Implementation of Hades252 permutation algorithm over the Bls12-381 Scalar field.

To generate the Hades252 documentation:

make doc
make doc-internal

Run the following to add Hades252 to the dependency section of your project's 'Cargo.toml':

cargo add dusk-hades

Hades252 has a width equals to 5; it's possible to use a different value, see How to generate the assets.

• p = 0x73eda753299d7d483339d80809a1d80553bda402fffe5bfeffffffff00000001

• Security level is 117 -120 bits of security [NCCG] bits.

• width = 5

• Number of full rounds = 8 . There are four full rounds at the beginning and four full rounds at the end, where each full round has WIDTH quintic S-Boxes.

• Number of partial rounds = 59, where each partial round has one quintic S-Box and (width-1) identity functions.

• Number of round constants = 960

use dusk_bls12_381::BlsScalar;
use dusk_hades::{ScalarStrategy, Strategy, WIDTH};

// Generate the inputs that will permute.
// The number of values we can input is equivalent to `WIDTH`

let input = vec![BlsScalar::from(1u64); dusk_hades::WIDTH];
let mut output = input.clone();

let mut strategy = ScalarStrategy::new();
strategy.perm(output.as_mut_slice());

assert_ne!(&input, &output);
assert_eq!(input.len(), output.len());

• Round constants for the full rounds are generated following: https://extgit.iaik.tugraz.at/krypto/hadesmimc/blob/master/code/calc_round_numbers.py

• The MDS matrix is a cauchy matrix, the method used to generate it, is noted in section "Concrete Instantiations Poseidon and Starkad"
