## Curve parameters
|
|
|
|
The BLS12-381 curve parameters are defined [here](https://z.cash/blog/new-snark-curve).
|
|
|
|
## Point representations
|
|
|
|
We represent points in the groups G1 and G2 following [zkcrypto/pairing](https://github.com/zkcrypto/pairing/tree/master/src/bls12_381). We denote by `q` the field modulus and by `i` the imaginary unit.
|
|
|
|
### G1 points
|
|
|
|
A point in G1 is represented as a 384-bit integer `z` decomposed as a 381-bit integer `x` and three 1-bit flags in the top bits:
|
|
|
|
* `x = z % 2**381`
|
|
* `a_flag = (z % 2**382) // 2**381`
|
|
* `b_flag = (z % 2**383) // 2**382`
|
|
* `c_flag = (z % 2**384) // 2**383`
|
|
|
|
Respecting bit ordering, `z` is decomposed as `(c_flag, b_flag, a_flag, x)`.
|
|
|
|
We require:
|
|
|
|
* `x < q`
|
|
* `c_flag == 1`
|
|
* if `b_flag == 1` then `a_flag == x == 0` and `z` represents the point at infinity
|
|
* if `b_flag == 0` then `z` represents the point `(x, y)` where `y` is the valid coordinate such that `(y * 2) // q == a_flag`
|
|
|
|
### G2 points
|
|
|
|
A point in G2 is represented as a pair of 384-bit integers `(z1, z2)`. We decompose `z1` as above into `x1`, `a_flag1`, `b_flag1`, `c_flag1` and `z2` into `x2`, `a_flag2`, `b_flag2`, `c_flag2`.
|
|
|
|
We require:
|
|
|
|
* `x1 < q` and `x2 < q`
|
|
* `a_flag2 == b_flag2 == c_flag2 == 0`
|
|
* `c_flag1 == 1`
|
|
* if `b_flag1 == 1` then `a_flag1 == x1 == x2 == 0` and `(z1, z2)` represents the point at infinity
|
|
* if `b_flag1 == 0` then `(z1, z2)` represents the point `(x1 * i + x2, y)` where `y` is the valid coordinate such that the imaginary part `y_im` of `y` satisfies `(y_im * 2) // q == a_flag1`
|
|
|
|
## Helpers
|
|
|
|
### `hash_to_G2`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
G2_cofactor = 305502333931268344200999753193121504214466019254188142667664032982267604182971884026507427359259977847832272839041616661285803823378372096355777062779109
|
|
q = 4002409555221667393417789825735904156556882819939007885332058136124031650490837864442687629129015664037894272559787
|
|
|
|
def hash_to_G2(message: bytes32, domain: uint64) -> [uint384]:
|
|
# Initial candidate x coordinate
|
|
x_re = int.from_bytes(hash(message + bytes8(domain) + b'\x01'), 'big')
|
|
x_im = int.from_bytes(hash(message + bytes8(domain) + b'\x02'), 'big')
|
|
x_coordinate = Fq2([x_re, x_im]) # x = x_re + i * x_im
|
|
|
|
# Test candidate y coordinates until a one is found
|
|
while 1:
|
|
y_coordinate_squared = x_coordinate ** 3 + Fq2([4, 4]) # The curve is y^2 = x^3 + 4(i + 1)
|
|
y_coordinate = modular_squareroot(y_coordinate_squared)
|
|
if y_coordinate is not None: # Check if quadratic residue found
|
|
return multiply_in_G2((x_coordinate, y_coordinate), G2_cofactor)
|
|
x_coordinate += Fq2([1, 0]) # Add 1 and try again
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `modular_squareroot`
|
|
|
|
`modular_squareroot(x)` returns a solution `y` to `y**2 % q == x`, and `None` if none exists. If there are two solutions the one with higher imaginary component is favored; if both solutions have equal imaginary component the one with higher real component is favored (note that this is equivalent to saying that the single solution with either imaginary component > p/2 or imaginary component zero and real component > p/2 is favored).
|
|
|
|
The following is a sample implementation; implementers are free to implement modular square roots as they wish. Note that `x2 = -x1` is an _additive modular inverse_ so real and imaginary coefficients remain in `[0 .. q-1]`. `coerce_to_int(element: Fq) -> int` is a function that takes Fq element `element` (ie. integers `mod q`) and converts it to a regular integer.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
Fq2_order = q ** 2 - 1
|
|
eighth_roots_of_unity = [Fq2([1,1]) ** ((Fq2_order * k) // 8) for k in range(8)]
|
|
|
|
def modular_squareroot(value: Fq2) -> Fq2:
|
|
candidate_squareroot = value ** ((Fq2_order + 8) // 16)
|
|
check = candidate_squareroot ** 2 / value
|
|
if check in eighth_roots_of_unity[::2]:
|
|
x1 = candidate_squareroot / eighth_roots_of_unity[eighth_roots_of_unity.index(check) // 2]
|
|
x2 = -x1
|
|
x1_re, x1_im = coerce_to_int(x1.coeffs[0]), coerce_to_int(x1.coeffs[1])
|
|
x2_re, x2_im = coerce_to_int(x2.coeffs[0]), coerce_to_int(x2.coeffs[1])
|
|
return x1 if (x1_im > x2_im or (x1_im == x2_im and x1_re > x2_re)) else x2
|
|
return None
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Aggregation operations
|
|
|
|
### `bls_aggregate_pubkeys`
|
|
|
|
Let `bls_aggregate_pubkeys(pubkeys: List[Bytes48]) -> Bytes48` return `pubkeys[0] + .... + pubkeys[len(pubkeys)-1]`, where `+` is the elliptic curve addition operation over the G1 curve.
|
|
|
|
### `bls_aggregate_signatures`
|
|
|
|
Let `bls_aggregate_signatures(signatures: List[Bytes96]) -> Bytes96` return `signatures[0] + .... + signatures[len(signatures)-1]`, where `+` is the elliptic curve addition operation over the G2 curve.
|
|
|
|
## Signature verification
|
|
|
|
In the following `e` is the pairing function and `g` is the G1 generator with the following coordinates (see [here](https://github.com/zkcrypto/pairing/tree/master/src/bls12_381#g1)):
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
g_x = 3685416753713387016781088315183077757961620795782546409894578378688607592378376318836054947676345821548104185464507
|
|
g_y = 1339506544944476473020471379941921221584933875938349620426543736416511423956333506472724655353366534992391756441569
|
|
g = Fq2([g_x, g_y])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `bls_verify`
|
|
|
|
Let `bls_verify(pubkey: Bytes48, message: Bytes32, signature: Bytes96, domain: uint64) -> bool`:
|
|
|
|
* Verify that `pubkey` is a valid G1 point.
|
|
* Verify that `signature` is a valid G2 point.
|
|
* Verify that `e(pubkey, hash_to_G2(message, domain)) == e(g, signature)`.
|
|
|
|
### `bls_verify_multiple`
|
|
|
|
Let `bls_verify_multiple(pubkeys: List[Bytes48], messages: List[Bytes32], signature: Bytes96, domain: uint64) -> bool`:
|
|
|
|
* Verify that each `pubkey` in `pubkeys` is a valid G1 point.
|
|
* Verify that `signature` is a valid G2 point.
|
|
* Verify that `len(pubkeys)` equals `len(messages)` and denote the length `L`.
|
|
* Verify that `e(pubkeys[0], hash_to_G2(messages[0], domain)) * ... * e(pubkeys[L-1], hash_to_G2(messages[L-1], domain)) == e(g, signature)`.
