GoFE - Functional Encryption library

GoFE is a cryptographic library offering different state-of-the-art implementations of functional encryption schemes, specifically FE schemes for linear (e.g. inner products) and quadratic polynomials.

To quickly get familiar with FE, read a short and very high-level introduction on our Introductory Wiki page.

Building GoFE
Using GoFE in your project

Before using the library

Please note that the library is a work in progress and has not yet reached a stable release. Code organization and APIs are not stable. You can expect them to change at any point.

The purpose of GoFE is to support research and proof-of-concept implementations. It should not be used in production.

Building GoFE

First, download and build the library by running go get -u -t github.com/fentec-project/gofe from the terminal.

To make sure the library works as expected, navigate to your $GOPATH/src/github.com/fentec-project/gofe directory and run go test -v ./... .

Using GoFE in your project

After you have successfuly built the library, you can use it in your project. Instructions below provide a brief introduction to the most important parts of the library, and guide you through a sequence of steps that will quickly get your FE example up and running.

Select the FE scheme

You can choose from the following set of schemes:

Inner product schemes

You will need to import packages from ìnnerprod directory.

We organized implementations in two categories based on their security assumptions:

Schemes with selective security under chosen-plaintext attacks (s-IND-CPA security):
- Scheme by Abdalla et. al. (paper). The scheme can be instantiated from DDH (simple.DDH), LWE (simple.LWE) and RingLWE (simple.RingLWE) primitives.
- Multi-input scheme based on paper by Abdalla et.al (paper) and instantiated from the scheme in the first point (simple.DDHMulti).
Schemes with adaptive security under chosen-plaintext attacks (IND-CPA security) by
- Scheme based on paper by Agrawal, Libert and Stehlé (paper). It can be instantiated from Damgard DDH (fullysec.Damgard - similar to simple.DDH, but uses one more group element to achieve full security, similar to how Damgård's encryption scheme is obtained from ElGamal scheme (paper), LWE (fullysec.LWE) and Paillier (fullysec.Paillier) primitives.
- Multi-input scheme based on paper by Abdalla et.al (paper) and instantiated from the scheme in the first point (fullysec.DamgardMulti).
- Decentralized scheme with by Chotard, Sans, Gay, Phan and Pointcheval (paper). This scheme does not require a trusted party to generate keys. It is built on pairings (fullysec.DMCFEClient).

Quadratic polynomial schemes

You will need SGP scheme from package quadratic.

It contains an implementation of an efficient FE scheme for quadratic multi-variate polynomials by Sans, Gay and Pointcheval (paper) which is based on bilinear pairings, and offers adaptive security under chosen-plaintext attacks (IND-CPA security).

Schemes with attribute based encryption (ABE)

Schemes are organized under package abe.

It contains two ABE schemes:

A ciphertext policy (CP) ABE scheme named FAME by Agrawal, Chase (paper) allowing encrypting a message based on a boolean expression defining a policy which attributes are needed for the decryption. It is implemented in abe.fame.
A key policy (KP) ABE scheme by Goyal, Pandey, Sahai, Waters (paper) allowing a distribution of keys following a boolean expression defining a policy which attributes are needed for the decryption. It is implemented in abe.gpsw.

Configure selected scheme

All GoFE schemes are implemented as Go structs with (at least logically) similar APIs. So the first thing we need to do is to create a scheme instance by instantiating the appropriate struct. For this step, we need to pass in some configuration, e.g. values of parameters for the selected scheme.

Let's say we selected a simple.DDH scheme. We create a new scheme instance with:

scheme, _ := simple.NewDDH(5, 128, big.NewInt(1000))

In the line above, the first argument is length of input vectors x and y, the second argument is bit length of prime modulus p (because this particular scheme operates in the ℤ_p group), and the last argument represents the upper bound for elements of input vectors.

However, configuration parameters for different FE schemes vary quite a bit. Please refer to library documentation regarding the meaning of parameters for specific schemes. For now, examples and reasonable defaults can be found in the test code.

After you successfully created a FE scheme instance, you can call its methods for:

generation of (secret and public) master keys,
derivation of functional encryption key,
encryption, and
decryption.

Prepare input data

Vectors and matrices

All GoFE chemes rely on vectors (or matrices) of big integer (*big.Int) components.

GoFE schemes use the library's own Vector and Matrix types. They are implemented in the data package. A Vector is basically a wrapper around []*big.Int slice, while a Matrix wraps a slice of Vectors.

In general, you only have to worry about providing input data (usually vectors x and y). If you already have your slice of *big.Ints defined, you can create a Vector by calling data.NewVector function with your slice as argument, for example:

// Let's say you already have your data defined in a slice of *big.Ints
x := []*big.Int{big.NewInt(0), big.NewInt(1), big.NewInt(2)}
xVec := data.NewVector(x)

Similarly, for matrices, you will first have to construct your slice of Vectors, and pass it to data.NewMatrix function:

vecs := make([]data.Vector, 3) // a slice of 3 vectors
// fill vecs
vecs[0] := []*big.Int{big.NewInt(0), big.NewInt(1), big.NewInt(2)}
vecs[1] := []*big.Int{big.NewInt(2), big.NewInt(1), big.NewInt(0)}
vecs[2] := []*big.Int{big.NewInt(1), big.NewInt(1), big.NewInt(1)}
xMat := data.NewMatrix(vecs)

Random data

To generate random *big.Int values from different probability distributions, you can use one of our several implementations of random samplers. The samplers are provided in the sample package and all implement sample.Sampler interface.

You can quickly construct random vectors and matrices by:

Configuring the sampler of your choice, for example:

s := sample.NewUniform(big.NewInt(100)) // will sample uniformly from [0,100)

Providing it as an argument todata.NewRandomVector or data.NewRandomMatrix functions.

x, _ := data.NewRandomVector(5, s) // creates a random vector with 5 elements
X, _ := data.NewRandomMatrix(2, 3, s) // creates a random 2x3 matrix

Use the scheme (examples)

Please note that all the examples below omit error management.

Using a single input scheme

The example below demonstrates how to use single input scheme instances. Although the example shows how to use theDDH from package simple, the usage is similar for all single input schemes, regardless of their security properties (s-IND-CPA or IND-CPA) and instantiation (DDH or LWE).

You will see that three DDH structs are instantiated to simulate the real-world scenarios where each of the three entities involved in FE are on separate machines.

// Instantiation of a trusted entity that
// will generate master keys and FE key
l := 2 // length of input vectors
bound := big.NewInt(10) // upper bound for input vector coordinates
modulusLength := 128 // bit length of prime modulus p 
trustedEnt, _ := simple.NewDDH(l, modulusLength, bound)
msk, mpk, _ := trustedEnt.GenerateMasterKeys()

y := data.NewVector([]*big.Int{big.NewInt(1), big.NewInt(2)})
feKey, _ := trustedEnt.DeriveKey(msk, y)

// Simulate instantiation of encryptor 
// Encryptor wants to hide x and should be given
// master public key by the trusted entity
enc := simple.NewDDHFromParams(trustedEnt.Params)
x := data.NewVector([]*big.Int{big.NewInt(3), big.NewInt(4)})
cipher, _ := enc.Encrypt(x, mpk)

// Simulate instantiation of decryptor that decrypts the cipher 
// generated by encryptor.
dec := simple.NewDDHFromParams(trustedEnt.Params)
// decrypt to obtain the result: inner prod of x and y
// we expect xy to be 11 (e.g. <[1,2],[3,4]>)
xy, _ := dec.Decrypt(cipher, feKey, y)

Using a multi input scheme

This example demonstrates how multi input FE schemes can be used.

Here we assume that there are slots encryptors (e_i), each with their corresponding input vector x_i. A trusted entity generates all the master keys needed for encryption and distributes appropriate keys to appropriate encryptor. Then, encryptor e_i uses their keys to encrypt their data x_i. The decryptor collects ciphers from all the encryptors. It then relies on the trusted entity to derive a decryption key based on its own set of vectors y_i. With the derived key, the decryptor is able to compute the result - inner product over all vectors, as Σ <x_i,y_i>.

slots := 2                // number of encryptors
l := 3                    // length of input vectors
bound := big.NewInt(1000) // upper bound for input vectors

// Simulate collection of input data.
// X and Y represent matrices of input vectors, where X are collected
// from slots encryptors (ommitted), and Y is only known by a single decryptor.
// Encryptor i only knows its own input vector X[i].
sampler := sample.NewUniform(bound)
X, _ := data.NewRandomMatrix(slots, l, sampler)
Y, _ := data.NewRandomMatrix(slots, l, sampler)

// Trusted entity instantiates scheme instance and generates
// master keys for all the encryptors. It also derives the FE
// key derivedKey for the decryptor.
modulusLength := 64
multiDDH, _ := simple.NewDDHMulti(slots, l, modulusLength, bound)
pubKey, secKey, _ := multiDDH.GenerateMasterKeys()
derivedKey, _ := multiDDH.DeriveKey(secKey, Y)

// Different encryptors may reside on different machines.
// We simulate this with the for loop below, where slots
// encryptors are generated.
encryptors := make([]*simple.DDHMultiEnc, slots)
for i := 0; i < slots; i++ {
    encryptors[i] = simple.NewDDHMultiEnc(multiDDH.Params)
}
// Each encryptor encrypts its own input vector X[i] with the
// keys given to it by the trusted entity.
ciphers := make([]data.Vector, slots)
for i := 0; i < slots; i++ {
    cipher, _ := encryptors[i].Encrypt(X[i], pubKey[i], secKey.OtpKey[i])
    ciphers[i] = cipher
}

// Ciphers are collected by decryptor, who then computes
// inner product over vectors from all encryptors.
decryptor := simple.NewDDHMultiFromParams(slots, multiDDH.Params)
prod, _ = decryptor.Decrypt(ciphers, derivedKey, Y)

Note that above we instantiate multiple encryptors - in reality, different encryptors will be instantiated on different machines.

Using quadratic polynomial scheme

In the example below, we omit instantiation of three different entities (trusted entity, encryptor and decryptor).

n := 2 // length of input vectors
bound := big.NewInt(10) // Upper bound for coordinates of vectors x, y, and matrix F

// Here we fill our vectors and the matrix F (that represents the
// quadratic function) with random data from [0, bound).
sampler := sample.NewUniform(bound)
F, _ := data.NewRandomMatrix(n, n, sampler)
x, _ := data.NewRandomVector(n, sampler)
y, _ := data.NewRandomVector(n, sampler)

sgp := quadratic.NewSGP(n, bound)     // Create scheme instance
msk, _ := sgp.GenerateMasterKey()     // Create master secret key
cipher, _ := sgp.Encrypt(x, y, msk)   // Encrypt input vectors x, y with secret key
key, _ := sgp.DeriveKey(msk, F)       // Derive FE key for decryption
dec, _ := sgp.Decrypt(cipher, key, F) // Decrypt the result to obtain x^T * F * y

Using ABE schemes

Let's say we selected abe.FAME scheme. In the example below, we omit instantiation of different entities (encryptor and decryptor). Say we want to encrypt the following message msg so that only those who own the attributes satisfying a boolean expression 'policy' can decrypt.

msg := "Attack at dawn!"
policy := "((0 AND 1) OR (2 AND 3)) AND 5"

gamma := []int{0, 2, 3, 5} // owned attributes

a := abe.NewFAME() // Create the scheme instance
pubKey, secKey, _ := a.GenerateMasterKeys() // Create a public key and a master secret key
msp, _ := abe.BooleanToMSP(policy, false) // The MSP structure defining the policy
cipher, _ := a.Encrypt(msg, msp, pubKey) // Encrypt msg with policy msp under public key pubKey
keys, _ := a.GenerateAttribKeys(gamma, secKey) // Generate keys for the entity with attributes gamma
dec, _ := a.Decrypt(cipher, keys, pubKey) // Decrypt the message
