A Boolean Circuit for SHA-256



As part of the implementation of our zero-knowledge contingent service payment protocol, we produced an efficient boolean circuit for SHA-256. The format of our circuit is the same as the one used in the Bristol circuits. The Bristol page does contain a SHA-256 circuit. However, our circuit was optimized to have far fewer AND gates. We share it here as we think it may be useful in general.
