# Warning and notice
This is an unofficial fork of high-ctidh. This is highly experimental software
and it has not yet been reviewed for security considerations. We encourage
users of this software to assume that there are vulnerabilities until a review
confirms otherwise.
# Quick start
The `highctidh` project offers three compatible interfaces that all use the
same underlying C or assembler implementations:
- C Library
- Python module
- Golang module
## C library
Build and install the C library for each field size with required headers:
```
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
```
After installing the libraries it is possible to use them in normal C programs.
To build and run the example C programs that use the libraries:
```
make examples
make examples-run
```
## Python bindings
Python bindings include the required shared libraries and do not require
`libhighctidh_*.so` to be installed on the system.
Quickly install the latest release from `pypi` in a virtual environment:
```
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install highctidh
```
Build the highctidh Python bindings as a Python wheel and then install it:
```
make wheel
pip install --force-reinstall dist/highctidh-*.whl
```
Build and install a Debian GNU/Linux package containing the Python module:
```
make deb
sudo dpkg -i python3-highctidh_*.deb
```
## Golang bindings
Add the golang bindings to a golang project:
```
go get -u https://codeberg.org/vula/highctidh/ctidh511
go get -u https://codeberg.org/vula/highctidh/ctidh512
go get -u https://codeberg.org/vula/highctidh/ctidh1024
go get -u https://codeberg.org/vula/highctidh/ctidh2048
```
# highctidh improvements
This fork enhances high-ctidh with additional Makefile targets including
building high-ctidh as four shared libraries, one for each key size of 511,
512, 1024, and 2048. Python bindings are additionally added, as well as
optional Debian packaging of both the shared library object files and the
Python module. The Python bindings were made in concert with the author of the
Golang bindings which are now included. Both bindings were built around the
same shared objects for cross verification purposes. Currently this library is
fast on the `amd64`/`x86_64` CPU architecture and functional but much slower
with other CPU architectures. The portable backend was generated using the
`fiat-crypto` project which uses a "Correct-by-Construction" approach; see
`doc/PRIMES.md` for more information. Tested architectures for the C library
include: `amd64`/`x86_64` (with and without avx2), `arm32v5`, `arm32v6`,
`arm32v7`, `arm64v8`/`aarch64`/`arm64`, `i386`, `loongarch64/Loongson`, `mips`,
`mipsel`, `mips64`, `mips64el`, `POWER8/ppc64`, `POWER9/ppc64le`, `riscv64`,
`s390x`, and `sparc64`.
## Golang bindings
The Golang bindings compile and should be functional on `amd64`/`x86_64`,
`arm32v5`, `arm32v6`, `arm32v7`, `arm64v8`/`aarch64`/`arm64`, `i386`, `ppc64`,
`ppc64le`, `riscv64`, `s390x`, `mips`, `mipsle`, `mips64`, `mips64le`. The
`misc/test-golang-cross.sh` script runs tests on the host build architecture
and then attempts to cross-compile for each listed architecture. The
`.woodpecker/golang.yml` attempts to perform a cross-compile for all listed
golang versions and enumerated architectures. Native builds for the Golang
bindings should be functional on `loong64` and `sparc64` but this is currently
untested. Go version 1.21 is used to build and test in
`.woodpecker/golang.yml`.
## Python bindings
The Python bindings build and should be functional on `amd64`, `arm32/armv7l`,
`arm32v5`, `arm32v6`, `arm32v7`, `arm64`, `i386`, `ppc64le`, `riscv64`,
`s390x`, and `mips64el`. Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 are used to build and
test in `.woodpecker/qemu-python-clang.yml`.
Debian packages and Python wheels that contain everything needed to use
`highctidh` build with the `make -f Makefile.packages packages` Makefile target
for `amd64`, `arm32/armv7l`, `arm32/armv5`, `arm64`, `i386`, `mips64el`,
`ppc64el`, `riscv64`, and `s390x`.
## Performance
Rough performance numbers are available in `docs/BENCHMARKS.md`. We recommend
using `gcc` 10 or later as the compiler except on 32-bit platforms where we
recommend `clang` 14 or later.
## Testing
We attempt to comprehensively test changes to this software in a continuous
integration environment. Testing includes `clang`, `gcc`, native builds on
`linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64`, as well as `qemu` builds for almost all other
supported architectures. Please consult the relevant configuration files in
`.woodpecker/` for more information.
To test without installing run the `test` target:
```
make test
```
The C library and bindings have been tested on the following operating systems:
- Alpine v3.18 (musl libc)
- Alpine v3.19 (musl libc)
- CheriBSD
- Debian Sid (GNU libc)
- Debian Bookworm (GNU libc)
- FreeBSD
- HardenedBSD (FreeBSD libc)
- MacOS
- OpenBSD
- Ubuntu Mantic (GNU libc)
- Ubuntu Noble (GNU libc)
## Notes on building
Building on CheriBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD building is supported using the
`gmake` command. GNU/Linux and MacOS are supported with the `make` command.
### Additional notes on building the C library
To build and install we recommend:
```
sudo apt install gcc clang make
make
sudo make install
```
To build and install the shared library files using the
"Correct-by-Construction" fiat-crypto portable C backend:
```
make libhighctidh.so HIGHCTIDH_PORTABLE=1
sudo make install
```
The fiat-crypto portable C backend works on all platforms.
To build and install the shared library files using the original artisanal
`x86_64` assembler backend:
```
make libhighctidh.so HIGHCTIDH_PORTABLE=0
sudo make install
```
The original artisanal assembler backend works only on the `x86_64` platform.
It has been modified slightly for compatibility with LLVM-`as`/`clang`.
Hand written assembler contributions for other platforms are welcome.
By default `HIGHCTIDH_PORTABLE=1` is enabled for all platforms unless
the library is installed via the Python package, in which case optimized
implementations will be used where possible.
## Example C library usage
An example C program that can use any of the
libhighctidh_{511,512,1024,2048}.so libraries is available in
`src/example-ctidh.c`. Use the `make examples` target to build `example-ctidh511`,
`/example-ctidh512`, `example-ctidh1024`, and `example-ctidh2048` programs.
## Example Python module usage
A basic Python benchmarking program `misc/highctidh-simple-benchmark.py` shows
general performance numbers. Python tests may be run with `pytest` and should be
functional without `pytest` assuming the library is installed. If the library
path includes the build directory as is done in `test.sh`, `pytest` or python
should be able to run the tests without installation.
### Additional information
More information about the Python bindings including installation instructions
are available in the `docs/README.python.md` file.
The Golang bindings behave as any normal Golang module/package.
The `fiat-crypto` code synthesis is described in `misc/fiat-docker/README.md`
and the documentation provides instructions for reproducible C code generation.
The original released README is `docs/README.original.md`.
