There's two ways which this could be tested.
1) Preprocess not taking in an arbitrary RNG item, yet the relevant bytes
This would be an unsafe level of refactoring, in my opinion.
2) Test random_nonce and test the passed in RNG eventually ends up at
random_nonce.
This takes the latter route, both verifying random_nonce meets the vectors
and that the FROST machine calls random_nonce properly.
The audit recommends checking failure cases for from_bytes,
from_bytes_unechecked, and from_repr. This isn't feasible.
from_bytes is allowed to have non-canonical values. [0xff; 32] may accordingly
be a valid point for non-SEC1-encoded curves.
from_bytes_unchecked doesn't have a defined failure mode, and by name,
unchecked, shouldn't necessarily fail. The audit acknowledges the tests should
test for whatever result is 'appropriate', yet any result which isn't a failure
on a valid element is appropriate.
from_repr must be canonical, yet for a binary field of 2^n where n % 8 == 0, a
[0xff; n / 8] repr would be valid.

3.4.3 actually describes getting rid of DLEqProof for a thin wrapper around
MultiDLEqProof. That can't be done due to DLEqProof not requiring the std
features, enabling Vecs, which MultiDLEqProof relies on.
Merging the verification statement does simplify the code a bit. While merging
the proof could also be, it has much less value due to the simplicity of
proving (nonce * G, scalar * G).
This will only be called with 0 if the code fails to do proper screening of its
arguments. If such a flaw is present, the DKG lib is critically broken (as this
function isn't public). If it was allowed to continue executing, it'd reveal
the secret share.
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...
The prior one did 64 scalar additions for Ed25519. The new one does 8.
This was optimized by instead of parsing byte-by-byte, u64-by-u64.
Improves perf by ~10-15%.
* 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
While the previous construction achieved n/2 average detection,
this will run in log2(n). Unfortunately, the need to keep entropy
around (or take in an RNG here) remains.
Technically, non-0-amount outputs can still appear and this considered them
as part of the global 0-amount pool. Now, only outputs which are 0-amount are
counted.
* 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
