APRICOT OT Extension

Implementation of the actively secure OT extension protocol by Keller, Orsini and Scholl.

Requirements:

  • GCC and CPU supporting PCLMUL, AES-NI, and SSE4.1.

Instructions:

  • If the SimpleOT directory is empty, run:
git submodule init
git submodule update
  • Run make ot.x
  • Run ot.x -p 0 and then ot.x -p 1 to run the OT extension locally between two parties
  • For a full list of possible options, run ot.x
  • We have measured 69 seconds on a local link with -n 1000000000 -l 100 -x 50

Further comments:

  • OTExtensionWithMatrix (used by default) is the optimized extension for 128-bit OT. OTExtension is slower but more flexible.
  • Base OTs use the SimpleOT library by Orlandi and Tung.
  • ot-check.x allows to check the output of ot.x.
  • ot-bitmatrix.x is a unit test for the BitMatrix class.
  • This has only been tested on Linux.
  • Parts of the code use a C implementation of AES, which has been removed.
