merge-input-shares
The aim of the merge-input-shares
command is to take input shares originating from multiple parties and merge them into a single input share file to be used for witness generation.
A use case for this would be to have multiple parties provide different parts of the input to the MPC computation parties.
Example
co-circom merge-input-shares --inputs test_vectors/multiplier2/input0.json.0.shared --inputs test_vectors/multiplier2/input1.json.0.shared --protocol REP3 --curve BN254 --out test_vectors/multiplier2/input.json.0.shared
The above command takes the two input shares input0.json.0.shared
and input1.json.0.shared
(note both are intended for party 0) and combines them into a single input share input.json.0.shared
.
