Arithmetic Circuits

An arithmetic circuit is a low-level representation of a program that consists of gates computing arithmetic operations of addition and multiplication, with wires connecting the gates.

This form allows us to express arbitrarily complex programs with a set of private inputs and public inputs whose execution can be publicly verified without revealing the private inputs. This construction relies on recent advances in zero-knowledge proving systems:

This library presents a low-level interface for building zkSNARK proving systems from higher-level compilers. This system depends on the following cryptographic dependenices.

Theory

Towers of Finite Fields

This library can build proof systems polymorphically over a variety of pairing friendly curves. By default we use the BN254 with an efficient implementation of the optimal Ate pairing.

The Barreto-Naehrig (BN) family of curves achieve high security and efficiency with pairings due to an optimum embedding degree and high 2-adicity. We have implemented the optimal Ate pairing over the BN254 curve we define and as:

The tower of finite fields we work with is defined as:

Arithmetic circuits

An arithmetic circuit over a finite field is a directed acyclic graph with gates as vertices and wires and edges. It consists of a list of multiplication gates together with a set of linear consistency equations relating the inputs and outputs of the gates.

Let be a finite field and a map that takes arguments as inputs from and outputs l elements in . The function C is an arithmetic circuit if the value of the inputs that pass through wires to gates are only manipulated according to arithmetic operations + or x (allowing constant gates).

Let , , respectively denote the input, witness and output size and be the number of all inputs and outputs of the circuit A tuple , is said to be a valid assignment for an arithmetic circuit C if .

Quadratic Arithmetic Programs (QAP)

QAPs are encodings of arithmetic circuits that allow the prover to construct a proof of knowledge of a valid assignment for a given circuit .

A quadratic arithmetic program (QAP) contains three sets of polynomials in :

, ,

and a target polynomial .

In this setting, an assignment is valid for a circuit if and only if the target polynomial divides the polynomial:

Logical circuits can be written in terms of the addition, multiplication and negation operations.

DSL and Circuit Builder Monad

Any arithmetic circuit can be built using a domain specific language to construct circuits that lives inside [Lang.hs](src/Circuit/Lang.hs).

```haskell ignore type ExprM f a = State (ArithCircuit f, Int) a execCircuitBuilder :: ExprM f a -> ArithCircuit f


```haskell ignore
-- | Binary arithmetic operations
add, sub, mul :: Expr Wire f f -> Expr Wire f f -> Expr Wire f f

```haskell ignore -- | Binary logic operations -- Have to use underscore or similar to avoid shadowing @and@ and @or@ -- from Prelude/Protolude. and_, or_, xor_ :: Expr Wire f Bool -> Expr Wire f Bool -> Expr Wire f Bool


```haskell ignore
-- | Negate expression
not_ :: Expr Wire f Bool -> Expr Wire f Bool

```haskell ignore -- | Compare two expressions eq :: Expr Wire f f -> Expr Wire f f -> Expr Wire f Bool


```haskell ignore
-- | Convert wire to expression
deref :: Wire -> Expr Wire f f

```haskell ignore -- | Return compilation of expression into an intermediate wire e :: Num f => Expr Wire f f -> ExprM f Wire


```haskell ignore
-- | Conditional statement on expressions
cond :: Expr Wire f Bool -> Expr Wire f ty -> Expr Wire f ty -> Expr Wire f ty

```haskell ignore -- | Return compilation of expression into an output wire ret :: Num f => Expr Wire f f -> ExprM f Wire


The following program represents the image of the
arithmetic circuit [above](#arithmetic-circuits-1).

```haskell ignore
program :: ArithCircuit Fr
program = execCircuitBuilder (do
  i0 <- fmap deref input
  i1 <- fmap deref input
  i2 <- fmap deref input
  let r0 = mul i0 i1
      r1 = mul r0 (add i0 i2)
  ret r1)

The output of an arithmetic circuit can be converted to a DOT graph and save it as SVG.

```haskell ignore dotOutput :: Text dotOutput = arithCircuitToDot (execCircuitBuilder program)

## Example

We'll keep taking the program constructed with our DSL as example and will
use the library [pairing](https://www.github.com/adjoint-io/pairing) that
provides a field of points of the BN254 curve and precomputes primitive roots of
unity for binary powers that divide <img src="/tex/580e7a6446bf50562e34247c545883a2.svg?invert_in_darkmode&sanitize=true" align=middle width=36.18335654999999pt height=21.18721440000001pt/>.

```haskell
import Protolude

import qualified Data.Map as Map
import Data.Pairing.BN254 (Fr, getRootOfUnity)

import Circuit.Arithmetic
import Circuit.Expr
import Circuit.Lang
import Fresh (evalFresh, fresh)
import QAP

program :: ArithCircuit Fr
program = execCircuitBuilder (do
  i0 <- fmap deref input
  i1 <- fmap deref input
  i2 <- fmap deref input
  let r0 = mul i0 i1
      r1 = mul r0 (add i0 i2)
  ret r1)

We need to generate the roots of the circuit to construct polynomials and that satisfy the divisibility property and encode the circuit to a QAP to allow the prover to construct a proof of a valid assignment.

We also need to give values to the three input wires to this arithmetic circuit.

roots :: [[Fr]]
roots = evalFresh (generateRoots (fmap (fromIntegral . (+ 1)) fresh) program)

qap :: QAP Fr
qap = arithCircuitToQAPFFT getRootOfUnity roots program

inputs :: Map.Map Int Fr
inputs = Map.fromList [(0, 7), (1, 5), (2, 4)]

A prover can now generate a valid assignment.

assignment :: QapSet Fr
assignment = generateAssignment program inputs

The verifier can check the divisibility property of by for the given circuit.

main :: IO ()
main = do
  if verifyAssignment qap assignment
    then putText "Valid assignment"
    else putText "Invalid assignment"
