On `core`, it'll use a serial implementation of no benefit other than the fact
that when `alloc` _is_ enabled, it'll use the multi-scalar multiplication
algorithms.
`schnorr-signatures` was prior tweaked to include a shim for
`SchnorrSignature::verify` which didn't use `multiexp_vartime` yet this same
premise. Now, instead of callers writing these shims, it's within `multiexp`.
The `io::Write` trait is somewhat worthless, being implemented for nothing, yet
`Read` remains fully functional. This also allows using its polyfills _without_
requiring `alloc`.
Opportunity taken to make `schnorr-signatures` not require `alloc`.
This will require a version bump before being published due to newly requiring
the `alloc` feature be specified to maintain pre-existing behavior.
Enables resolving https://github.com/monero-oxide/monero-oxide/issues/48.
This helps identify where the various functionalities are used, or rather, not
used. The `Ciphersuite` trait present in `patches/ciphersuite`, facilitating
the entire FCMP++ tree, only requires the markers _and_ canonical point
decoding. I've opened a PR to upstream such a trait into `group`
(https://github.com/zkcrypto/group/pull/68).
`WrappedGroup` is still justified for as long as `Group::generator` exists.
Moving `::generator()` to its own trait, on an independent structure (upstream)
would be massively appreciated. @tarcieri also wanted to update from
`fn generator()` to `const GENERATOR`, which would encourage further discussion
on https://github.com/zkcrypto/group/issues/32 and
https://github.com/zkcrypto/group/issues/45, which have been stagnant.
The `Id` trait is occasionally used yet really should be first off the chopping
block.
Finally, `WithPreferredHash` is only actually used around a third of the time,
which more than justifies it being a separate trait.

Updates `dalek_ff_group::Scalar` to directly re-export
`curve25519_dalek::Scalar`, as without issue. `dalek_ff_group::RistrettoPoint`
also could be replaced with an export of `curve25519_dalek::RistrettoPoint`,
yet the coordinator relies on how we implemented `Hash` on it for the hell of
it so it isn't worth it at this time. `dalek_ff_group::EdwardsPoint` can't be
replaced for an re-export of `curve25519_dalek::SubgroupPoint` as it doesn't
implement `zeroize`, `subtle` traits within a released, non-yanked version.
Relevance to https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/issues/201 and
https://github.com/dalek-cryptography/curve25519-dalek/issues/811#issuecomment-3247732746.
Also updates the `Ristretto` ciphersuite to prefer `Blake2b-512` over
`SHA2-512`. In order to maintain compliance with FROST's IETF standard,
`modular-frost` defines its own ciphersuite for Ristretto which still uses
`SHA2-512`.
For backwards compatibility, we now use as a patch (as prior done with
`ciphersuite`).
Removes `crypto-bigint 0.5` from the tree and shapes up what the next release
will look like.
The prior-present `Ciphersuite::hash_to_F` was a sin. Implementations took a
DST, yet were not require to securely handle it. It was also biased towards the
requirements of `modular-frost` as `ciphersuite` was originally written all
those years ago, when `modular-frost` had needs exceeding what `ff`, `group`
satisfied.
Now, the hash is bound to produce an output which can be converted to a scalar
with `ff::FromUniformBytes`. A new `hash_to_F`, which accepts a single argument
of the value to hash (removing the potential to insecurely handle the DST by
removing the DST entirely). Due to `digest` yielding a `GenericArray`, yet
`FromUniformBytes` taking a `const usize`, the `ciphersuite` crate now defines
a `FromUniformBytes` trait taking an array (then implemented for all satisfiers
of `ff::FromUniformBytes`). In order to get the array type from the
`GenericArray`, the output of the hash, `digest` is updated to the `0.11`
release candidate which moves to `flexible-array` which solves that problem.
The existing, specific `hash_to_F` functions have been moved to `modular-frost`
as necessary.
`flexible-array` itself is patched to a fork due to
https://github.com/RustCrypto/hybrid-array/issues/131.
Fixes `no-std` builds for packages which intended to be `no-std` (without
`alloc`).
Updates a variety of MSRVs to 1.73 due to `flexible-transcript` no longer using
`std-shims` to achieve 1.66 (as `std-shims` requires `alloc`). A future
improvement would be for `std-shims` to have an `alloc` feature and only
provide MSRV shims without it.
The prior workflow (now deleted) required manually specifying the packages to
check and only checked the package could compile under the stated MSRV. It
didn't verify it was actually the _minimum_ supported Rust version. The new
version finds the MSRV from scratch to check if the stated MSRV aligns.
Updates stated MSRVs accordingly.
Also removes many explicit dependencies from secq256k1 for their re-exports via
k256. Not directly relevant, just part of tidying up all the `toml`s.
monero-oxide relies on ciphersuite, which is in-tree, yet we've made breaking
changes since. This commit adds a patch so
monero-oxide -> patches/ciphersuite -> crypto/ciphersuite, with
patches/ciphersuite resolving the breaking changes.
