| Required dependency | Tested version | Use |
|---|---|---|
| OpenSSL | 1.1.1 | Cryptographic primitives |
| GMP | 6.3.0 | Bignumer operations for GMP-based Paillier |
| Optional dependency | Tested version | Use |
|---|---|---|
| GoogleTest | 1.12.1 | For running tests |
| GoogleBenchmark | 1.6.1 | For running benchmarks |

Building PETAce-Solo
We assume that all commands presented below are executed in the root directory of PETAce-Solo.
To build PETAce-Solo library (optionally with test, benchmark, and example):
cmake -S . -B build -DSOLO_BUILD_TEST=ON -DSOLO_BUILD_BENCH=ON -DSOLO_BUILD_EXAMPLE=ON
cmake --build build
Output binaries can be found in build/lib/ and build/bin/ directories.
| Compile Options | Values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE | Release/Debug | Release | Debug mode decreases run-time performance. |
SOLO_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS | ON/OFF | OFF | Build a shared library if set to ON. |
SOLO_BUILD_BENCH | ON/OFF | ON | Build C++ benchmark if set to ON. |
SOLO_BUILD_EXAMPLE | ON/OFF | ON | Build C++ example if set to ON. |
SOLO_BUILD_TEST | ON/OFF | ON | Build C++ test if set to ON. |
SOLO_BUILD_DEPS | ON/OFF | ON | Download and build unmet dependencies if set to ON. |
SOLO_USE_IPCL | ON/OFF | OFF | BUILD IPCL-based PHE if set to ON, GMP-based PHE if set to off |
Adding Partially Homomorphic Encryption
By default, the Paillier cryptosystem is a generic implementation that uses the GMP library.
For power users who seek extreme performance on supported processors, we provide the option to switch to the IPCL-based implementation.
To use the IPCL-based Paillier, follow instructions of Intel Paillier Cryptosystem Library and install it to ${IPCL_INSTALL_DIR}.
We recommend the commit 495beaad1f6e70741f2b5cf1279cb919fd66d894 instead of v2.0.0.
Build PETAce-Solo library with extra configuration:
cmake -S . -B build -DSOLO_USE_IPCL=ON -DIPCL_DIR=${IPCL_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/cmake/ipcl-2.0.0
