Struct fuzzytags::Tag[][src]

pub struct Tag<const GAMMA: u8> { /* fields omitted */ }
Expand description

A tag is a probabilistic cryptographic structure. When constructed for a given TaggingKey it will pass the DetectionKey::test_tag 100% of the time. For other tagging keys it will pass the test with probability GAMMA related to the security parameter of the system. This system provides the following security properties:

  • Correctness: Valid tags constructed for a specific tagging key will always validate when tested using the detection key
  • Fuzziness: Invalid tags will produce false positives with probability p related to the security property (γ)
  • Security: An adversarial server with access to the detection key is unable to distinguish false positives from true positives. (Detection Ambiguity)

Implementations

An optimal sized copy of the tag Compressed u || y || ciphertext Ciphertext is right-padded with zeros to the nearest byte You probably want to use one of the many serde serialize apis instead (see README)

   use rand::rngs::OsRng;
   use fuzzytags::RootSecret;
   let mut rng = OsRng;
   let secret = RootSecret::<24>::generate(&mut rng);
   let tagging_key = secret.tagging_key();
   // extract a detection key
   let detection_key = secret.extract_detection_key(5);

   // Give tagging key to a another party...
   // and then they can do...
   let tag = tagging_key.generate_tag(&mut rng);
   let compressed_tag = tag.compress();

decompress an optimally encoded fuzzytag byte array, returns None if invalid You probably want to use one of the many serde deserialize apis instead (see README)

   use fuzzytags::{RootSecret, Tag};
   use rand::rngs::OsRng;
   let mut rng = OsRng;
   let secret = RootSecret::<24>::generate(&mut rng);
   let tagging_key = secret.tagging_key();
   // extract a detection key
   let detection_key = secret.extract_detection_key(5);

   // Give tagging key to a another party...
   // and then they can do...
   let tag = tagging_key.generate_tag(&mut rng);
   let compressed_tag = tag.compress();
   let decompressed_tag = Tag::decompress(&compressed_tag).unwrap();
   assert_eq!(tag, decompressed_tag);
