The distinguished point (DP) method is an efficient method for storing random walks and detect collision between them. Instead of storing all points of all kangagroo's random walks, we store only points that have an x value starting with dpBit zero bits. When 2 kangaroos collide, they will then follow the same path because their jumps are a function of their x values. The collision will be then detected when the 2 kangaroos reach a distinguished point.\ This has a drawback when you have a lot of kangaroos and looking for collision in a small range as the overhead is in the order of nbKangaroo.2dpBit until a collision is detected. If dpBit is too small a large number of point will enter in the central table, will decrease performance and quickly fill the RAM. Powerfull GPUs with large number of cores won't be very efficient on small range, you can try to decrease the grid size in order to have less kangaroos but the GPU performance may not be optimal. Yau can change manualy the DP mask size using the -d option, take in consideration that it will require more operations to complete. See table below:
nbKangaroo.2dpBit/sqrt(N) | DP Overhead | Avg |
---|---|---|
4.000 | cubicroot(1+4.000) = ~71.0% | 3.55 sqrt(N) |
2.000 | cubicroot(1+2.000) = ~44.2% | 2.99 sqrt(N) |
1.000 | cubicroot(1+1.000) = ~26.0% | 2.62 sqrt(N) |
0.500 | cubicroot(1+0.500) = ~14.5% | 2.38 sqrt(N) |
0.250 | cubicroot(1+0.250) = ~7.7% | 2.24 sqrt(N) |
0.125 | cubicroot(1+0.125) = ~4.0% | 2.16 sqrt(N) |
DP overhead according to the range size (N), DP mask size (dpBit) and number of kangaroos running in paralell (nbKangaroo).
Note that restarting a client without having a kangaroo backup is like adding more kangaroos, when you merge workfiles coming from different kangaroos, it is also like having more kangaroos.
You can save periodicaly work files using -w -wi -ws options. When you save a work file, if it does not contain the kangaroos (-ws) you will lost a bit of work due to the DP overhead, so if you want to continue a file on a same configuration it is recommended to use -ws. To restart a work, use the -i option, the input ascii file is not needed.\ When you continue a work file on a different hardware, or using a different number of bits for the distinguished points, or a different number of kangaroos, you will also get an overhead.\ However, work files are compatible (same key and range) and can be merged, if 2 work files have a different number of distinguished bits, the lowest will be recorded in the destination file.\ If you have several hosts with different configurations, it is preferable to use -ws on each host and then merge all files from time to time in order to check if the key can be solved. When a merge solve a key, no output file is written. A merged file does not contain kangaroos.
Start a work from scratch and save work file every 30 seconds:
Kangaroo.exe -ws -w save.work -wi 30 in.txt
Continue the work from save.work and save work file every 30 seconds:

Note on the wsplit option:
In order to avoid to handle a big hashtable in RAM, it is possible to save it and reset it at each backup. It will save a work file with a prefix at each backup and reset the hashtable in RAM. Then a merge can be done offline and key solved by merge. Even with a small hashtable, the program may also solve the key as paths continue and collision may occur in the small hashtable so don't forget to use -o option when using server(s).

Note on -wss option:
The wss option allow to use the server to make kangaroo backups, the client send kangaroo (in compressed format) to the server. When a client restart with -wss option, it tries to download the backup. If the specified file is not found by the server, the client creates new kangaroos. There is no need to use -i option here. Make sure when restarting a new job with a different range or key, that the client does not download an old backup. Make sure that when a backup is downloaded, that no kangaroos are created or not handled by the client. This option is usefull if you cannot rely on client side to handle kangaoo backup.
Send kangaroo to the server every 20 second and, when starting, try to download kang.
./kangaroo -w kang -wss -wi 20 -c pcjlpons
It is possible to run Kangaroo in client/server mode. The server has the same options as the standard program except that you have to specify manually the number of distinguished point bits number using -d. All clients which connect will get back the configuration from the server. At the moment, the server is limited to one single key. If you restart the server with a different configuration (range or key), you need to stop all clients otherwise they will reconnect and send wrong points.
Starting the server with backup every 5 min, 12 distinguished bits, in64.txt as config file:
pons@linpons:~/Kangaroo$./kangaroo -w save.work -wi 300 -o result.txt -s -d 12 in64.txt
Warning: The server is very simple and has no authentication mechanism, so if you want to export it on the net, use at your own risk.
Starting client, using gpu and connect to the server linpons, backup kangaroos every 10min:
Kangaroo.exe -t 0 -gpu -w kang.work -wi 600 -c linpons
What to do in case of a server crash:\ When the server is stopped, clients wait for reconnection, so simply restart it, no need to reload a backup if using wsplit (recommended).\ What to do in case of a client crash:\ Retart the client using the last kangaroos backup:
Kangaroo.exe -t 0 -gpu -i kang.work -w kang.work -wi 600 -c linpons
When the client restart from backup, it will produce duplicate points (counted as dead kangaroos) until it reaches its progress before the crash. It is important to restart the client with its backup, otherwise new kangaroos are created and the DP overhead increases.
To build such an architecture, the total number of kangaroo running in parallel must be know at the starting time to estimate the DP overhead. It is not recommended to add or remove clients during running time, the number of kangaroo must be constant.
This program solved puzzle #110 in 2.1 days (109 bit key on the Secp256K1 field) using this architecture on 256 Tesla V100. It required 255.55 group operations using DP25 to complete. This program also solved #115 in 13 days (114 bit key on the Secp256K1 field). It required 258.36 group operations using DP25 to complete.
The picture below show the probability of success after a certain number of group operations. N is range size. This plot does not take into consideration the DP overhead.
The program uses 2 herds of kangaroos, a tame herd and a wild herd. When 2 kangoroos (a wild one and a tame one) collide, the key can be solved. Due to the birthday paradox, a collision happens (in average) after 2.08*sqrt(k2-k1) [1] group operations, the 2 herds have the same size. To detect collision, the distinguished points method is used with a hashtable.
Here is a brief description of the algorithm:
We have to solve P = k.G, P is the public key, we know that k lies in the range [k1,k2], G is the SecpK1 generator point.\ Group operations are additions on the elliptic curve, scalar operations are done modulo the order of the curve.
n = floor(log2(sqrt(k2-k1)))+1
for all i in herdSize tamei = rand(0..(k2-k1)) # Scalar operation tamePosi = (k1+tamei).G # Group operation wildi = rand(0..(k2-k1)) - (k2-k1)/2 # Scalar operation wildPosi = P + wildi.G # Group operation
found = false
while not found for all i in herdSize tamePosi = tamePosi + jP[tamePosi.x % n] # Group operation tamei += jD[tamePosi.x % n] # Scalar operation wildPosi = wildPosi + jP[wildPosi.x % n] # Group operation wildi += jD[wildPosi.x % n] # Scalar operation if tamePosi is distinguished add (TAME,tamePosi,tamei) to hashTable if wildPosi is distinguished add (WILD,wildPosi,wildi) to hashTable found = is there a collision in hashTable between a tame and a wild kangaroo ?
(Tame,Wild) = Collision k = k1 + Tame.dist - Wild.dist
Here is an illustration of what's happening. When 2 paths collide they form a shape similar to the lambda letter. This is why this method is also called lambda method.
