Frameworks mention "Bristol Circuit Format"--what is this? about awesome-mpc HOT 4 CLOSED

A number mention or have links to a "Bristol Circuit format." - batchDualEx has a Readme.md saying that circuits "Must be in this format", linking to https://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/Research/CryptographySecurity/MPC/. But this link is broken. - TinyLEGO has the same link in its Readme. - DUPLO's latest commit ***@***.*** <AarhusCrypto/DUPLO@0d14ad0>) has the commit message "Added option to use “bristol” circuits as commandline input to mains". I am also somewhat confused by these statements as the main work in MPC that I am aware of at Bristol is the SPDZ/SCALE-MAMBA project. Which as far as I understand is not based on Boolean circuits. Since you are a PhD student at Bristol, I was wondering if you knew whether, at a certain point in time, there was a somewhat standardized circuit format that was used by Bristol's crypto team and others? Is there still a description of this circuit format, and is it still being used widely? Best Daniel — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
