Warning

This repo is a comment version for wangxiao's emp-ot repo with some demo or test case. Any usage or acknowledgment should be based on the origin project.

For testing compiling, you can just use:

cmake .
make -j4

Protocols

This repo contains state-of-the-art OT implementations. Include two base OTs, IKNP OT extension and Ferret OT extension. All hash functions used for OTs are implemented with MiTCCR for optimal concrete security.

Installation

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emp-toolkit/emp-readme/master/scripts/install.py
python install.py --install --tool --ot
1. You can use --ot=[release] to install a particular branch or release
2. By default it will build for Release. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Release|Debug] option is also available.
3. No sudo? Change CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

Test

Testing on localhost

./run ./bin/[binary] logn

with [binary]=ot for common OT functionalities, [binary]=ferret for ferret specific functionalities, logn as the log(number of OT). The script run will locally open two programs.

Testing on two

Change the IP address in the test code (e.g. here)
run ./bin/[binary] 1 [port] logn on one machine and

run ./bin/[binary] 2 [port] logn on the other machine.

Performance

All tested between two AWS c5.4xlarge intances.

Usage

Our test files already provides useful sample code. Here we provide an overview.

Standard OT

#include<emp-tool/emp-tool.h> // for NetIO, etc
#include<emp-ot/emp-ot.h>   // for OTs

block b0[length], b1[length];
bool c[length];
NetIO io(party==ALICE ? nullptr:"127.0.0.1", port); // Create a network with Bob connecting to 127.0.0.1
OTNP<NetIO> np(&io); // create a Naor Pinkas OT using the network above
if (party == ALICE)
// ALICE is sender, with b0[i] and b1[i] as messages to send
    np.send(b0, b1, length); 
else
// Bob is receiver, with c[i] as the choice bit 
// and obtains b0[i] if c[i]==0 and b1[i] if c[i]==1
    np.recv(b0, c, length);

Note that NPOT can be replaced to OTCO, IKNP, or FerretCOT without changing any other part of the code. They all share the same API

(Random) correlated OT

Random correlated OT is supported for IKNP and FerretCOT. See following as an example. They all share extra APIs The current interface allows specifying the Delta value once and get COT correlation in multiple batches.

IKNP<NetIO> ote(&io, false); // create a semi honest OT extension
//Correlated OT
if (party == ALICE)
    ote.send_cot(b0, length); //ote.Delta is the correlation
else
    ote.recv_cot(br, c, length);   //br[i] = b0[i]\xor c[i]*ote.Delta
    
//Random OT
if (party == ALICE)
    ote.send_rot(b0, b1, length);
else
    ote.recv_rot(br, c, length);    //br[i] = c[i] ? b1[i] : b0[i]

Ferret OT

Ferret OT produces correlated OT with random choice bits (rcot). Extra APIs are here. Our implementation provides two interface ferretot.rcot() and ferretot.rcot_inplace(). While the first one support filling an external array of any length, an extra memcpy is needed. The second option work on the provided array directly and thus avoid the memcpy. However, it produces a fixed number of OTs (ferretcot->n) for every invocation. The sample code is mostly self-explainable on how to use it.

Note that the choice bit is embedded to the least bit of the block on the receiver's side. To make sure the correlation works for all bits, the least bit of Delta is 1. This can be viewed as an extension of the point-and-permute technique. See this code on how ferret is used to fullfill standard cot interface.

FerretCOT<NetIO> ferretcot(party, threads, ios);
if (party == ALICE)
    ferretcot.rcot(b0, length); //ote.Delta is the correlation
else
    ferretcot.rcot(br, length); //br[i] = b0[i] \xor LSB(br[i]) * ferretcot.Delta
