Rust workspace for implementing basic functionality of STAR: Distributed Secret-Sharing for Threshold Aggregation Reporting.

WARNING the libraries present in this workspace have not been audited, use at your own risk! This code is under active development and may change substantially in future versions.

• sta-rs: A rust implementation of the STAR protocol.
• ppoprf: A rust implementation of the PPOPRF protocol detailed in the STAR paper.
• sharks: A fork of the existing sharks crate for performing Shamir secret sharing, using larger base fields of sizes 129 and 255 bits. The fields were implemented using
• adss: A rust implementation of the Adept Secret Sharing scheme of Bellare et al, based on the forked star-sharks crate, using the underlying finite field implementation made available in zkcrypto/ff.
• star-wasm: WASM bindings for using star functionality.

• The create_share function should be called by clients, and creates the share and tag sent in a STAR client message, as well as the encryption key used to encrypt data to the server. Once this function has been called, use key to encrypt the desired data into a ciphertext object (using a valid AES encryption method). The client should then send (ciphertext, share, tag) to the aggregation server.
• The group_shares function takes in a collection of share objects and recovers the key object that the client used for encrypting ciphertext. This function only succeeds if the number of shares is higher than the prescribed threshold.
