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.
