Abstract

We implement the Schnorr protocol in assembler via the Jasmin toolchain, and prove the security (proof-of-knowledge and zero-knowledge properties) and the absence of leakage through timing side-channels of that implementation in EasyCrypt. In order to do so, we provide a semantic characterization of leakage-freeness for probabilistic Jasmin programs (that are not constant-time). We design a library for multiple-precision integer arithmetic in Jasmin -- the "libjbn'' library. Among others, we implement and verify algorithms for fast constant-time modular multiplication and exponentiation (using Barrett reduction and Montgomery ladder). We also implement and verify correctness and leakage-freeness of the rejection sampling algorithm. And finally, we put it all together and show the security of the overall implementation (end-to-end verification) of the Schnorr protocol, by connecting our implementation to prior security analyses in EasyCrypt (Firsov, Unruh, CSF~2023).
