Module plonk 

This module provides an implementation of a variant of (Turbo)PLONK that is designed specifically for the polynomial commitment scheme described in the Halo paper.

Structs

Advice

An advice column

AdviceQuery

Query of advice column at a certain relative location

BatchVerifier

A verifier that checks multiple proofs in a batch. This requires the batch crate feature to be enabled.

Column

A column with an index and type

Constraint

An individual polynomial constraint.

ConstraintSystem

This is a description of the circuit environment, such as the gate, column and permutation arrangements.

Constraints

A set of polynomial constraints with a common selector.

Fixed

A fixed column

FixedQuery

Query of fixed column at a certain relative location

Gate

Gate

Instance

An instance column

InstanceQuery

Query of instance column at a certain relative location

PinnedConstraintSystem

Represents the minimal parameters that determine a ConstraintSystem.

PinnedVerificationKey

Minimal representation of a verification key that can be used to identify its active contents.

ProvingKey

This is a proving key which allows for the creation of proofs for a particular circuit.

Selector

A selector, representing a fixed boolean value per row of the circuit.

SingleVerifier

A verifier that checks a single proof at a time.

TableColumn

A fixed column of a lookup table.

VerifyingKey

This is a verifying key which allows for the verification of proofs for a particular circuit.

VirtualCells

Exposes the “virtual cells” that can be queried while creating a custom gate or lookup table.

Enums

Any

An enum over the Advice, Fixed, Instance structs

Assigned

A value assigned to a cell within a circuit.

Error

This is an error that could occur during proving or circuit synthesis.

Expression

Low-degree expression representing an identity that must hold over the committed columns.

TableError

This is an error that could occur during table synthesis.

Traits

Assignment

This trait allows a Circuit to direct some backend to assign a witness for a constraint system.

Circuit

This is a trait that circuits provide implementations for so that the backend prover can ask the circuit to synthesize using some given ConstraintSystem implementation.

ColumnType

A column type

FloorPlanner

A floor planning strategy for a circuit.

VerificationStrategy

Trait representing a strategy for verifying Halo 2 proofs.

Functions

create_proof

This creates a proof for the provided circuit when given the public parameters params and the proving key ProvingKey that was generated previously for the same circuit. The provided instances are zero-padded internally.

keygen_pk

Generate a ProvingKey from a VerifyingKey and an instance of Circuit.

keygen_vk

Generate a VerifyingKey from an instance of Circuit.

verify_proof

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the proof is valid
