This wasn't done prior to be 'leaderless', as now the participant with the
lowest ID has an extra step, yet this is still trivial. There's also notable
performance benefits to not taking the previous dividing approach, which
performed an exp.
This converts proofs from 2n elements to 1+n.
Moves FROST over to it. Additionally, for FROST's binomial nonces, provides
a single DLEq proof (2, not 1+2 elements) by proving the discrete log equality
of their aggregate (with an appropriate binding factor). This may be split back
up depending on later commentary...
* Standardize the DLEq serialization function naming
They mismatched from the rest of the project.
This commit is technically incomplete as it doesn't update the dkg crate.
* Rewrite DKG encryption to enable per-message decryption without side effects
This isn't technically true as I already know a break in this which I'll
correct for shortly.
Does update documentation to explain the new scheme. Required for blame.
* Add a verifiable system for blame during the FROST DKG
Previously, if sent an invalid key share, the participant would realize that
and could accuse the sender. Without further evidence, either the accuser
or the accused could be guilty. Now, the accuser has a proof the accused is
in the wrong.
Reworks KeyMachine to return BlameMachine. This explicitly acknowledges how
locally complete keys still need group acknowledgement before the protocol
can be complete and provides a way for others to verify blame, even after a
locally successful run.
If any blame is cast, the protocol is no longer considered complete-able
(instead aborting). Further accusations of blame can still be handled however.
Updates documentation on network behavior.
Also starts to remove "OnDrop". We now use Zeroizing for anything which should
be zeroized on drop. This is a lot more piece-meal and reduces clones.
* Tweak Zeroizing and Debug impls
Expands Zeroizing to be more comprehensive.
Also updates Zeroizing<CachedPreprocess([u8; 32])> to
CachedPreprocess(Zeroizing<[u8; 32]>) so zeroizing is the first thing done
and last step before exposing the copy-able [u8; 32].
Removes private keys from Debug.
* Fix a bug where adversaries could claim to be using another user's encryption keys to learn their messages
Mentioned a few commits ago, now fixed.
This wouldn't have affected Serai, which aborts on failure, nor any DKG
currently supported. It's just about ensuring the DKG encryption is robust and
proper.
* Finish moving dleq from ser/deser to write/read
* Add tests for dkg blame
* Add a FROST test for invalid signature shares
* Batch verify encrypted messages' ephemeral keys' PoP
* Remove the explicit included participants from FROST
Now, whoever submits preprocesses becomes the signing set. Better separates
preprocess from sign, at the cost of slightly more annoying integrations
(Monero needs to now independently lagrange/offset its key images).
* Support caching preprocesses
Closes https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/issues/40.
I *could* have added a serialization trait to Algorithm and written a ton of
data to disk, while requiring Algorithm implementors also accept such work.
Instead, I moved preprocess to a seeded RNG (Chacha20) which should be as
secure as the regular RNG. Rebuilding from cache simply loads the previously
used Chacha seed, making the Algorithm oblivious to the fact it's being
rebuilt from a cache. This removes any requirements for it to be modified
while guaranteeing equivalency.
This builds on the last commit which delayed determining the signing set till
post-preprocess acquisition. Unfortunately, that commit did force preprocess
from ThresholdView to ThresholdKeys which had visible effects on Monero.
Serai will actually need delayed set determination for #163, and overall,
it remains better, hence it's inclusion.
* Document FROST preprocess caching
* Update ethereum to new FROST
* Fix bug in Monero offset calculation and update processor
Encryption used to be inlined into FROST. When writing the documentation, I
realized it was decently hard to review. It also was antagonistic to other
hosted DKG algorithms by not allowing code re-use.
Encryption is now a standalone module, providing clear boundaries and
reusability.
Additionally, the DKG protocol itself used to use the ciphersuite's specified
hash function (with an HKDF to prevent length extension attacks). Now,
RecommendedTranscript is used to achieve much more robust transcripting and
remove the HKDF dependency. This does add Blake2 into all consumers yet is
preferred for its security properties and ease of review.
