VSSS-Rust

Rust License

VSSS-Rust is a Rust library providing implementations of Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) schemes. Verifiable Secret Sharing is a cryptographic technique that enables a secret to be divided into shares and distributed among a group of participants in such a way that only specific combinations of shares can reconstruct the secret, while also allowing any participant to verify the validity of their own share.

Features

  • Implementation of various Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) schemes in Rust.
  • Support for Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS) and Feldman's Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) schemes.
  • Generation of secret shares based on user-defined thresholds and total shares.
  • Public commitment generation for the verifiability of shares.
  • Share verification against public commitments.
  • Secret reconstruction from valid shares using Lagrange interpolation.

Installation

Add the following dependency to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
vsss-rust = "0.1.0"

Usage

Add vsss-rust to your project's dependencies in the Cargo.toml file, and then import the necessary modules into your Rust code.

extern crate vsss_rust;

use vsss_rust::shamirs_secret_sharing::{generate_shares as sss_generate_shares, reconstruct_secret as sss_reconstruct_secret};
use vsss_rust::feldman_verifiability::{FeldmanVSSParams, verify_share, reconstruct_secret};
use num_bigint::ToBigUint;

fn main() {
    // Your code here
}

Example

Check out the example.rs file in the repository for a basic example of how to use this library.

Benchmarks

This library includes benchmarks for performance testing. You can run the benchmarks using Criterion by executing the following command:

cargo bench

The following is a brief summary for one run:

Benchmark Time (ns) Range Outliers Found (%)
SSS Share Generation [785.14 ns, 788.13 ns] 1 (1.00%) high mild
SSS Secret Reconstruction [2.2811 µs, 2.2898 µs] 1 (1.00%) high mild
VSS Share Generation [14.999 µs, 15.004 µs] 11 (11.00%) total
- 5 (5.00%) low mild
- 1 (1.00%) high mild
- 5 (5.00%) high severe
VSS Share Verification [153.58 µs, 153.98 µs] 20 (20.00%) total
- 3 (3.00%) low mild
- 11 (11.00%) high mild
- 6 (6.00%) high severe
VSS Secret Reconstruction [3.6152 µs, 3.6291 µs] 12 (12.00%) total
- 5 (5.00%) high mild
- 7 (7.00%) high severe
