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`.
Ciphersuite
Ciphersuites for elliptic curves premised on ff/group.
This library, except for the not recommended Ed448 ciphersuite, was audited by Cypher Stack in March 2023, culminating in commit 669d2dbffc1dafb82a09d9419ea182667115df06. Any subsequent changes have not undergone auditing.
This library is usable under no_std. The alloc and std features enable
reading from the io::Read trait, shimmed by std-shims under alloc.
Secp256k1/P-256
Secp256k1 and P-256 are offered via k256 and p256, two libraries maintained by RustCrypto.
Please see the ciphersuite-kp256 crate for more info.
Ed25519/Ristretto
Ed25519/Ristretto are offered via dalek-ff-group, an ff/group wrapper around curve25519-dalek.
Please see the dalek-ff-group crate for more info.
Ed448
Ed448 is offered via minimal-ed448, an explicitly not recommended, unaudited, incomplete Ed448 implementation, limited to its prime-order subgroup.
Please see the minimal-ed448 crate for more info.
