Folded SHA-256 Circuit Benchmarking

This repository contains an implementation of a folded SHA-256 circuit using Sonobe, which performs recursive SHA-256 hashing. The circuit is benchmarked using different sizes of pre-images, and the proving time is measured and logged.

Installation

To get started, you need to have Rust and Cargo installed. You can install Rust using rustup.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

To run the benchmark you will need to install gnu-time:

brew install gnu-time

Usage

The input size is expressed into powers of 2 (2^input_size):

cargo run --release --example folded_sha256 -- <input_size>
