Zenroom crypto VM

Zenroom logo

Zenroom is a secure language interpreter of both Lua and its own secure domain specific language (DSL) to execute fast cryptographic operations using elliptic curve arithmetics.

The Zenroom VM is very small, has no external dependency, is fully deterministic and ready to run end-to-end encryption on any platform: desktop, embedded, mobile, cloud and even web browsers.

Zencode is the name of the DSL executed by Zenroom: it is similar to human language and can process large data structures while operating cryptographic transformations and basic logical operations on them.

Applications

Many applications already include Zenroom and use the Zencode language.

Getting Started

To quickly try out Zenroom using the Zencode language with some examples navigate to ApiRoom and start typing into the browser.

The Zenroom VM runs locally in your browser (needs WASM) and ApiRoom provides various examples to show operational crypto flows.

ApiRoom is also an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and by signing in with a username and password you can save your contracts and download them as a Dockerfile micro-service ready to deploy.

Build

Dependencies: makefile, cmake, zsh, gcc

Optional: musl-libc, emscripten for wasm builds

Use this command sequence:

git clone https://github.com/dyne/zenroom
cd zenroom
make linux

to create the CLI executable in src/zenroom

make linux-lib

to create the shared library in src/libzenroom-x86_64.so

make

to list more available targets

Meson + Ninja

Practical build scripts for release are provided using Meson + Ninja

meson builddir meson
ninja -C builddir

Will produce a zenroom executable and a libzenroom shared lib in builddir.
