Forward-only decomplect per CLAUDE.md "no backwards compatibility
only forwards perfection please" and explicit user instruction
"no aliases!!! ... just keep evm address and utxo address".
Removed from secp256k1 PrivateKey and PublicKey:
- KeccakAddress() (was deprecated alias)
- EthAddress() (was deprecated alias)
Only EVMAddress() remains. Downstream callers using EthAddress /
KeccakAddress will break at compile time. Lockstep fixes follow in
cli, utxo, node, mpc, kms, state.
Per CLAUDE.md x.x.x+1.
Reconciles to the state-team direction: name 20-byte addresses by
the runtime model that consumes them (EVM account address), not by
the hash primitive that derives them (Keccak). The decomplect
principle from Hickey: name things by what they ARE.
What the value IS:
- A 20-byte account address on EVM-runtime chains
- (Implementation: derived from Keccak256 of the secp256k1 pubkey,
but that's HOW it's computed, not WHAT it is)
The user pointed out: utxo and keccak are orthogonal axes. UTXO is
a data model; Keccak is a hash. They don't belong in the same name.
The previous "KeccakAddress" naming conflated derivation primitive
with semantic purpose. The semantic purpose IS "EVM-runtime account
address". That's what determines where it's usable (any EVM-compatible
chain) and is symmetric with the existing Lux native Address() method
which returns an X-Chain / P-Chain UTXO ShortID.
Renames (PrivateKey and PublicKey):
- EVMAddress() is now canonical
- KeccakAddress() retained as `// Deprecated:` alias (was v1.19.13's
intended canonical; reconciled)
- EthAddress() retained as `// Deprecated:` alias (legacy)
All three methods return the same value; downstream callers migrate
at their own pace. Tests pass.
Per CLAUDE.md x.x.x+1.
The user's call: "ethcrypto is not acceptable. It encodes the wrong
domain. The fact that Keccak/ECDSA are used for EVM address derivation
does not make the package Ethereum, and it definitely does not justify
an eth* alias inside a repo trying to purge ETH naming. decomplect"
Decomplecting (Rich Hickey: separate the value from the brand):
1. ecies/params.go: drop `ethcrypto "github.com/luxfi/crypto"` import
alias. Replace with direct `"github.com/luxfi/crypto/secp256k1"`
import — the file uses `S256()` (the secp256k1 curve), so it
imports the curve provider directly. The "ethcrypto" alias was
gratuitous branding; secp256k1 is a curve, not an Ethereum
primitive.
2. secp256k1/keys.go: rename `EthAddress()` → `KeccakAddress()` on
both PrivateKey and PublicKey. The derivation is "last 20 bytes of
Keccak256(uncompressed_pubkey)"; that primitive predates and is
consumed by every EVM chain (Lux C-Chain, Polygon, BSC, Partner EVM,
Hanzo EVM, etc.). The "Eth" label braids the value with one brand.
KeccakAddress names the VALUE; the docstring notes EVM-compatible
chains consume it but no longer implies Ethereum-specificity.
`EthAddress()` retained as a `// Deprecated:` alias delegating to
KeccakAddress so downstream callers (node, cli, mpc) don't break
in one wave. Linter will flag usages; downstream migrations land
at their own pace.
3. Address() vs KeccakAddress(): the existing Address() returns the
Lux native X-Chain / P-Chain format (SHA256+RIPEMD160 → ShortID).
Both methods are now brand-neutral and describe the derivation,
not the consumer.
The banderwagon test seed "eth_verkle_oct_2021" is left as-is — it
is an external constant from the Ethereum Foundation Verkle research,
not a Lux naming choice; renaming would break the KAT invariant.
Per CLAUDE.md x.x.x+1.
luxfi/crypto becomes the single Go entry point for ALL Lux-family crypto.
Every public function in this module now dispatches between three
implementations through a runtime-selectable backend:
- vanilla: pure-Go reference (always available)
- cgo: native binding (blst, libsecp256k1, ckzg) where present
- gpu: batch acceleration via github.com/luxfi/accel
The dispatcher reads LUX_CRYPTO_BACKEND (auto|vanilla|cgo|gpu); auto
picks the most capable backend the binary was compiled and linked with.
New canonical packages:
backend/ runtime backend selector (env + programmatic)
internal/gpuhost/ accel session lifecycle, single per-process
keccak/ Keccak-256 with batch GPU dispatch
sha256/ SHA-256 with batch GPU dispatch
sha3/ SHA3 / SHAKE family
ripemd160/ RIPEMD-160 (Bitcoin/Lux address derivation)
ed25519/ Ed25519 with batch GPU verify
bn254/ canonical alias for bn256 (matches FIPS naming)
modexp/ canonical alias for bigmodexp
evm256/ EIP-196/197 precompile ABI wrappers
poseidon/ Poseidon2 hash via gnark-crypto
pedersen/ Pedersen commitments over BN254
ntt/ Number-Theoretic Transform reference
polymul/ negacyclic polynomial multiplication
Extended existing packages with batch GPU paths:
bls/batch.go BatchVerify routes through accel.BLSVerifyBatch
mldsa/batch.go BatchVerify (ML-DSA-65) via accel.DilithiumVerifyBatch
mlkem/batch.go BatchEncapsulate / BatchDecapsulate via Kyber kernels
secp256k1/batch.go BatchVerifySignature via accel.ECDSAVerifyBatch
GPU dispatch is gated on (a) backend.Default(), (b) batch size threshold,
and (c) accel.Available(). When any gate fails the call falls through to
the vanilla CPU path; output is byte-identical.
The legacy gpu/ stub is replaced with a thin probe surface (Available,
Backend, Devices, Version) that delegates to the same gpuhost session.
Tests show vanilla and gpu backends produce identical outputs across all
batch entry points (-race clean).
See AUDIT.md for the per-algorithm state matrix and honest gaps.
ToPrivateKey stored a reference to the input slice, not a copy.
If the caller zeroed the original bytes after creating the key,
the PrivateKey's internal bytes were also zeroed, causing Sign()
to fail with "invalid private key". Now copies input bytes.
