Achieves feasible performance in the ed448 which makes it potentially viable
for real world usage.
Accordingly prepares a new release, updating the README.
* Partial move to ff 0.13
It turns out the newly released k256 0.12 isn't on ff 0.13, preventing further
work at this time.
* Update all crates to work on ff 0.13
The provided curves still need to be expanded to fit the new API.
* Finish adding dalek-ff-group ff 0.13 constants
* Correct FieldElement::product definition
Also stops exporting macros.
* Test most new parts of ff 0.13
* Additionally test ff-group-tests with BLS12-381 and the pasta curves
We only tested curves from RustCrypto. Now we test a curve offered by zk-crypto,
the group behind ff/group, and the pasta curves, which is by Zcash (though
Zcash developers are also behind zk-crypto).
* Finish Ed448
Fully specifies all constants, passes all tests in ff-group-tests, and finishes moving to ff-0.13.
* Add RustCrypto/elliptic-curves to allowed git repos
Needed due to k256/p256 incorrectly defining product.
* Finish writing ff 0.13 tests
* Add additional comments to dalek
* Further comments
* Update ethereum-serai to ff 0.13
* Theoretical ed448 impl
* Fixes
* Basic tests
* More efficient scalarmul
Precomputes a table to minimize additions required.
* Add a torsion test
* Split into a constant and variable time backend
The variable time one is still far too slow, at 53s for the tests (~5s a
scalarmul). It should be usable as a PoC though.
* Rename unsafe Ed448
It's not only unworthy of the Serai branding and deserves more clarity
in the name.
* Add wide reduction to ed448
* Add Zeroize to Ed448
* Rename Ed448 group.rs to point.rs
* Minor lint to FROST
* Ed448 ciphersuite with 8032 test vector
* Macro out the backend fields
* Slight efficiency improvement to point decompression
* Disable the multiexp test in FROST for Ed448
* fmt + clippy ed448
* Fix an infinite loop in the constant time ed448 backend
* Add b"chal" to the 8032 context string for Ed448
Successfully tests against proposed vectors for the FROST IETF draft.
* Fix fmt and clippy
* Use a tabled pow algorithm in ed448's const backend
* Slight tweaks to variable time backend
Stop from_repr(MODULUS) from passing.
* Use extended points
Almost two orders of magnitude faster.
* Efficient ed448 doubling
* Remove the variable time backend
With the recent performance improvements, the constant time backend is
now 4x faster than the variable time backend was. While the variable
time backend remains much faster, and the constant time backend is still
slow compared to other libraries, it's sufficiently performant now.
The FROST test, which runs a series of multiexps over the curve, does
take 218.26s while Ristretto takes 1 and secp256k1 takes 4.57s.
While 50x slower than secp256k1 is horrible, it's ~1.5 orders of
magntiude, which is close enough to the desire stated in
https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/issues/108 to meet it.
Largely makes this library safe to use.
* Correct constants in ed448
* Rename unsafe-ed448 to minimal-ed448
Enables all FROST tests against it.
* No longer require the hazmat feature to use ed448
* Remove extraneous as_refs
