Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

CoverCrypt   Build Status Latest Version

Implementation of the CoverCrypt public key algorithm which partitions ciphertexts using attributes and allows issuing user keys with access policies over these attributes.

A fast alternative to KP-ABE

CoverCrypt has been designed as a fast alternative to Key Policy Attribute Based Encryption schemes such as GPSW06 (>50x faster).

It is typically used in a hybrid encryption scheme as a KEM to encapsulate the symmetric key of a DEM (AES 256 GCM in the provided hybrid implementation)

CoverCrypt encryption over 1 partition: 
                        time:   [156.28 µs 156.73 µs 157.21 µs]
Found 538 outliers among 5000 measurements (10.76%)
  207 (4.14%) high mild
  331 (6.62%) high severe

CoverCrypt encryption over 3 partitions                                                                             
                        time:   [255.07 µs 255.70 µs 256.36 µs]
Found 364 outliers among 5000 measurements (7.28%)
  135 (2.70%) high mild
  229 (4.58%) high severe

CoverCrypt decryption with a 1 partition access user key
                        time:   [208.39 µs 209.17 µs 209.98 µs]
Found 601 outliers among 5000 measurements (12.02%)
  41 (0.82%) low mild
  139 (2.78%) high mild
  421 (8.42%) high severe

CoverCrypt decryption with a 3 partition access user key
                        time:   [260.87 µs 261.85 µs 262.85 µs]
Found 669 outliers among 5000 measurements (13.38%)
  13 (0.26%) low mild
  160 (3.20%) high mild
  496 (9.92%) high severe

Building and testing

The crate is separated in 3 main modules:

  • cover_crypt_core: contains the cryptographic code for CoverCrypt.
  • api.rs: exposes the public API with policy management
  • interfaces: contains interfaces useful for Cosmian matching those in crypto_base as well as a Foreign Function Interface (FFI) useful to integrate with other languages. In particular, the code in this module demonstrates the use of hybrid cryptography involving ABE and AES and exposes it as a FFI.

To build the core only, run

cargo build --release

To build the Cosmian interfaces without FFI, pass the interfaces feature flag, i.e.

cargo build --release --features interfaces

To build everything, including the FFI, pass the ffi feature flag, or use --all-features i.e.

cargo build --release --all-features

The latter will build a shared library and one can verify that the FFI symbols are present using (linux)

objdump -T  target/release/libcover_crypt.so

The code contains numerous tests that you can run using

cargo test --release --all-features

Building the library for a different glibc

Go to the build directory for an example on hw to build for GLIBC 2.17

Building for Pyo3

maturin develop --cargo-extra-args="--release --features python

Benchmarks

Benchmarking is using Criterion library.

Run all benchmarks:

cargo bench --features ffi

note: unfortunately, we cannot automatically tell Criterion to run benchmarks with ffi feature activated, we need to specify it.

Run only non-FFI benchmarks:

cargo bench

Flamegraph

To generate a Flamegraph on Criterion's benchmark:

cargo flamegraph --bench benches --features ffi -- --bench
