# WARNING: WIP Repo.
## Fast, efficient and bulletproof-friendly cryptographic operations.
**This repository contains an implementation of the Sonny curve over the `Ristretto Scalar field`: a pure Rust implementation designed by [Dusk](https://dusk.network) team.**
Special thanks to Isis Agora Lovecruft and Henry de Valence for their implementation of [Curve25519-dalek library](https://github.com/dalek-cryptography/curve25519-dalek),
which has been so useful in order to get some of the basic arithmetic ops and the structure of our library.
### Ristretto curve
Ristretto is a technique for constructing prime order elliptic curve groups with non-malleable encodings.
The [Ristretto protocol](https://ristretto.group/ristretto.html) arose as an extension of [Mike Hamburg's Decaf](https://www.shiftleft.org/papers/decaf/decaf.pdf) approach to cofactor elimination, which is applicable to curves of cofactor 4, whereas the Ristretto is designed for non-prime-order curves of cofactor 8 or 4.
Ristretto was designed by the [dalek-cryprography](https://github.com/dalek-cryptography) team, specifically, Henry de Valence and Isis Agora Lovecruft to whom we greatly appreciate their work and dedication.
### Ristretto Scalar Field And Bulletproofs.
Originally designed to abstract _non-prime-order curves into prime-order scalar fields_, the `Ristretto` abstraction would have been far too inefficient to implement for Bulletproofs zero-knowledge proof. Therefore the `Ristretto scalar field` is used to **solve all negative impacts of using cofactors equalling 8 on the Ristretto curve.**. The strategy is to use a _Ristretto embedded curve_ (also called `Sonny Curve`), as the initial operations within `zerocaf` are performed therein. `zerocaf` opens up new opportunities for the use cases of **zero-knowledge proofs** inside the Dusk Network protocol as well as making a _Bulletproof-integrated ring signature substitute possible_, with orders of magnitude performance improvements compared to the fastest ringsig implementation.
Within this library, the implementation of the Ristretto to construct the curve with desired properties is made possible by
defining the curve over the scalar field, using only a thin abstraction layer, which in turn allows for systems that use signatures to be safely extended with zero-knowledge protocols. These zero-knowledge protocols are utilised with no additional cryptographic assumptions and minimal changes in the code. The Ristretto scalar field is Bulletproof friendly, which makes it possible to use both cryptographic protocols in tandem with one another, as they are centric to contemporary applications of elliptic curve operations.

### Encoding / Decoding tools
In order to work with our points along the curve, or any non trivial computuaions, for example those with tough notations - there has been a set of tools and examples which have been created to make facilitate the Encoding/Decoding processes. These can be found at: `tools/src/main.rs`
### Examples

> When performing operations with large values, such as: `2²⁵² - 121160309657751286123858757838224683208`, it is recomended to compute them through `SageMath`, as the user interface adheres to these types of functions. From `SageMath`, they can be converted in a consistent format and easily compiled into Rust.
