Implements a Schoenmakers-style PVSS-DKG over GF(257) for THBS-SE
setup. The trusted dealer is removed; no party ever holds the master
byte vector at any time during setup. The implicit master is only
materialised inside the `deriveDKGPublicKey` closure (named
`lagrangeScratch`, zeroized at closure exit) when an external auditor
invokes `VerifyDKGTranscript` to derive the public key.
New public surface (ref/go/pkg/magnetar/):
- pvss_dkg.go: NewPVSSPartyState, PVSSPartyState.{PublicContribution,
ShareTo, RevealMsg}, VerifyContribution, VerifyShareConsistency,
RunDKGSimulation, VerifyDKGTranscript, AggregateShareEnvelope,
VerifyPVSSComplaint, PVSSTranscript, PVSSPublicContribution,
PVSSRevealMsg, PVSSComplaint.
- key.go: NewThbsSeKeyFromDealerlessDKG --- takes a PVSSTranscript
and emits a ThbsSeKey byte-shape identical to the dealer-path
output for the same implicit master.
Tests (ref/go/pkg/magnetar/pvss_dkg_test.go, 5 invariant gates):
- TestPVSS_DKG_NoSinglePartyHoldsMaster (AST walk + state audit)
- TestPVSS_DKG_ByteCompatWithDealerPath (wire-byte equality)
- TestPVSS_DKG_AdversarialReveals (t-1 corrupted parties)
- TestPVSS_DKG_RobustnessAgainstMaliciousCommitments
- TestPVSS_DKG_EndToEnd_SignAndVerify (closing loop through Combine)
EasyCrypt theory:
- proofs/easycrypt/Magnetar_N5_PVSS_DKG.ec: Class N5 secrecy,
correctness, and wire-compat theorems. 2 admits (Shamir info-
theoretic cross-cite + Go-extraction trust boundary).
Hard invariant: no party (and no transient dealer) ever holds the
master byte vector at any time during setup. The dealerless and
dealer paths emit byte-shape-identical share envelopes, so already-
deployed share material is forward-compatible.
Magnetar --- machine-checked proof track
Magnetar v1.1 closes MAGNETAR-STRICT-ATOM-V11 and lands the
mechanised proof track for the strict-atom Combine path. Both
primitives (per-validator standalone + THBS-SE strict-atom) are
covered.
What ships at v1.1
| Layer | Path |
|---|---|
| EasyCrypt theory shells | proofs/easycrypt/ |
| Lean bridge (algebraic) | proofs/lean/Crypto/Magnetar/ |
| Bridge doc | proofs/lean-easycrypt-bridge.md |
The construction shape covered by the proof track:
- The strict-atom emitter
assembleSignatureBytes(ref/go/pkg/magnetar/thbsse_assemble.go). - The Magnetar-internal FIPS 205 sec 5/6/7/8 walk
slhSignAtom(ref/go/pkg/magnetar/slhdsa_internal.go). - The byte-wise Shamir over GF(257) + Lagrange interpolation at x=0
(
ref/go/pkg/magnetar/thbsse_field.go). - The byte-identity claim that ties the strict-atom Combine output to
cloudflare/circl/sign/slhdsa.SignDeterministicon the same input.
Axiom budget
The strict-atom theory has 5 admits across the dependency cone:
| Axiom | File | Discharge mechanism |
|---|---|---|
combine_assemble_axiom |
Magnetar_N1_StrictAtom.ec |
Go extraction trust boundary; audit reads assembleSignatureBytes line-for-line against the abstract AssembleAbs model. |
shake256_functional |
Magnetar_N1_SHAKE_Expand.ec |
FIPS 202 functional spec. Cross-cited from Lean Crypto.Lux.SHA3. |
magnetar_internal_refines_circl |
Magnetar_N1_Atom_Refinement.ec |
Discharged by Go test TestSlhdsaInternal_ByteEqualToCirclSign per SHAKE mode. |
slhdsa_correctness |
lemmas/SLHDSA_Functional.ec |
FIPS 205 sec 10 NIST verification. |
lagrange_recovers_master |
Magnetar_N1_StrictAtom.ec |
Algebraic; Lean-bridged to Crypto.Magnetar.StrictAtom.byte_wise_shamir_lagrange_at_zero_identity. |
| (CT) abstract-level vacuous | lemmas/Magnetar_CT.ec |
Concrete CT discharged by direct audit of strict-atom Combine path Go source. |
Total: 6 admits (5 substantive + 1 abstract-vacuous), corresponding to
the trust footprint enumerated in proofs/easycrypt/README.md. This is
the same shape as the v0.4 EC track (1 byte-walk + 1 codec + 3
protocol-level + 1 FIPS 205) but specialised to the strict-atom
construction.
v1.0 -> v1.1 delta
The v0.x EC scaffolding (modelled the abandoned reveal-and-aggregate construction) was removed at v1.0; the v1.1 track is built directly against the strict-atom Combine path.
The Lean side carries the abstract-model discipline statement
strict_atom_discipline (vacuous at the abstract level; the concrete
discipline is enforced by the Go test
TestThbsSE_StrictAtom_NoTransientSeed).
Per-push gate
The scripts/check-high-assurance.sh orchestrator runs:
scripts/checks/go-tests.sh(v1.0 scope; carries forward unchanged).scripts/checks/strict-atom-ast.sh(NEW at v1.1): runs theTestThbsSE_StrictAtom_NoTransientSeedAST + grep invariant gate per-push. The AST gate is a fast check that the strict-atom discipline holds on the file.scripts/checks/easycrypt.sh(NEW at v1.1): smoke-checks the EC theory shells for syntax / require / import consistency. Full EasyCrypt re-run is a release-time gate, not per-push, because EC is heavy to bring up (the per-push gate runs in <60s; full EC takes the EC project's standard hour to run).
