Motivation

This pull request performs three distinct actions that have three distinct reasons:

  • Introducing the dashcore-crypto crate

    • Upstream signalled an intent to split up pure cryptographic operations in rust-bitcoin#5283 and realized this change in rust-bitcoin#5680, backporting the relevant changes is a separate ordeal that is being worked on in the process as it relates to secp256k1.

      But to prevent the TODO list from piling up, it was better to establish dashcore-crypto early and with Dash-specific code. BLS fits this bill and is being done in this pull request.

  • Isolating backend types behind newtypes

    • dashcore in its nature needs separate types for storage and manipulating cryptographic data, the API contracts for which need to be more explicit and tailored for dashcore's needs and existing conventions rather than following whatever convention the backend library imposes, which is an implementation concern that shouldn't leak downstream.

      As this pull request is performing a backend switch, this was a good opportunity to codify the existing API contract.

  • Switching from our blsful fork to dash-pkc (a part of the base-sdk)

    • The Dash Base SDK itself came to be from the need of an embeddable library (closer to libbitcoinkernel than libbitcoin_server) while working on the Hyphen block explorer and one of the constraints placed was first-class no_std support. All crates are no_std capable. This included work on the BLS scheme due to the pre-IETF legacy scheme.

      Over time, dash-pkc grew to mature its BLS implementation, with provisional testing with Dash Core as a potential candidate to replace the current reference implementation as Chia has retired their fork. dash-pkc unlike blsful doesn't only support legacy encoding but legacy operations and has worked to be bug-for-bug compatible in the aim of being a slot-in replacement (see base-sdk#20 and base-sdk#26, FFI work on this is currently in progress).

      This effort has made dash-pkc a relatively more mature implementation (test corpus available here and work to make it reproducible using Python scripts is in progress, see bls-signatures#125 for prior work on reviving Python binds).

Additional Information

  • Depends on test(key-wallet): pin scalar reduction paths, refusal of zero scalars and public keys off the curve #1038

  • The impl_eq_ord_hash! macro for pre-1.48 compatibility has been long dead as the effective MSRV has been set to 1.89 in rust-dashcore#107. Note that the MSRV for dash-pkc is 1.85 (source).

  • Helper macros are used in this pull request from dash-types , specifically type_cvrt!, make_bytes! and make_sbytes! for convenience and for secret-holding type correctness. This overlaps with this codebase's impl_{array,bytes}_newtype and the gap in types have been manually implemented to prevent surface degradation.

    • Some unused type conversions with underlying blsful types were dropped before the backend switch, this is a breaking change.
  • BlsError needed to be a distinct error from QuorumValidationError to enable the split to dashcore-crypto that doesn't assume application specifics.

  • BSL-1.0 had to be added to the license allowlist due to xxhash-rust existing as a dependency in the base-sdk dependency tree. The license is permissive and shouldn't conflict with our existing license terms.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a shared dashcore-crypto crate with scheme-aware BLS APIs. Dash and key-wallet migrate from blsful to these APIs. BLS verification, key derivation, serialization, FFI output, and CI configuration are updated.

Changes

BLS crypto migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared crypto crate and workspace wiring
Cargo.toml, crypto/*, dash/Cargo.toml, .github/ci-groups.yml, deny.toml
Adds BLS byte wrappers and legacy and modern scheme operations. The workspace and Dash features use the new crate. CI assigns the crate to the core test group, and the license allowlist adds BSL-1.0.
Dash BLS verification integration
dash/src/bls_sig_utils.rs, dash/src/sml/*, dash/src/base58.rs, dash/src/crypto/key.rs, dash/src/lib.rs
Uses shared BLS types and scheme-aware verification. Removes blsful exports and error variants, and maps BLS errors to Dash validation errors.
Wallet BLS type and derivation migration
key-wallet/src/derivation_bls_bip32.rs, key-wallet/src/account/bls_account.rs, key-wallet/src/wallet/root_extended_keys.rs, key-wallet/src/managed_account/address_pool.rs
Migrates wallet key derivation to shared BLS wrappers and explicit schemes. Key construction, serialization, and public-key derivation now propagate errors where the APIs return Result.
Wallet interfaces and validation updates
key-wallet/src/managed_account/managed_account_trait.rs, key-wallet-ffi/src/account_derivation.rs, key-wallet/src/tests/*, key-wallet/src/transaction_checking/*, key-wallet/src/account/serialization.rs
Updates managed-account key parsing and FFI secret-key encoding. Tests pass BLS public-key values directly to provider payloads and handle fallible derivation calls.

  1. Pin the dependency — =0.1.0-beta, or commit Cargo.lock. As it stands,
    any future 0.1.x lands in the consensus path on its own; blsful was
    pinned to an exact rev.
  2. Test the legacy-encoding change — dash-pkc normalizes stray high bits
    where blsful rejected them, so a key that was dropped from the aggregate
    can now join it. Worth pinning against Dash Core's behaviour.
  3. Drop the .expect() in to_bytes_legacy, or restore point validation on
    deserialization — decode is now a length check only, so a corrupt stored
    pubkey panics.
  4. Fix the release note — there's no private-key encoding correction; the
    old code already reduced mod r. It's type plumbing
  5. Address CodeRabbit comments

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject non-canonical private-key bytes during deserialization.

Both decoders use canonicalize(). This operation reduces arbitrary 32-byte values modulo the scalar-field order. An out-of-range persisted key can therefore decode as a different secret key instead of returning Error::InvalidPrivateKey.

Create BlsSkBytes, call as_scheme(CANONICAL).validate(), and store the original bytes only after validation.

Based on learnings, serialized Rust key formats must reject malformed input instead of normalizing it.

Preserve the fixed-width bincode layout.

Encoding the public key as Vec<u8> adds a length prefix. The previous encoder wrote exactly 48 bytes. Existing serialized wallets therefore do not match the new layout.

Keep fixed-array encoding and decode [u8; 48], or add an explicit versioned migration that accepts both layouts.

As per coding guidelines: “Maintain backward compatibility for serialized wallets when making schema changes in Rust code.”

  • Dependency pinned, Cargo.lock has been ignored since rust-dashcore#52 so refreshing it with cargo check wasn't an option
  • A few iterations with CodeRabbit had revealed unwanted reductions instead of rejections, they have since been remedied (edit: unsure, getting conflicting suggestions from review agents, marking as draft until we can establish the intended policy) but masking stray high bits in G1 is documented behaviour for legacy scheme (source)
  • Resolved in latest push, point validation has been restored and errors now propagate
  • Dropped CodeRabbit's auto-generated summary and comments have been addressed except for this comment pending maintainer guidance

@kwvg, thanks for the clarification. I used the provided context and checked the current PR source.

ExtendedBLSPubKey Bincode encoding still writes a length-prefixed Vec<u8>. The decoder still reads Vec<u8>. The Bincode format is therefore retained.

The public-key decoder now calls canonicalize(). canonicalize() calls PkcPublicKey::from_bytes(...) and propagates an InvalidPublicKey error when the bytes do not decode to a G1 point. This addresses the point-validation concern.

The referenced discussion ID was not available through the GitHub REST comment endpoint. It returned HTTP 404. I could not inspect that remaining discussion.

Learning: In `key-wallet/src/derivation_bls_bip32.rs`, `ExtendedBLSPrivKey::from_parts` validates `BlsSkBytes` with `BlsSecretKey::validate` under the modern BLS scheme and rejects scalars outside the BLS field. It does not call `BlsSecretKey::canonicalize`, which is the operation that reduces scalar bytes modulo the group order.

Learning: In `dashpay/rust-dashcore`, `QuorumEntry::verify_aggregated_commitment_signature` historically drops selected operator keys that fail BLS public-key decoding before secure aggregate signature verification. This behavior exists in commits `3d24459a13d29ed17671559fe8c6403594bce9d2` and `7b9c20a9385b4972c4e570a71cce49cbd41cf220`; the `dashcore-crypto` migration should preserve it unless a separate intentional behavior change is specified.

Learning: In `key-wallet/src/account/bls_account.rs`, `BLSAccount::from_public_key_bytes` validates modern BLS public-key bytes by calling `BLSPublicKey::from_bytes(...).as_scheme(BlsScheme::Modern).canonicalize()` before it constructs `ExtendedBLSPubKey`. In `crypto/src/bls.rs`, `BlsPublicKey::canonicalize` performs the fallible G1 point decode through the scheme-specific `point` method.

@kwvg, verification confirms the stated changes.

ExtendedBLSPubKey Bincode encoding still writes a length-prefixed Vec<u8>. Its decoder still reads a Vec<u8>. The Bincode format is retained.

BlsPublicKey::canonicalize() decodes the key through PkcPublicKey::from_bytes(...). Invalid G1 bytes return BlsError::InvalidPublicKey. The Bincode decoder propagates that error as a decode error.

crypto/Cargo.toml pins dash-pkc to =0.1.0-beta. The repository ignores Cargo.lock.

I also used the existing PR guidance that legacy G1 high-bit masking is intentional behavior. I will not report that behavior as scalar or point reduction.

The remaining discussion requires maintainer guidance. I leave it unresolved.

Learning: In `dashpay/rust-dashcore`, `.gitignore` excludes `Cargo.lock`. Dependency updates should therefore use explicit manifest version pins when reproducibility is required; do not expect a `cargo check` refresh to produce a tracked lockfile change.

@kwvg, thanks for the clarification.

The Bincode format remains compatible.

The explicit dependency pin is appropriate because this repository does not track Cargo.lock.

Legacy G1 high-bit masking is intentional for the legacy scheme. I will not report it as an unwanted reduction.

The restored G1 point validation and propagated errors address the validation concern.

I will leave the maintainer-guidance discussion unresolved.

The tests moved to dashcore-crypto are mostly println! with no asserts. Either assert something or drop them. If you need it merge now I can take care of it after the merge, let me know

Follow-up (separate PR, low priority):
Quorum signature verification always passes BlsScheme::Modern (5 call sites). SPV only validates active post-V19 quorums but it would be nice to take use Legacy if the version requires it
