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`.
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.
* Add dkg crate
* Remove F_len and G_len
They're generally no longer used.
* Replace hash_to_vec with a provided method around associated type H: Digest
Part of trying to minimize this trait so it can be moved elsewhere. Vec,
which isn't std, may have been a blocker.
* Encrypt secret shares within the FROST library
Reduces requirements on callers in order to be correct.
* Update usage of Zeroize within FROST
* Inline functions in key_gen
There was no reason to have them separated as they were. sign probably
has the same statement available, yet that isn't the focus right now.
* Add a ciphersuite package which provides hash_to_F
* Set the Ciphersuite version to something valid
* Have ed448 export Scalar/FieldElement/Point at the top level
* Move FROST over to Ciphersuite
* Correct usage of ff in ciphersuite
* Correct documentation handling
* Move Schnorr signatures to their own crate
* Remove unused feature from schnorr
* Fix Schnorr tests
* Split DKG into a separate crate
* Add serialize to Commitments and SecretShare
Helper for buf = vec![]; .write(buf).unwrap(); buf
* Move FROST over to the new dkg crate
* Update Monero lib to latest FROST
* Correct ethereum's usage of features
* Add serialize to GeneratorProof
* Add serialize helper function to FROST
* Rename AddendumSerialize to WriteAddendum
* Update processor
* Slight fix to processor
* Create message types for FROST key gen
Taking in reader borrows absolutely wasn't feasible. Now, proper types
which can be read (and then passed directly, without a mutable borrow)
exist for key_gen. sign coming next.
* Move FROST signing to messages, not Readers/Writers/Vec<u8>
Also takes the nonce handling code and makes a dedicated file for it,
aiming to resolve complex types and make the code more legible by
replacing its previously inlined state.
* clippy
* Update FROST tests
* read_signature_share
* Update the Monero library to the new FROST packages
* Update processor to latest FROST
* Tweaks to terminology and documentation
Ensures random functions never return zero. This, combined with a check
commitments aren't 0, causes no serialized elements to be 0.
Also directly reads their vectors.
* 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
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.
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...
Also updates Bulletproofs from C to not be length prefixed, yet rather
have Rust calculate their length.
Corrects an error in key_gen where self was blamed, instead of the
faulty participant.
Saves ~8% during FROST key gen, even with dropping a vartime for a
constant time (as needed to be secure), as the new batch verifier is
used where batch verification previously wasn't. The new multiexp API
itself also offered a very slight performance boost, which may solely be
a measurement error.
Handles most of https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/issues/10. The blame
function isn't binary searched nor randomly sorted yet.
