A (naive) implementation of AES en/decryption for Noir

License: MIT

This repository contains a Noir crate implementing the AES-128 encryption function. It should be noted that this implementation only uses basic optimizations and mostly serves as a comparison point for more Zk-friendly encryption functions such as GMiMC or Hydra.

Performance

A single call of the AES-128 encryption function requires about 380k constraints in the backend, compared to 4-6k for GMiMC and Hydra (which also encrypt 4 full field elements instead of 16 u8s).

Installation

In your Nargo.toml file, add the following dependency:

[dependencies]
aes = { tag = "v0.4.0", git = "https://github.com/TaceoLabs/noir-aes" }

Examples

To encrypt a single block of 16 bytes, we write:

use dep::aes;

let pt = [0x00,0x11,0x22,0x33,0x44,0x55,0x66,0x77,0x88,0x99,0xaa,0xbb,0xcc,0xdd,0xee,0xff];
let key = [0x00,0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09,0x0a,0x0b,0x0c,0x0d,0x0e,0x0f];
let ct = [0x69,0xc4,0xe0,0xd8,0x6a,0x7b,0x04,0x30,0xd8,0xcd,0xb7,0x80,0x70,0xb4,0xc5,0x5a];
assert(aes::aes_128_enc(pt, key) == ct);
