torchcsprng is aPyTorch C++/CUDA extension that provides:

• AES 128-bit encryption/decryption in two modes:ECB andCTR
• cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generators for PyTorch.

torchcsprng generates a random 128-bit key on CPU using one of its generators and runsAES128 inCTR modeeither on CPU or on GPU using CUDA to generate a random 128 bit state and apply a transformation function to map it to target tensor values.This approach is based onParallel Random Numbers: As Easy as 1, 2, 3(John K. Salmon, Mark A. Moraes, Ron O. Dror, and David E. Shaw, D. E. Shaw Research).It makes torchcsprng both crypto-secure and parallel on CUDA and CPU.

Advantages:

• The user can choose either seed-based(for testing) or random device based(fully crypto-secure) generators
• One generator instance for both CPU and CUDA tensors(because the encryption key is always generated on CPU)
• CPU random number generation is also parallel(unlike the default PyTorch CPU generator)

torchcsprng 0.2.0 exposes new API for tensor encryption/decryption. Tensor encryption/decryption API is dtype agnostic, so a tensor of any dtype can be encrypted and the result can be stored to a tensor of any dtype. An encryption key also can be a tensor of any dtype. Currently torchcsprng supportsAES cipher with 128-bit key in two modes:ECB andCTR.

• torchcsprng.encrypt(input: Tensor, output: Tensor, key: Tensor, cipher: string, mode: string)

• input tensor can be any CPU or CUDA tensor of any dtype and size in bytes(zero-padding is used to make its size in bytes divisible by block size in bytes)
• output tensor can have any dtype and the same device asinput tensor and the size in bytes rounded up to the block size in bytes(16 bytes for AES 128)
• key tensor can have any dtype and the same device asinput tensor and size in bytes equal to 16 for AES 128
• cipher currently can be only one supported value"aes128"
• mode currently can be either"ecb" or"ctr"

• torchcsprng.decrypt(input: Tensor, output: Tensor, key: Tensor, cipher: string, mode: string)

• input tensor can be any CPU or CUDA tensor of any dtype with size in bytes divisible by the block size in bytes(16 bytes for AES 128)
• output tensor can have any dtype but the same device asinput tensor and the same size in bytes asinput tensor
• key tensor can have any dtype and the same device asinput tensor and size in bytes equal to 16 for AES 128
• cipher currently can be only one supported value"aes128"
• mode currently can be either"ecb" or"ctr"

torchcsprng exposes two methods to create crypto-secure and non-crypto-secure PRNGs:

The following list of methods supports all forementioned PRNGs:

• the calculations are done on CPU and the result is copied to CUDA

CSPRNG works with Python 3.6-3.9 on the following operating systems and can be used with PyTorch tensors on the following devices:

The following is the corresponding CSPRNG versions and supported Python versions.

torchcsprng is a Python C++/CUDA extension that depends on PyTorch. In order to build CSPRNG from source it is required to have Python(>=3.7) with PyTorch(>=1.8.0) installed and C++ compiler(gcc/clang for Linux, XCode for macOS, Visual Studio for MS Windows).To build torchcsprng you can run the following:

python setup.py install

By default, GPU support is built if CUDA is found and torch.cuda.is_available() is True. Additionally, it is possible to force building GPU support by setting the FORCE_CUDA=1 environment variable, which is useful when building a docker image.

The torchcsprng API is available intorchcsprng module:

importtorchimporttorchcsprngascsprng

Create crypto-secure PRNG from /dev/urandom:

urandom_gen=csprng.create_random_device_generator('/dev/urandom')

Create empty boolean tensor on CUDA and initialize it with random values from urandom_gen:

torch.empty(10,dtype=torch.bool,device='cuda').random_(generator=urandom_gen)

tensor([ True, False, False,  True, False, False, False,  True, False, False],       device='cuda:0')

Create empty int16 tensor on CUDA and initialize it with random values in range [0, 100) from urandom_gen:

torch.empty(10,dtype=torch.int16,device='cuda').random_(100,generator=urandom_gen)

tensor([59, 20, 68, 51, 18, 37,  7, 54, 74, 85], device='cuda:0',       dtype=torch.int16)

Create non-crypto-secure MT19937 PRNG:

mt19937_gen=csprng.create_mt19937_generator()torch.empty(10,dtype=torch.int64,device='cuda').random_(torch.iinfo(torch.int64).min,to=None,generator=mt19937_gen)

tensor([-7584783661268263470,  2477984957619728163, -3472586837228887516,        -5174704429717287072,  4125764479102447192, -4763846282056057972,         -182922600982469112,  -498242863868415842,   728545841957750221,         7740902737283645074], device='cuda:0')

Create crypto-secure PRNG from default random device:

default_device_gen=csprng.create_random_device_generator()torch.randn(10,device='cuda',generator=default_device_gen)

tensor([ 1.2885,  0.3240, -1.1813,  0.8629,  0.5714,  2.3720, -0.5627, -0.5551,        -0.6304,  0.1090], device='cuda:0')

Create non-crypto-secure MT19937 PRNG with seed:

mt19937_gen=csprng.create_mt19937_generator(42)torch.empty(10,device='cuda').geometric_(p=0.2,generator=mt19937_gen)

tensor([ 7.,  1.,  8.,  1., 11.,  3.,  1.,  1.,  5., 10.], device='cuda:0')

Recreate MT19937 PRNG with the same seed:

mt19937_gen=csprng.create_mt19937_generator(42)torch.empty(10,device='cuda').geometric_(p=0.2,generator=mt19937_gen)

tensor([ 7.,  1.,  8.,  1., 11.,  3.,  1.,  1.,  5., 10.], device='cuda:0')
