The literature (Cozzo-Smart 2019, +Bonte-Smart-Tan 2023, NIST IR 8214) establishes that there is no +efficient threshold MPC that produces a single FIPS 205-shaped +signature without reconstructing the master seed. The Magnetar v0.1 +`CombineWithSeedReconstruction` path embraces this: byte-equality +with single-party FIPS 205 is the headline N1 claim, but the cost +is that the aggregator host is in the TCB for the brief +seed-reconstruction window. + +For Lux's public-BFT validator quorum, that TCB requirement is too +strong — no individual validator host should be trusted with the +group seed. The `AggregateSignatures` path is the honest SOTA +answer: each validator signs independently, the consensus layer +collects N signatures, verification iterates per-signer. Wire size +grows linearly with N (compressible via a Z-Chain Groth16 rollup to +~192 bytes, a separate primitive). This release does not change the +custody story — M-Chain thresholdvm in TEE-attested mode continues +to use `CombineWithSeedReconstruction`. It adds the public-BFT path +that was previously missing. + ## [0.3.0] — 2026-05-18 — Tier A documentation shape complete The full 12-document Tier A submission package shape now ships, diff --git a/DEPLOYMENT-RUNBOOK.md b/DEPLOYMENT-RUNBOOK.md index 28f9845..6638c68 100644 --- a/DEPLOYMENT-RUNBOOK.md +++ b/DEPLOYMENT-RUNBOOK.md @@ -1,17 +1,88 @@ -# Magnetar v0.1 — Deployment runbook +# Magnetar — Deployment runbook > Operator-facing trust-model disclosure and hardening guidance for -> Magnetar v0.1. **READ THIS BEFORE DEPLOYING.** +> Magnetar. **READ THIS BEFORE DEPLOYING.** -## 1. v0.1 reveal-and-aggregate trust caveat — single biggest disclosure +## 0.

No DKG, no shared seed, no resharing ceremony. The validator-set registry binds `(ValidatorID_i, pk_i)` so peers can verify this validator's signatures. + +2. **Per-validator sign** (one signature per block): each validator `i` calls `SignBundle(params, sk_i, ValidatorID_i, message)` to produce a `SignedBundle{ValidatorID, PublicKey, Signature}`. The signature is FIPS 205-byte-identical (no envelope) and verifies under unmodified `slhdsa.Verify`. + +3. **Aggregate** (consensus layer): the consensus layer collects N `SignedBundle` envelopes from the network, then calls `AggregateSignatures(params, bundles, message)` to dedupe + shape-check and produce a wire-stable `AggregatedSignature{Message, Bundles}`. + +4. **Verify** (relying party): a verifier calls `VerifyAggregated(params, agg, knownValidators)` which returns the COUNT of valid signers. The verifier compares the count against its quorum threshold to make the policy decision. + +### Honest trade-offs + +- **Wire size grows linearly with N.** At SLH-DSA-SHAKE-192s (16,224 byte signature) a 21-validator quorum is 336 KiB; a 64-validator quorum is 1 MiB. This is the cost of being TCB-free. +- **Verification cost grows linearly with N.** Each bundle requires one full FIPS 205 verify (~50ms per signature on M1 Max for SHAKE-192s). For N=21 that's ~1s in the serial path. `VerifyAggregated` automatically forks to `GOMAXPROCS` goroutines above `verifyAggregatedConcurrentThreshold=2` (mirrors `luxfi/crypto/slhdsa.VerifyBatch` parallel path), reducing wall-clock to ~125ms on an 8-core machine. The GPU substrate at `luxfi/crypto/slhdsa.VerifyBatch` brings this further down when an accel device is loaded — embed magnetar bundles in that path for upper-bound throughput. +- **Z-Chain Groth16 rollup is a separate primitive.** A Groth16 SNARK over the FIPS 205 verify circuit can compress the N-signature bundle to ~192 bytes. This is NOT part of the magnetar API; see `lux-zchain` for the rollup spec. The rollup does NOT change Magnetar's correctness — it's a post-hoc compression layer that the relying party can choose to consume instead of the raw N-bundle envelope. + +### Security model + +| Property | `AggregateSignatures` | Notes | +|---|---|---| +| **Unforgeability** | FIPS 205-grade per signer | Each σ_i is a standard FIPS 205 signature; forgery reduces to the FIPS 205 EUF-CMA assumption per signer. | +| **No single-host TCB** | Yes | No party ever holds N validators' secret material together.
