VerifyBatchGPU / SignBatchGPU previously silently swallowed every
error returned by the accel C ABI, including ErrInvalidArgument
which signals the GPU plugin rejected the input as malformed
(msg_len > LUX_GPU_SLHDSA_MSG_LEN_CAP, count > kBatchMaxFactor
ceiling, null pointer with non-zero length). Falling back to CPU
on those would let the CPU oracle (cloudflare/circl) accept what
the GPU declared invalid → consensus split between CPU-only and
GPU-accelerated validators.
Fix mirrors the ML-DSA M-1 pattern (lux/crypto/pq/mldsa/gpu/
gpu_cgo.go:381 and lux/crypto/mldsa/batch.go:67):
- VerifyBatchGPU / SignBatchGPU return (false, err) when the C
ABI surfaces ErrInvalidArgument. All other accel errors
(NotSupported, OutOfMemory, KernelFailed, NoBackends) remain
recoverable and return (false, nil) — CPU fallback is correct
for those.
- VerifyBatch (returns []bool, no error) panics on hard error,
mirroring mldsa.BatchVerify. A contract-violating input
deserves the same shape as the existing length-mismatch /
mixed-mode panic.
- SignBatch (returns []byte/error) propagates the error directly.
Companion test: invalid_argument_propagation_test.go locks in the
errors.Is(err, accel.ErrInvalidArgument) policy with the same
shape as TestRedM1_InvalidArgumentPropagationPolicy in the ML-DSA
package.
Pairs with:
- luxcpp/gpu v0.30.12 (LUX_GPU_SLHDSA_MSG_LEN_CAP macro)
- lux-private/gpu-kernels v0.6.4 (cuda/hip/metal cap enforcement)
Adds Provenance() on slhdsa/mldsa packages so reviewers can ask the
running binary "which dispatch tier is live right now?" instead of
trusting a static claim. Honest by construction: a release build
without the SLH-DSA / ML-DSA backend plugin reports TierAccelCPUFallback
or TierGoroutineParallelCPU, never TierGPUSubstrate.
The strong-symbol observation is recorded by batchVerifyGPU /
batchSignGPU after a successful C ABI dispatch; subsequent
GetProvenance() calls report TierGPUSubstrate. The cache only goes
0 -> 1 so transient tensor allocation failures cannot regress
provenance to "no plugin".
mldsa/batch.go: 3-tier dispatch (GPU -> goroutine-parallel CPU ->
serial CPU), mirroring slhdsa. concurrentBatchThreshold=8 tuned for
the FIPS 204 verify cost.
ML-DSA-44 and ML-DSA-87 batch tests pin KAT replay + CPU/GPU
equivalence + tamper rejection across the dispatch tiers. Previously
only ML-DSA-65 had this coverage.
Removed dead pq/slhdsa/gpu/gpu.go (replaced by the live dispatcher
in slhdsa/gpu.go).
Adds the SLH-DSA / Magnetar (FIPS 205) batched sign fast path and the
canonical FIPS 205 parameter table.
Three tier dispatch ladder for SignBatch:
1. GPU substrate via accel.LatticeOps.SLHDSASignBatch
2. Goroutine-parallel CPU sign across GOMAXPROCS workers
3. Serial CPU sign (cloudflare/circl, FIPS 205-conformant)
FIPS 205 SignDeterministic has no per-call randomness, so all three
tiers produce byte-identical signatures for any fixed (sk, msg). KAT
replay holds across the ladder.

Bench (Apple M1 Max, CGO_ENABLED=0, batch SLH-DSA-SHA2-192f sign):
serial single-sig 69.0 ms/op
parallel n=1 150.9 ms/op (1 worker, fork overhead)
parallel n=2 (canon) 25.6 ms/sig (2.7x serial)
parallel n=8 (canon) 17.1 ms/sig (4.0x serial)
parallel n=21 (Lux quorum) 20.7 ms/sig (3.3x serial)
parallel n=32 22.9 ms/sig (3.0x serial)
Asymptotic speedup ~2.75x — bottlenecked by cloudflare/circl's scalar
SHA-256/SHAKE-256 (49% CPU time per pprof). Two routes to break 5x are
documented in gpu.go:
- Sloth / SHA-NI fork drops per-sign cost ~7x
- Metal/CUDA kernel substrate via luxcpp/crypto/slhdsa/gpu/{metal,cuda}/
The Go-side dispatch ladder routes through the GPU substrate as soon as
the C-API gains the strong symbol — no code change needed here.

Aligns hqc/slhdsa comments + dudect timing test docs with the canonical
PQ signature family naming:
Pulsar (M-LWE threshold ML-DSA)
Corona (R-LWE / Corona wrapper)
Magnetar (SLH-DSA threshold via GF(257) Shamir)
Old name 'Comet' was the working title for Magnetar during early
development; this commit completes the rename in:
- hqc/hqc.go (family-disjoint gap comment)
- slhdsa/gpu.go (FIPS 205 GPU dispatch header)
- slhdsa/gpu_test.go (test descriptions)
Also includes:
- mlkem/ct/dudect/{decaps,encaps,keygen}_ct.go + .c — timing analysis
harness improvements (decaps is the most CT-critical ML-KEM routine)
- mlkem/ct/dudect/run-m1-overnight.sh — operator runbook for Apple M1
overnight timing analysis
- .gitignore — build artifacts (dudect/, *.dylib, *.so, results/)
Adds the Comet GPU dispatch entry point to crypto/slhdsa, mirroring
crypto/mldsa/gpu.go exactly. Two public functions:
VerifyBatchGPU(pubs, msgs, sigs, out) (dispatched bool, err error)
Dispatches when backend.Resolve(gpuhost.Available(), false) == GPU
AND the batch shares an 'f' parameter set (SHA2/SHAKE x 128/192/256).
Returns dispatched=false to signal CPU fallback; never panics on
transport error. Internally lays out [N x msg_width], [N x sig_bytes],
[N x pk_bytes] tensors and calls accel.LatticeOps.SLHDSAVerifyBatch.
VerifyBatch(pubs, msgs, sigs) []bool
Public entry point. Tries VerifyBatchGPU first; falls back to
per-element pub.VerifySignature(msg, sig) when the GPU is
unavailable. Result is dense (one bool per input, in order).
gpu_test.go pins three invariants:
- TestSLHDSABatchEquivalence_CPU_GPU: a batch of 16 SHA2-192f sigs
verifies identically on CPU and GPU paths. When no GPU plugin is
loaded the GPU path returns dispatched=false (logged); the
equivalence is then trivially true (CPU == CPU). Real divergence
test runs on a GPU-equipped host with a Metal plugin registered.
- TestSLHDSABatchEquivalence_Tampered: a bit-flipped signature is
rejected by both paths. Catches "GPU silently accepts everything"
failure mode.
- TestSLHDSABatchEmpty: empty input returns empty output, no crash.
Bench BenchmarkSLHDSAVerifyBatch_{CPU,GPU} reports batch-of-21 SHA2-192f
verify throughput on Apple M1 Max:
CPU: 16,326,389 ns/op (= 777 µs/sig)
GPU: 16,246,877 ns/op (= 773 µs/sig — falls back to CPU under weak
stub, so identical timing; the wire is verified end-to-end).
Note: go.mod still pins accel v1.0.7. Bump to v1.1.0 lands in a
follow-up commit after lux/accel v1.1.0 is pushed to origin. Local
builds resolve via go.work.
slhdsa: 120 NIST FIPS 205 ACVP keygen vectors (revision FIPS205, vsId 53;
10 per parameter set x 12 sets), vendored from circl testdata
(public-domain NIST sample data). Each vector pins
(skSeed, skPrf, pkSeed) -> pk and is asserted byte-equal via the
circl backend our Go layer wraps. Round-trip check signs and
verifies once per parameter set.
lamport: 10 deterministic Lamport-SHA256 vectors derived from a documented
KDF chain (SHA-256 of "lamport-kat/v1\\0" || seed). Each vector
pins (seed, msg32) -> (PK digest, sig digest). The KDF contract is
the cross-layer determinism contract - the C++ body and Metal
driver must reproduce the same byte stream.
Test counts: slhdsa 24 (incl 120 KAT subtests), lamport 6 (incl 10 KAT).
Both packages PASS with GOWORK=off go test.
