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.
The new `FieldElement::from_u256` is sufficient to load an unreduced value. The
caller can perform the square themselves, without us explicitly supporting this
special case.
Updates the monero-oxide version used to one which no longer uses
`FieldElement::from_square` (as their use is why it was added).
If a crate has std set, it should enable std for all dependencies in order to
let them properly select which algorithms to use. Some crates fallback to
slower/worse algorithms on no-std.
Also more aggressively sets default-features = false leading to a *10%*
reduction in the amount of crates coordinator builds.
This will effectively add msrv protections to the entire project as almost
everything grabs from these.
Doesn't add msrv to coins as coins/bitcoin is still frozen.
Doesn't add msrv to services since cargo msrv doesn't play nice with anything
importing the runtime.
* Partial move to ff 0.13
It turns out the newly released k256 0.12 isn't on ff 0.13, preventing further
work at this time.
* Update all crates to work on ff 0.13
The provided curves still need to be expanded to fit the new API.
* Finish adding dalek-ff-group ff 0.13 constants
* Correct FieldElement::product definition
Also stops exporting macros.
* Test most new parts of ff 0.13
* Additionally test ff-group-tests with BLS12-381 and the pasta curves
We only tested curves from RustCrypto. Now we test a curve offered by zk-crypto,
the group behind ff/group, and the pasta curves, which is by Zcash (though
Zcash developers are also behind zk-crypto).
* Finish Ed448
Fully specifies all constants, passes all tests in ff-group-tests, and finishes moving to ff-0.13.
* Add RustCrypto/elliptic-curves to allowed git repos
Needed due to k256/p256 incorrectly defining product.
* Finish writing ff 0.13 tests
* Add additional comments to dalek
* Further comments
* Update ethereum-serai to ff 0.13
