Additional Information

  • Microbenchmarks during consumer integration found that Drop performance worsened when using dash-pkc because the public key is rederived for the fixed pattern used to overwrite the contents of the secret key. This was resolved by computing the expected public key in advance and simply copying it instead.

Breaking Changes

Refer to changelog.

How Has This Been Tested?

./contrib/git_filter.py --fast-fail develop tweaky -- bash -c 'cargo clippy --all-targets --no-default-features -- -D warnings && cargo clippy --all-targets --features full -- -D warnings && cargo test --all-targets --features full && ./maint/lint_all.py'

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

BLS and ECDSA key types gain tweak multiplication and negation operations. Tests cover operation results and invalid inputs. ECDSA secret-key negation now returns a new key, and zeroization uses an erased-point constant with a fallback derivation.

Changes

BLS and ECDSA key operations

Layer / File(s) Summary
BLS tweak and negate operations
pkgs/pkc/src/bls/scheme_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/bls/tests.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/bls/public_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/bls/secret_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/bls/scheme_chia.rs
BLS scheme operations and key wrappers add secret-key tweak multiplication and secret- and public-key negation. Tests cover agreement, operation properties, and rejection of invalid inputs for both schemes.
ECDSA tweak, negate, and zeroization changes
pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/curve_consts.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/public_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/secret_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/tests.rs
ECDSA key types add tweak multiplication and public-key negation. Secret-key negation now returns a new key. Zeroization uses the erased-point constant with a derivation fallback. Tests cover key agreement, serialization forms, invalid factors, negation, and zeroization.
API and capability records
pkgs/pkc/CHANGELOG.md, maint/codeql/rust/pkc.model.yml
The changelog records the added operations and the ECDSA secret-key negation signature change. The CodeQL model removes the ECDSA secret-key negation entry from armOnly and adds EdDSA operation entries to armLacks.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 74ee8

No concrete in-repository merge risk was established; the ECDSA negation API change is documented, and repository callers use its returned key.

- Around line 112-119: Update the error documentation on BlsSecretKey::negate to
state that it can return InvalidSecretKey when the inner scalar is zero,
including after the key has been zeroized; remove the claim that it never
returns an error.
