Cryptobazaar: Private Sealed-bid Auctions at Scale

This repository provides a Rust implementation of the Cryptobazaar auction protocol and, in particular, includes the code for all of the validity proofs, the AV protocol, and the results vector computation.

To replicate the microbenchmarks provided in Table 1 of the paper, follow the instructions below.

To setup Rust, please follow the official installation instructions.

Benchmarks

There are six microbenchmarks, namely for the computation of the four validity proofs, the AV protocol, and the results vector:

• Benchmark 1: Validity proof $\pi_{x_i}$ (Table 1a)

  cargo bench --bench veceq
  

• Benchmark 2: Validity proof $\pi_{r_i}$ (Table 1a)

  cargo bench --bench nonzero
  

• Benchmark 3: Validity proof $\pi_{b_i}$ (Table 1a)

  cargo bench --bench lderivative
  

• Benchmark 4: Validity proof $\pi_{Z_i}$ (Table 1a)

  cargo bench --bench ipa
  

• Benchmark 5: AV matrix $Y$ (Table 1b)

  cargo bench --bench auctioneer_r1
  

• Benchmark 6: Results vector $R$ (Table 1c)

  cargo bench --bench auctioneer_r2
