💡 About UniRep

UniRep is a private and non-repudiable data system. Users can receive attestations from attesters, and voluntarily prove facts about their data without revealing the data itself. Moreover, users cannot refuse to receive attestations from an attester.

🛠 Install

npm or yarn

Install the @unirep/utils package with npm:

npm i @unirep/utils

or yarn:

yarn add @unirep/utils

📔 Usage

IncrementalMerkleTree

Create a IncrementalMerkleTree

import { IncrementalMerkleTree } from '@unirep/utils'

const depth = 4
// initialize incremental merkle tree with depth 4
const tree = new IncrementalMerkleTree(depth)

Get tree root

const root = tree.root

Insert leaf

const leaf = 1
tree.insert(leaf)

Generate merkle proof

const index = 0
const proof = tree.createProof(index)

Verify merkle proof

const isValid = tree.verifyProof(proof)

Crypto utils

genRandomSalt

import { genRandomSalt } from '@unirep/utils'

// generate random bigint
const salt = genRandomSalt()

genEpochKey

import { Identity } from '@semaphore-protocol/identity'
import { genEpochKey } from '@unirep/utils'

const id = new Identity()
const attesterId = '0x1234'
const epoch = 0
const nonce = 0
const chainId = 1
const epochKey = genEpochKey(
id.secret,
attesterId,
epoch,
nonce,
chainId
)

genIdentityHash

import { Identity } from '@semaphore-protocol/identity'
import { genIdentityHash } from '@unirep/utils'

const id = new Identity()
const attesterId = '0x1234'
const epoch = 0
const chainId = 1
const idHash = genIdentityHash(
id.secret,
attesterId,
epoch,
chainId
)

genStateTreeLeaf

import { Identity } from '@semaphore-protocol/identity'
import { genStateTreeLeaf } from '@unirep/utils'

const id = new Identity()
const attesterId = '0x1234'
const epoch = 0
const FIELD_COUNT = 6
const data = Array(FIELD_COUNT).fill(0)
const chainId = 1
const leaf = genStateTreeLeaf(
id.secret,
attesterId,
epoch,
data,
chainId
)

genEpochTreeLeaf

import { genEpochTreeLeaf } from '@unirep/utils'

const epochKey = '0x3456'
const FIELD_COUNT = 6
const data = Array(FIELD_COUNT).fill(0)
const leaf = genEpochTreeLeaf(
epochKey,
data
)

stringifyBigInts/unstringifyBigInts

import { stringifyBigInts, unstringifyBigInts } from '@unirep/utils'

const values = {
input1: genRandomSalt(),
input2: genRandomSalt(),
input3: genRandomSalt(),
}
// stringify bigint elements with stringifyBigInts function
const stringifiedValues = stringifyBigInts(values)
// it can be recoverd by unstringifyBigInts function
const unstringifiedValues = unstringifyBigInts(stringifiedValues)
