Additional Information

  • This pull request resolves TODOs introduced in base-sdk#38 and base-sdk#47 during refactors or release preparations. It was decided in the latter that external crates that are re-exported as they form part of the public API will not rest in the root but instead in a dedicated __deps module.

    This will distinguish clearly between, for example, zeroize the crate and zeroize the local module. __private will continue to be the home of re-exports for macros that are not also hosting types leveraged by the public API.

Breaking Changes

Refer to changelogs.

How Has This Been Tested?

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes update shared and package dependencies, replace hex-literal usage, and revise crate exports and trait imports. Base58 encoding calls and AES-related dependency and trait references also change.

Changes

Workspace and dependency updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workspace dependency declarations
Cargo.toml, pkgs/dev/Cargo.toml, pkgs/p2p_core/Cargo.toml, pkgs/script/Cargo.toml, pkgs/types/Cargo.toml
The workspace adds shared dependency declarations, updates base58ck, and affected packages switch selected dependencies to workspace declarations.
Banned crate and hex fixture migration
deny.toml, maint/lint/lint_cargo.py, pkgs/num/*, pkgs/params/*, pkgs/pow/*, pkgs/primitives/*
The cargo-deny check now checks banned crates as well as advisories. The affected dependencies, documentation, and fixtures switch from hex-literal to hex-conservative; the summaries report unchanged fixture bytes.
Crate exports and trait paths
maint/codeql/rust/policy.model.yml, pkgs/num/src/*, pkgs/types/src/*, pkgs/dev/src/*, pkgs/p2p_core/src/*, pkgs/primitives/src/*, pkgs/script/src/*
dash-num and dash-types add dependency re-exports under __deps and remove specified prior exports. Generated paths and consumer imports are updated to use the crate-root traits or the new dependency paths.
Base58 encoding and crypto updates
pkgs/pkc/Cargo.toml, pkgs/pkc/src/*, pkgs/types/src/adapters.rs
Public-hash, script-hash, and WIF encoding switch from encode_check to Base58CkString::encode_unbounded. The AES and SHA dependency versions and AES trait imports also change.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 05442

WIF export leaves private-key material in a temporary buffer that is freed without being cleared, increasing exposure through process-memory inspection. Clear that buffer before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 05442

The secret-key encoder now creates an additional intermediate WIF value before returning a protected string. Its cleanup has not been established. No secret disclosure has been verified, and the public API does not appear to gain a new entrypoint.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · inferred: The changed WIF path creates an intermediate encoder value outside the visible Zeroizing guards. Whether it leaves an uncleared secret-bearing allocation depends on the uninspected encoder implementation; disclosure is not established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Any unprotected intermediate would affect secret keys encoded through this public library method. No new production caller was established in the repository; external consumers were unavailable.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The deferred exposure candidate is not a verified disclosure. An impact would require the encoder to retain an uncleared secret-bearing value and a means to read that process memory; neither condition was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The method accepts a key and caller-supplied prefix, rejects the null key, and protects the assembled payload and returned string. The encoder's own cleanup remains the unresolved control boundary.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Establish the exact encoder value's storage and Drop behavior, then keep every secret-bearing WIF intermediate under an explicit cleanup guarantee if the dependency does not provide one.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid leaving an unprotected WIF copy in memory.

For either key length, encode_unbounded stores the WIF in a short inline buffer. String::from(wif.as_str()) copies that secret into the protected Zeroizing<String>, but dropping wif does not clear its buffer. Write the encoded WIF directly into the protected output instead of retaining this extra copy. The dependency’s buffer implementation establishes this behavior. (github.com)

@kwvg, the concern no longer holds for the current code. For the 34-byte WIF payload, base58ck 0.5.0 calculates a reserve length of 52 bytes, below its 128-byte inline-buffer limit. The 33-byte payload also fits inline. to_wif copies the result into Zeroizing<String> and then clears the intermediate buffer with zeroize_flat_type.

The fix depends on base58ck’s buffer layout. Recheck that assumption if the dependency changes.
