she ; Two-level homomorphic encryption library for browser/Node.js by WebAssembly

Abstract

she is a somewhat(two-level) homomorphic encryption library, which is based on pairings. This library supports polynomially many homomorphic additions and one multiplication over encrypted data.

Especially, the inner products of two encrypted integer vectors such as Enc(x) = (Enc(x_i)), Enc(y) = (Enc(y_i)) can be computed.

Sum_i Enc(x_i) Enc(y_i) = Enc(Sum_i x_i y_i).

Features

• supports the latest pairing based algorithm
  • Efficient Two-level Homomorphic Encryption in Prime-order Bilinear Groups and A Fast Implementation in WebAssembly : ASIA CCS2018
• supports Windows(x64), Linux(x64, ARM64), OSX(x64)
• supports JavaScript(WebAssembly), Chrome, Firefox, Safari(contains Android, iPhone), Node.js

Classes

Main classes

• secret key class ; SecretKey
• public key class ; PublicKey
• ciphertext class ; CipherTextG1, CipherTextG2, CipherTextGT
• zero-knowledge proof class ; ZkpBin, ZkpEq, ZkpBinEq

Encryption and decryption

• create the corresponding public key from a secret key
• encrypt an integer(plaintext) with a public key
• decrypt a ciphertext with a secret key

Homomorphic operations

• homomorphic addition/subtraction over ciphertexts of the same ciphertext class
• homomprphic multiplication over ciphertext of CipherTextG1 and CipherTextG2
  • The class of the result is CipherTextGT.

Important notation of decryption

• This library requires to solve a small DLP to decrypt a ciphertext.
• The decryption timing is O(m/s), where s is the size of table to solve DLP, and m is the size fo a plaintext.
• call setRangeForDLP(s) to set the table size.
  • The maximum m/s is set by setTryNum(tryNum).

Zero-knowledge proof class

• A zero-knowledge proof is simultaneously created when encrypting a plaintext m.
• The restriction according to m can be verified with a created zero-knowledge proof and a public key.

Setup for JavaScript(JS)

for Node.js

>npm install she-wasm
>node
>const she = require('she-wasm')

for a browser

Copy she.js, she\_c.js, she\_c.wasm to your directory from she-wasm, and read she.js.

// HTML
<script src="she.js"></script>

A sample for JS

// initialize a library
she.init().then(() => {
  const sec = new she.SecretKey()
  // initialize a secret key by CSPRNG(cryptographically secure pseudo random number generator)
  sec.setByCSPRNG()

  // create a public key from a secret key
  const pub = sec.getPublicKey()

  const m1 = 1
  const m2 = 2
  const m3 = 3
  const m4 = -1

  // encrypt m1 and m2 as CipherTextG1 class
  const c11 = pub.encG1(m1)
  const c12 = pub.encG1(m2)

  // encrypt m3 and m4 as CipherTextG2 class
  const c21 = pub.encG2(m3)
  const c22 = pub.encG2(m4)

  // add c11 and c12, c21 and c22 respectively
  const c1 = she.add(c11, c12)
  const c2 = she.add(c21, c22)

  // get ct as a CipherTextGT class by multiplying c1 with c2
  const ct = she.mul(c1, c2)

  // decrypt ct
  console.log(`(${m1} + ${m2}) * (${m3} + ${m4}) = ${sec.dec(ct)}`)
})

A sample for C++

How to build the library, see mcl.

    try
{
    using namespace mcl::she;
    // initialize a library
    init();

    SecretKey sec;

    // initialize a secret key by CSPRNG
    sec.setByCSPRNG();

    // create a public key from a secret key
    PublicKey pub;
    sec.getPublicKey(pub);

    int m1 = 1;
    int m2 = 2;
    int m3 = 3;
    int m4 = -1;

    // encrypt m1 and m2 as CipherTextG1 class
    CipherTextG1 c11, c12;
    pub.enc(c11, m1);
    pub.enc(c12, m2);

    // encrypt m3 and m4 as CipherTextG2 class
    CipherTextG2 c21, c22;
    pub.enc(c21, m3);
    pub.enc(c22, m4);

    // add c11 and c12, c21 and c22 respectively

    CipherTextG2 c2;
    CipherTextG1::add(c1, c11, c12);
    CipherTextG2::add(c2, c21, c22);

    // get ct as a CipherTextGT class by multiplying c1 with c2
    CipherTextGT ct;
    CipherTextGT::mul(ct, c1, c2);

    // decrypt ct
    printf("(%d + %d) * (%d + %d) = %d\n", m1, m2, m3, m4, (int)sec.dec(ct));
} catch (std::exception& e) {
    printf("ERR %s\n", e.what());
    return 1;
