# ZKP Neural Networks

Prototype of evalutation of neural networks inside zero knowledge proofs using the plonky2 proof system.

## ZKML

To find out more about zero-knowledge machine learning, check out the [awesome-zkml](https://github.com/worldcoin/awesome-zkml) repository we have created. It aggregates scientific research papers, codebases, articles, and use cases in the field of ZKML.

## Potential Worldcoin use cases

[Worldcoin](https://worldcoin.org/) is a [Privacy-Preserving Proof-of-Personhood Protocol](https://worldcoin.org/the-worldcoin-protocol). ZKML could help us make our protocol more trustless, and make it more easily upgradeable and auditabie.

- Verifying that a user has created a valid and unique [WorldID](https://id.worldcoin.org) locally by running the IrisCode model on self-hosted biometric data and is calling [_addMember(uint256 groupId, uint256 identityCommitment)](https://github.com/semaphore-protocol/semaphore/blob/4e6be04729ed2d7e29461a3915877a66a2c9c4d2/contracts/base/SemaphoreGroups.sol#L43) function on the WorldID Semaphore identity group with a valid identityCommitment. -> Makes protocol more permissionless
- Making the Orb trustless, provide proof that fraud filters on the hardware and firmware are applied
- Enable IrisCode upgradeability

## Technological stack

- [Python](https://www.python.org/), [numpy](https://numpy.org/) - Flexible dynamic programming language and the fundamental package for scientific computing in Python -> used to create a vanilla implementation of a [CNN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolutional_neural_network)
- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) - A performant, memory safe, systems-level programming language.
- [plonky2](https://github.com/mir-protocol/plonky2): Powerful zero-knowledge proving system developed by the [Polygon Zero team](https://polygon.technology/solutions/polygon-zero/) -> to create zero knowledge circuits of the inference step of a neural network
- [serde](https://serde.rs/) - Serialization/Deserialization library for Rust

## Build and run

```bash
cargo +nightly run --release -- -vvv --input-size 1000 --output-size 1000
```

## Validate equality of Rust and Python CNN implementations

```bash
# open Python CNN implementation directory
cd ref_cnn
# run CNN model and check result
python3 vanilla_cnn.py
# generate JSON files for the random number generated matrices in the model
python3 generate_cnn_json.py
cd ../
# run Rust CNN implementation and compare results against your previous results
cargo test serialize::tests::deserialize_nn_json -- --show-output
```

- This will run the vanilla CNN Python implementation and generate JSON files for the random matrices generated by numpy, these will be deserealized by serde in the Rust implementation and turned into an ndarray `ArcArray`.
- With this approach we can get rid of any randomness in matrix generation and verify that we are using the same data.
- It also creates a standardized intermediary format that can be understood by Rust to import and export ML models easily from other languages (Python in our case).

## Benchmark Python vs Rust CNN implementations

```bash
cd ref_cnn
python benchmark_cnn.py
# generates matrices for the Rust implementation to use
python generate_cnn_json.py
cargo bench bench_neural_net
```

### Example output

Machine: M1 Max Macbook Pro

- Python: 0.830s

```text
The average time is 0.8297840171150046 seconds for 1000 runs
```

- Rust: 0.151s

```text
test nn::bench_neural_net ... bench: 151,632,316 ns/iter (+/- 1,469,992)
```

In this benchmark the Rust implementation is **5.5x faster**!

## Run tests

Verify that all components of the rust codebase are working fine and that no breaking changes were introduced.

```text
cargo test
```

In order to see output use `cargo test -- --output`, i.e.:

```text
cargo test nn::tests::neural_net -- --show-output
```

## Serialize/Deserialize CNN model

### Python to JSON -> JSON to Rust

Serializing the vanilla CNN model created with numpy into JSON and desearilizing the model into a `NeuralNetwork` Rust object

```bash
# change directory to cnn folder
cd ref_cnn
# generate json file for the model
python generate_cnn_json.py

cargo test serialize::tests::deserialize_model_json -- --show-output
```

### Rust to JSON

```bash
# serializes a CNN model with random weights into src/json/nn.json
cargo test serialize::tests::serialize_model_json -- --show-output
```

### Full circle

Create a `NeuralNetwork` object with random weights in Rust, serialize it into JSON and deserialize back into a `NeuralNetwork` Rust object

```bash
# serializes a CNN model with random weights into src/json/nn.json
cargo test serialize::tests::serde_full_circle -- --show-output
```
