libprio-rs
Pure Rust implementation of Prio, a system for Private, Robust, and Scalable Computation of Aggregate Statistics.
Exposure Notifications Private Analytics
Prior versions of this crate were used in the Exposure Notifications Private
Analytics system. This is referred to in various places as Prio v2. See
prio-server or the ENPA whitepaper for more
details.
Verifiable Distributed Aggregation Function
This crate implements a Verifiable Distributed Aggregation Function
(VDAF) called "Prio3", implemented in the vdaf module, allowing Prio to
be used in the Distributed Aggregation Protocol protocol being developed
in the PPM working group at the IETF. This support is still evolving along with
the DAP and VDAF specifications.
Draft versions and release branches
The main branch is under continuous development and will sometimes be partway between VDAF drafts.
libprio uses stable release branches to maintain implementations of different VDAF draft versions.
Crate prio version x.y.z is released from a corresponding release/x.y branch. We try to
maintain Rust SemVer compatibility, meaning that API breaks only happen on minor version
increases (e.g., 0.10 to 0.11).

Cargo Features
This crate defines the following feature flags:
| Name | Default feature? | Description | Semver stable? |
|---|---|---|---|
crypto-dependencies |
Yes | Enables dependencies on various RustCrypto crates, and uses them to implement XofTurboShake128 to support VDAFs. |
✅ |
experimental |
No | Certain experimental APIs are guarded by this feature. | ❌ |
multithreaded |
No | Enables certain Prio3 VDAF implementations that use rayon for parallelization of gadget evaluations. |
✅ |
test-util |
No | Enables test utilities for VDAF users and VDAF implementers. | ❌ |
wasm-compat |
No | Enables the getrandom/js feature. This is necessary for wasm32-unknown-unknown targets, when in a JavaScript environment. |
✅ |
Features that are not marked as "Semver stable" may undergo breaking changes in future patch releases, as an exception to semantic versioning.
