This is an implementation of the threshold decryption protocol only. For distributed key generation, a protocol like Diogenes (paper, implementation) should be used.
It is worth mentioning that we also support the trusted dealer setting for which one can see examples in our testing &
benchmarking code that uses secret_sharing/shamir to deal a secret.
This implementation relies on crypto_bigint for constant-time big
integer arithmetics whenever dealing with key material or any other secret information.
We have gone through a rigorous internal auditing process throughout development, requiring the approval of two additional cryptographers and one additional programmer in every pull request. That being said, this code has not been audited by a third party yet; use it at your own risk.
This code has no official releases yet, and we reserve the right to change some of the public API until then.
Our code achieves unprecedented scale & performance, with a throughput of about 50 and 3.6 decryptions per second, when run over a network of 100 and 1000 parties, respectively.
We have set up an automated GitHub action for benchmarking over an EC2 C6i machine, the result of which could be viewed here.
With the parallel feature, we rely on rayon for data parallelism, which, as
shown theoretically in the paper and experimentally, works extremely well in this scheme.
