Few percent faster. Enables accumulating the current bit's point
representation, whereas the blinding keys can't be accumulated. Also
theoretically enables pre-computation of the bit points, removing
hundreds of additions from the proof. When tested, this was less
performant, possibly due to cache/heap allocation.
Instead of having if statements for the bits, it now has constant time
ops. While there are still if statements guiding the proof itself, they
aren't dependent on the data within.
Relies on the ff/group API, instead of the custom Curve type.
Also removes GENERATOR_TABLE, only used by dalek, as we should provide
our own API for that over ff/group instead. This slows down the FROST
tests, under debug, by about 0.2-0.3s. Ed25519 and Ristretto together
take ~2.15 seconds now.
This does reduce the strength of the challenges to that of the weaker
field, yet that doesn't have any impact on whether or not this is ZK due
to the key being shared across fields.
Saves ~8kb.
Closes https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/issues/17 by using the
PrimeFieldBits API to do so.
Should greatly speed up small batches, along with batches in the
hundreds. Saves almost a full second on the cross-group DLEq proof.
While Serai only needs the simple DLEq which was already present under
monero, this migrates the implementation of the cross-group DLEq I
maintain into Serai. This was to have full access to the ecosystem of
libraries built under Serai while also ensuring support for it.
The cross_group curve, which is extremely experimental, is feature
flagged off. So is the built in serialization functionality, as this
should be possible to make nostd once const generics are full featured,
yet the implemented serialization adds the additional barrier of
std::io.
Increases usage of standardization while expanding dalek_ff_group.
Closes https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/issues/26 by moving
dfg::EdwardsPoint to only be for the prime subgroup.
Collisions were possible depending on static label substrings. Now,
labels are prefixed by their length to prevent this from being possible.
All variables are also flagged by their type, preventing other potential
conflicts.
Modifies FROST behavior so group_key has the offset applied regardless
of if view was called. The unaltered secret_share and
verification_shares (as they have differing values depending on the
signing set) are no longer publicly accessible.
Doesn't fully utilize ec's hash2curve module as k256 Scalar doesn't have
FromOkm for some reason. The previously present bigint reduction is
preserved.
Updates ff/group to 0.12.
Premised on https://github.com/cfrg/draft-irtf-cfrg-frost/pull/205 being
merged, as while this Ed25519 is vector compliant, it's technically not
spec compliant due to that conflict.
Given the lack of vectors for k256, it's currently a match of the p256
spec (with a distinct context string), yet p256 is still always used
when testing.
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.
