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.
- pairing - Optimised bilinear pairings over elliptic curves
- galois-field - Finite field arithmetic
- galois-fft - Finite field polynomial arithmetic based on fast Fourier transforms
- elliptic-curve - Elliptic curve operations
- bulletproofs - Bulletproofs proof system
- arithmoi - Number theory operations
- semirings - Algebraic semirings
- poly - Efficient polynomial arithmetic
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:
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 
.
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.
Any arithmetic circuit can be built using a domain specific language to construct circuits that lives inside Lang.hs.

execCircuitBuilder :: ExprM f a -> ArithCircuit f-- | Binary arithmetic operations
add, sub, mul :: Expr Wire f f -> Expr Wire f f -> Expr Wire f f-- | Binary logic operations

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.
dotOutput :: Text
dotOutput = arithCircuitToDot (execCircuitBuilder program)
We'll keep taking the program constructed with our DSL as example and will
use the library pairing that
provides a field of points of the BN254 curve and precomputes primitive roots of
unity for binary powers that divide 
.

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.
