In ed25519.zig, we checked if a test succeeds, in which case we
returned an error. This was confusing, and Andrew pointed out that
Zig weights branches against errors by default.
Add verifyStrict() functions for cofactorless verification.
Also:
- Support messages < 64 characters in the test vectors
- Allow mulDoubleBasePublic to return the identity as a regular
value. There are valid use cases for this.
added adapter to AnyWriter and GenericWriter to help bridge the gap
between old and new API
make std.testing.expectFmt work at compile-time
std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.
Breakage/deprecations:
* std.fs.File.reader -> std.fs.File.deprecatedReader
* std.fs.File.writer -> std.fs.File.deprecatedWriter
* std.io.GenericReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.GenericWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.io.AnyReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.AnyWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.fmt.format -> std.fmt.deprecatedFormat
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeLower -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeUpper -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexLower -> {x}
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexUpper -> {X}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeDec -> {B}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeBin -> {Bi}
* std.fmt.fmtDuration -> {D}
* std.fmt.fmtDurationSigned -> {D}
* {} -> {f} when there is a format method
* format method signature
- anytype -> *std.io.Writer
- inferred error set -> error{WriteFailed}
- options -> (deleted)
* std.fmt.Formatted
- now takes context type explicitly
- no fmt string
When runtime safety is turned on, `Ed25519.fromSecretKey()` can
currently hit an assertion if the format of the secret key is
invalid.
Return an error instead, so that applications can recover.
Our key pair creation API was ugly and inconsistent between ecdsa
keys and other keys.
The same `generate()` function can now be used to generate key pairs,
and that function cannot fail.
For deterministic keys, a `generateDeterministic()` function is
available for all key types.
Fix comments and compilation of the benchmark by the way.
Fixes#21002
Follow up to #19079, which made test names fully qualified.
This fixes tests that now-redundant information in their test names. For example here's a fully qualified test name before the changes in this commit:
"priority_queue.test.std.PriorityQueue: shrinkAndFree"
and the same test's name after the changes in this commit:
"priority_queue.test.shrinkAndFree"
* 128-bit integer multiplication with overflow
* more instruction encodings used by std inline asm
* implement the `try_ptr` air instruction
* follow correct stack frame abi
* enable full panic handler
* enable stack traces
This reverts commit 0c99ba1eab63865592bb084feb271cd4e4b0357e, reversing
changes made to 5f92b070bf284f1493b1b5d433dd3adde2f46727.
This caused a CI failure when it landed in master branch due to a
128-bit `@byteSwap` in std.mem.
`key_blinding.unblindPublicKey` (deprecated in 0.10)

Does what the name says: rejects generators of low-order groups.
`clearCofactor()` was previously used to do it, but for e.g.
cofactored signature verification, we don't need the result of an
actual multiplication. Only check that we didn't end up with a
low-order point, which is a faster operation.
If the noise parameter was null, we didn't use any noise at all.
We unconditionally generated random noise (`noise2`) but didn't use it.
Spotted by @cryptocode, thanks!
Key blinding allows public keys to be augmented with a secret
scalar, making multiple signatures from the same signer unlinkable.

This is required by privacy-preserving applications such as Tor
onion services and the PrivacyPass protocol.
We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
std/crypto: use finer-grained error sets in function signatures
Returning the `crypto.Error` error set for all crypto operations
was very convenient to ensure that errors were used consistently,
and to avoid having multiple error names for the same thing.
The flipside is that callers were forced to always handle all
possible errors, even those that could never be returned by a
function.
This PR makes all functions return union sets of the actual errors
they can return.
The error sets themselves are all limited to a single error.
Larger sets are useful for platform-specific APIs, but we don't have
any of these in `std/crypto`, and I couldn't find any meaningful way
to build larger sets.
Let's follow the road paved by the removal of 'z'/'Z', the Formatter
pattern is nice enough to let us remove the remaining four special cases
and declare u8 slices free from any special casing!
std.crypto.random
* cross platform, even freestanding
* can't fail. on initialization for some systems requires calling
os.getrandom(), in which case there are rare but theoretically
possible errors. The code panics in these cases, however the
application may choose to override the default seed function and then
handle the failure another way.
* thread-safe
* supports the full Random interface
* cryptographically secure
* no syscall required to initialize on Linux (AT_RANDOM)
* calls arc4random on systems that support it
`std.crypto.randomBytes` is removed in favor of `std.crypto.random.bytes`.
I moved some of the Random implementations into their own files in the
interest of organization.
stage2 no longer requires passing a RNG; instead it uses this API.
Closes#6704
The NaCl constructions are available in pretty much all programming
languages, making them a solid choice for applications that require
interoperability.
Go includes them in the standard library, JavaScript has the popular
tweetnacl.js module, and reimplementations and ports of TweetNaCl
have been made everywhere.
Zig has almost everything that NaCl has at this point, the main
missing component being the Salsa20 cipher, on top on which NaCl's
secretboxes, boxes, and sealedboxes can be implemented.
So, here they are!
And clean the X25519 API up a little bit by the way.
This is slightly slower but makes our verification function compatible
with batch signatures. Which, in turn, makes blockchain people happy.
And we want to make our users happy.
Add convenience functions to substract edwards25519 points and to
clear the cofactor.
- This avoids having multiple `init()` functions for every combination
of optional parameters
- The API is consistent across all hash functions
- New options can be added later without breaking existing applications.
For example, this is going to come in handy if we implement parallelization
for BLAKE2 and BLAKE3.
- We don't have a mix of snake_case and camelCase functions any more, at
least in the public crypto API
Support for BLAKE2 salt and personalization (more commonly called context)
parameters have been implemented by the way to illustrate this.
Instead of having all primitives and constructions share the same namespace,
they are now organized by category and function family.
Types within the same category are expected to share the exact same API.
