Kangaroo algorithm

Prerequisites

Since gmpxx is used for arithmetic on large numbers, you need to install it locally. Follow the steps that are written in this article for installing gmpxx for the desired OS.

Launching a test

To compile the program run the following line:

g++ -std=c++2b -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -o test source/* -lgmpxx -lgmp

This command will compile the code that is located in source directory and create test binary. Move this binary to the desired folder which will be used for launching an experiment with series of tests (see experiment-launcher).

It is possible to launch a binary without experiment-launcher program. All you need is to provide the next flags:

  • -r - number of slog-s to generate (R value);
  • -m - multiplier of an upper secret bound on a preprocessing stage;
  • -i - number of iterations for one loop;
  • -n - number of elements in the table
  • -w - number of steps to find a distinguished point from the chain of generated points (should be equal to the result of powering 2 to some value);
  • -l - a path to locate test logs;
  • -p - a path to locate a generated table;
  • -t - allow to generate and write a table (0 - do not allow, 1 - allow);
  • -s - size of a secret;
  • -b - a path to a binary with secrets.

An example of such a command with all above arguments is listed below.

./test -r 128 -m 0.5 -i 4 -t 800 -w 524288 -l logs/test-60bit.txt -p tables/table_60.bin -w 1 -s 48 
-b binary/secrets.bin

Functionality

The program runs a test with a provided arguments. It launches a preprocessing (if it is indicated by the flag) or reads an existing table by a provided path. Then, it launches main computations and outputs time and iterations results. Main computations are run on secrets provided in .bin file. All logs that the program produces are outputted into stdout and .txt file and could be viewed later.
