directory call `ctest`:
```
	$ ctest -V
```
