While it was fine as-is, as it only had one variable length property,
this is a bit more robust. Also binds the Curve ID, which should declare
differently even for just different basepoints, and therefore adds two
variable length properties (justifying the transcript).
No functional changes have been made to signing, with solely slight API
changes being made.
Technically not actually FROST v5 compatible, due to differing on zero
checks and randomness, yet the vectors do confirm the core algorithm.
For any valid FROST implementation, this will be interoperable if they
can successfully communicate. For any devious FROST implementation, this
will be fingerprintable, yet should still be valid.
Relevant to https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/issues/9 as any curve can
now specify vectors for itself and be tested against them.
Moves the FROST testing curve from k256 to p256. Does not expose p256
despite being compliant. It's not at a point I'm happy with it, notably
regarding hash to curve, and I'm not sure I care to support p256. If it
has value to the larger FROST ecosystem...
It was never used as we derive entropy via the other fields in the
transcript, and explicitly add fields directly as needed for entropy.
Also drops an unused crate and corrects a bug in FROST's Schnorr
implementation which used the Group's generator, instead of the Curve's.
Also updates the Monero crate's description.
Also updates Bulletproofs from C to not be length prefixed, yet rather
have Rust calculate their length.
Corrects an error in key_gen where self was blamed, instead of the
faulty participant.
Saves roughly 0.8s when running the tests, which took 16.6s and now take
15.8 (5%).
Removes the larger sample size, which replaced the closest selected
decoy with the real spend, per advice of Rucknium.
Adds helper functions to verify and, on failure, blame, which move an
unwrap from callers into multiexp where it's guaranteed to be safe and
easily verified to be proper.
Closes https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/issues/10.
Saves ~8% during FROST key gen, even with dropping a vartime for a
constant time (as needed to be secure), as the new batch verifier is
used where batch verification previously wasn't. The new multiexp API
itself also offered a very slight performance boost, which may solely be
a measurement error.
Handles most of https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/issues/10. The blame
function isn't binary searched nor randomly sorted yet.
Changes the output index to a u8. While it may expand to a u16 at some
point, this can remain canonical using little endian serialization while
dropping the latter byte if it's 0 (or simply only using u16 when it's
actually possible).
Honestly, the borrowed keys are frustrating, and this probably reduces
performance while no longer offering an order when iterating. That said,
they enable full u16 indexing and should mildly improve the API.
Cleans the Proof of Knowledge handling present in key gen.
