Closes the CRIT-1 residual (D1-2) sid-entropy gap and the CT/doc hygiene
gaps to bring Corona to the no-leak/no-gap bar. EasyCrypt proofs untouched.
PRIORITY 1 — anti-nonce-reuse / no-leak durability:
- The Round-1 nonce-PRF key no longer keys on a bare 64-bit sid. It now
derives from a 256-bit domain-separated SessionID (primitives.DeriveSessionID:
TranscriptHash("corona.sign.session-id.v1" || be64(sid) || T)) AND a fresh
per-signature 256-bit hedge salt drawn inside the kernel from party.Rand
(default crypto/rand). PRNGKeyForRound = PRF(skShare, "CoronaNonceV3" ||
sessionID || salt). Hedging restores threshold-Raccoon's fresh-per-signature
nonce posture: reuse durability no longer rests on the external consensus
layer never reissuing an sid — even an sid collision yields distinct R with
prob 2^-256. A deterministic 256-bit SessionID alone is necessary but NOT
sufficient (it repeats when sid repeats); the salt is what closes the leak.
- SignRound1 is fail-closed: rejects an all-zero derived SessionID or all-zero
salt with ErrDegenerateSession, and surfaces a short-read error. The
consensus slot-uniqueness invariant is documented as a HARD precondition at
SignRound1 and Signer.Round1 (no longer a buried comment).
- KAT/oracle determinism preserved via one seam: sign.DeterministicNonceSource
(KeyedPRNG over seed || "corona.sign.nonce-salt.v1" || partyIndex), set on
Party.Rand / Signer.SetNonceRand only by reproducibility harnesses.
- SignRound1 / Signer.Round1 now return an error; all call sites updated.
- KAT REGEN: only sign_verify_e2e.json changes (nonce-key bytes moved);
transcript_hash.json / MAC / legacy PRNGKey vectors are byte-stable, proving
the consensus-agreed transcript path was left untouched. Regenerated via
`bash scripts/regen-kats.sh`; `--verify` confirms byte-determinism (10 files).
- Regression: sign/nonce_reuse_test.go proves same-(skShare,sid) yields distinct
D (fresh R), pinned-nonce reproduces byte-identically, and the degenerate-
session guard fires. TestE2EKATReplayDeterminism rewritten to assert both the
hedged-differs and pinned-reproduces properties (was a defanged no-op).
PRIORITY 2 — constant-time hygiene:
- reshare/commit.go already used a constant-time comparator; the real gap was
the verbatim duplication of constTimePolyEqual+uint64SliceToBytes across dkg2
and reshare. Consolidated to one canonical utils.ConstantTimePolyEqual; both
delegate (no dkg2<->reshare dependency). Orphaned imports removed.
- FullRankCheck and the reshare commit path are now covered in the CT review
with their public-operand justification.
PRIORITY 3 — doc accuracy:
- CONSTANT-TIME-REVIEW.md rewritten Corona-specific and file:line-accurate:
drops the stale Pulsar/lens/warp/secp256k1 content; audits the real call
sites (hedged nonce key, masking PRF, lattigo samplers as the residual TCB
axiom, utils.ConstantTimePolyEqual, CheckL2Norm/Verify/FullRankCheck big.Int
variable-time on PUBLIC operands, activation/commit-digest array equality,
keyera/reshare zeroization).
- PROOF-CLAIMS.md §1: threshold.Combine / sign.LocalSign (nonexistent) -> the
real sign.Party.SignFinalize exposed as threshold.Signer.Finalize.
- threshold/threshold.go package doc: Ring-LWE -> Module-LWE.
