Add the public participant-facing ChillDKG API to
include/secp256k1_chilldkg.h and the CertEq sub-protocol, completing
the participant side of the protocol (bip-frost-dkg v0.3.0-dev,
reference pinned at a91896883f85b159415ecf298d5e844879af112d).
New module files:
- certeq.h / certeq_impl.h: CertEq sub-protocol. Participants sign
pad33("BIP DKG/certeq message") || u32be(i) || eq_input with plain
BIP0340-tagged Schnorr signatures under their host key
(certeq_participant_step); verification is per-index against the
x-only hostpubkeys[i][1:33] exactly as the reference
(certeq_verify). The coordinator side reuses certeq_verify in
Phase 4.
Public API (all no-malloc, caller-allocated buffers, outputs zeroed on
failure, secret paths cleared):
- secp256k1_chilldkg_hostpubkey_gen: plain compressed host pubkey
generation; rejects zero / >= group order seckeys.
- secp256k1_chilldkg_params_hash: validates session params (participant
and threshold ranges, strictly compressed non-infinity pubkeys, no
duplicates) and computes TH("BIP DKG/params_hash", u32be(t) ||
hostpubkeys).
- Message-length helpers so callers can size buffers:
participant_msg1_len (33t+32n+97), coordinator_msg1_len
(162n+33(t-1)), participant_msg2_len (64), coordinator_msg2_len
(64n), recovery_data_len (4+33t+162n).
- secp256k1_chilldkg_participant_step1: full EncPedPop step1 with
seed=deckey=hostseckey; rejects zero randomness and hostseckeys not
matching the claimed hostpubkey (input errors, not protocol faults).
- secp256k1_chilldkg_participant_step2: parses and verifies cmsg1 via
the Phase 2 encpedpop/simplpedpop participant path, computes the
tweaked secshare/pubshares/threshold pubkey, appends enc_secshares
to eq_input (matching the reference for recovery consistency), and
emits the 64-byte CertEq signature.
- secp256k1_chilldkg_participant_finalize: re-verifies all n CertEq
signatures in the certificate, then outputs the 32-byte secshare,
33-byte threshold pubkey, n pubshares and the self-delimiting
recovery data (eq_input || cert).
Blame reporting without exceptions: public enum
secp256k1_chilldkg_fault (OK / FAULTY_COORDINATOR /
FAULTY_PARTICIPANT / FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR /
UNKNOWN_FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR / INVALID_INPUT) plus an out
fault_index, mapping the reference's exception taxonomy:
- hostseckey invalid/mismatch -> INVALID_INPUT (HostSeckeyError),
- cmsg1 scalar overflow/parse -> FAULTY_COORDINATOR (MsgParseError),
- pubnonce/commitment/PoP faults -> FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR(i),
- share-vs-pubshare mismatch -> UNKNOWN with fault_index = UINT32_MAX,
- certificate signature failure -> FAULTY_COORDINATOR (documented
deviation: fault_index carries the failing signature index as
diagnostic info; the reference discards it).
Enum-returning functions use a local CHILLDKG_ARG_CHECK that fires the
illegal-argument callback and returns INVALID_INPUT (ARG_CHECK would
return 0 = OK).
Opaque state objects with magic-validated save/load (frost idiom):
participant_state1 (4306 bytes, no secrets) and participant_state2
(21073 bytes, contains the secshare; documented keep-secret/no-copy).
Fixed-size at SECP256K1_CHILLDKG_MAX_PARTICIPANTS = 128.
Also fixes a noverify-build bug: state1_load ran point_load inside
VERIFY_CHECK, which compiles out in noverify builds and left the
commitment uninitialized; now called unconditionally.
tests_impl.h: participant_api_test with full-session reference vectors
(n=3, t=2; coordinator aggregation simulated through the internal
Phase 2 coordinator step and verified byte-identical to the
reference's coordinator_step1): msglen helpers, hostpubkey_gen and
params_hash vectors incl. duplicate/invalid/infinity rejection,
byte-exact pmsg1/cmsg1/CertEq sigs/secshare/thresh_pk/pubshares/
recovery, blame cases (tampered enc_secshare -> UNKNOWN, invalid
pubnonce -> FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR(1), overflowing
enc_secshare -> FAULTY_COORDINATOR, corrupted cert sig ->
FAULTY_COORDINATOR with fault_index and zeroed outputs), NULL-arg
misuse and bad-magic state rejection.
Verified: make check 3/3 (incl. noverify); CMake ctest 363/363;
make distdir includes all new files.
