Hello,
I am trying to modify the equality protocol to make it work for primes
congruent to 5 mod 8 (exists for Blum primes).
The problem is that I have an error with the original protocol. It works
perfectly with p = 211 for example. But for p = 367, it doesn't.
Here is the code I'm using to test it :
from optparse import OptionParser
import viff.reactor
viff.reactor.install()
from twisted.internet import reactor
from viff.field import GF
from viff.runtime import create_runtime, gather_shares
from viff.passive import PassiveRuntime
from viff.equality_ohta import ProbabilisticEqualityMixin2
from viff.equality import ProbabilisticEqualityMixin
from viff.comparison import Toft05Runtime
from viff.config import load_config
from viff.util import rand, find_prime
class EqualityRuntime(PassiveRuntime, ProbabilisticEqualityMixin):
"""Default mix of :class:`~viff.equality.ProbabilisticEqualityMixin`
and :class:`~viff.passive.PassiveRuntime`.
"""
pass
class Protocol:
def __init__(self, runtime):
# Save the Runtime for later use
self.runtime = runtime
k = runtime.options.security_parameter
print "security parameter = ", k
Zp = GF(367)
# We must secret share our input with the other parties. They
# will do the same and we end up with three variables
# input is equal to the player id
rand = runtime.prss_share_random(Zp)
#rand1 = runtime.prss_share_random(Zp)
rand1 = rand
print "rand = ", rand, "rand1 = ", rand1
#open rand and rand1 to print their value
open_rand = runtime.open(rand)
open_rand1 = runtime.open(rand1)
temp = gather_shares([open_rand, open_rand1])
temp.addCallback(self.results_ready)
# we test if rand == rand1 by using equality protocol
test = (rand == rand1)
test_open = runtime.open(test)
results = gather_shares([test_open])
results.addCallback(self.results_ready)
runtime.schedule_callback(results, lambda _: runtime.synchronize())
runtime.schedule_callback(results, lambda _: runtime.shutdown())
def results_ready(self, results):
print "ALGO_QUAD temp results =", results
def mtemp(self, temp):
print "local part of shares after callback ="
print temp
# Parse command line arguments.
parser = OptionParser()
EqualityRuntime.add_options(parser)
options, args = parser.parse_args()
if len(args) == 0:
parser.error("you must specify a config file")
else:
id, players = load_config(args[0])
# Create a deferred Runtime and ask it to run our protocol when ready.
pre_runtime = create_runtime(id, players, 1, options, EqualityRuntime)
pre_runtime.addCallback(Protocol)
# Start the Twisted event loop.
reactor.run()
as you can see, I simply generate 2 random numbers, then I test if they have
the same value, and I print the result of the test.
This will work if rand != rand1, but if I set rand1 = rand => ERROR.
This error will only happen if p = 367 (and maybe with others primes, but I
couldn't test them all)
Here is the error :
Unhandled error in Deferred:

I can't find where the problem comes from since I only have the error with p =
367 (and I have the same error with my new protocol for p = 5 mod 8, but I'm
guessing that if I can solve the problem in the existing protocol, I'll be able
to do the same with my implementation).
Thank you for your help,
Jonathan Van den Schrieck
