Overview

Package dkg implements a general distributed key generation (DKG) framework. This package serves two functionalities: (1) to run a fresh new DKG from scratch and (2) to reshare old shares to a potentially distinct new set of nodes (the "resharing" protocol). The former protocol is described in "A threshold cryptosystem without a trusted party" by Torben Pryds Pedersen. https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1754929. The latter protocol is implemented in "Verifiable Secret Redistribution for Threshold Signing Schemes", by T. Wong et al.(https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~wing/publications/Wong-Wing02b.pdf)

Types

type Config 

type Config struct {
	Suite Suite

	// Longterm is the longterm secret key.
	Longterm kyber.Scalar

	// Current group of share holders. It will be nil for new DKG. These nodes
	// will have invalid shares after the protocol has been run. To be able to issue
	// new shares to a new group, the group member's public key must be inside this
	// list and in the Share field. Keys can be disjoint or not with respect to the
	// NewNodes list.
	OldNodes []kyber.Point

	// PublicCoeffs are the coefficients of the distributed polynomial needed
	// during the resharing protocol. The first coefficient is the key. It is
	// required for new share holders.  It should be nil for a new DKG.
	PublicCoeffs []kyber.Point

	// Expected new group of share holders. These public-key designated nodes
	// will be in possession of new shares after the protocol has been run. To be a
	// receiver of a new share, one's public key must be inside this list. Keys
	// can be disjoint or not with respect to the OldNodes list.
	NewNodes []kyber.Point

	// Share to refresh. It must be nil for a new node wishing to
	// join or create a group. To be able to issue new fresh shares to a new group,
	// one's share must be specified here, along with the public key inside the
	// OldNodes field.
	Share *DistKeyShare

	// New threshold to use if set. Default will be returned by `vss.MinimumT()`
	Threshold int
}

Config holds all required information to run a fresh DKG protocol or a resharing protocol. In the case of a new fresh DKG protocol, one must fill the following fields: Suite, Longterm, NewNodes, Threshold (opt). In the case of a resharing protocol, one must fill the following: Suite, Longterm, OldNodes, NewNodes. If the node using this config is creating new shares (i.e. it belongs to the current group), the Share field must be filled in with the current share of the node. If the node using this config is a new addition and thus has no current share, the PublicCoeffs field be must be filled in.

func NewDKGConfig 

func NewDKGConfig(suite Suite, longterm kyber.Scalar, participants []kyber.Point) *Config

NewDKGConfig returns a Config that is made for a fresh new DKG run.

func NewReshareConfig 

func NewReshareConfig(suite Suite, longterm kyber.Scalar, oldNodes, newNodes []kyber.Point,
	share *DistKeyShare, pcoeffs []kyber.Point) *Config

NewReshareConfig returns a new config to use with DistKeyGenerator to run the re-sharing protocols between the old nodes and the new nodes, i.e. the future share holders. Share must be non-nil for previously enrolled nodes to actively issue new shares. The public coefficients, pcoeffs, are needed in order for participants in newNodes to be able to verify the validity of newly received shares.

type Deal 

type Deal struct {
	// Index of the Dealer in the list of participants
	Index uint32
	// Deal issued for another participant
	Deal *vss.EncryptedDeal
	// Signature over the whole message
	Signature []byte
}

Deal holds the Deal for one participant as well as the index of the issuing Dealer.

func (*Deal) MarshalBinary 

func (d *Deal) MarshalBinary() ([]byte, error)

MarshalBinary returns a binary representation of this deal, which is the message signed in a dkg deal.

type DistKeyGenerator 

type DistKeyGenerator struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

DistKeyGenerator is the struct that runs the DKG protocol.

func NewDistKeyGenerator 

func NewDistKeyGenerator(suite Suite, longterm kyber.Scalar, participants []kyber.Point, t int) (*DistKeyGenerator, error)

NewDistKeyGenerator returns a dist key generator ready to create a fresh distributed key with the regular DKG protocol.

func NewDistKeyHandler 

func NewDistKeyHandler(c *Config) (*DistKeyGenerator, error)

NewDistKeyHandler takes a Config and returns a DistKeyGenerator that is able to drive the DKG or resharing protocol.

func (*DistKeyGenerator) Certified 

func (d *DistKeyGenerator) Certified() bool

Certified returns true if all deals are certified. Normally, it *should* be only a threshold of deals but due to network synchronicity assumption, this is much easier.

func (*DistKeyGenerator) Deals 

func (d *DistKeyGenerator) Deals() (map[int]*Deal, error)

Deals returns all the deals that must be broadcasted to all participants in the new list. The deal corresponding to this DKG is already added to this DKG and is ommitted from the returned map. To know which participant a deal belongs to, loop over the keys as indices in the list of new participants: 

for i,dd := range distDeals {
   sendTo(participants[i],dd)
}

If this method cannot process its own Deal, that indicates a severe problem with the configuration or implementation and results in a panic.

func (*DistKeyGenerator) DistKeyShare 

func (d *DistKeyGenerator) DistKeyShare() (*DistKeyShare, error)

DistKeyShare generates the distributed key relative to this receiver. It throws an error if something is wrong such as not enough deals received. The shared secret can be computed when all deals have been sent and basically consists of a public point and a share. The public point is the sum of all aggregated individual public commits of each individual secrets. The share is evaluated from the global Private Polynomial, basically SUM of fj(i) for a receiver i.

func (*DistKeyGenerator) ExpectedDeals 

func (d *DistKeyGenerator) ExpectedDeals() int

ExpectedDeals returns the number of deals that this node will receive from the other participants.

func (*DistKeyGenerator) ProcessDeal 

func (d *DistKeyGenerator) ProcessDeal(dd *Deal) (*Response, error)

ProcessDeal takes a Deal created by Deals() and stores and verifies it. It returns a Response to broadcast to every other participant, including the old participants. It returns an error in case the deal has already been stored, or if the deal is incorrect (see vss.Verifier.ProcessEncryptedDeal).

func (*DistKeyGenerator) ProcessJustification 

func (d *DistKeyGenerator) ProcessJustification(j *Justification) error

ProcessJustification takes a justification and validates it. It returns an error in case the justification is wrong.

func (*DistKeyGenerator) ProcessResponse 

func (d *DistKeyGenerator) ProcessResponse(resp *Response) (*Justification, error)

ProcessResponse takes a response from every other peer. If the response designates the deal of another participant than this dkg, this dkg stores it and returns nil with a possible error regarding the validity of the response. If the response designates a deal this dkg has issued, then the dkg will process the response, and returns a justification.

func (*DistKeyGenerator) QUAL 

func (d *DistKeyGenerator) QUAL() []int

QUAL returns the index in the list of participants that forms the QUALIFIED set as described in the "New-DKG" protocol by Rabin. Basically, it consists of all valid deals at the end of the protocols. It does NOT take into account any malicious share holder which share may have been revealed, due to invalid complaint. XXX Have a method of retrieving invalid shares ?

func (*DistKeyGenerator) SetTimeout 

func (d *DistKeyGenerator) SetTimeout()

SetTimeout triggers the timeout on all verifiers, and thus makes sure all verifiers have either responded, or have a StatusComplaint response.

func (*DistKeyGenerator) Verifiers 

func (d *DistKeyGenerator) Verifiers() map[uint32]*vss.Verifier

Verifiers returns the current mapping of indexes to verifiers.

type DistKeyShare 

type DistKeyShare struct {
	// Coefficients of the public polynomial holding the public key.
	Commits []kyber.Point
	// Share of the distributed secret which is private information.
	Share *share.PriShare
	// Coefficients of the private polynomial generated by the node holding the
	// share. The final distributed polynomial is the sum of all these
	// individual polynomials, but it is never computed.
	PrivatePoly []kyber.Scalar
}

DistKeyShare holds the share of a distributed key for a participant.

func (*DistKeyShare) Commitments 

func (d *DistKeyShare) Commitments() []kyber.Point

Commitments implements the dss.DistKeyShare interface so either pedersen or rabin dkg can be used with dss.

func (*DistKeyShare) PriShare 

func (d *DistKeyShare) PriShare() *share.PriShare

PriShare implements the dss.DistKeyShare interface so either pedersen or rabin dkg can be used with dss.

func (*DistKeyShare) Public 

func (d *DistKeyShare) Public() kyber.Point

Public returns the public key associated with the distributed private key.

func (*DistKeyShare) Renew 

func (d *DistKeyShare) Renew(suite Suite, g *DistKeyShare) (*DistKeyShare, error)

Renew adds the new distributed key share g (with secret 0) to the distributed key share d.

type Justification 

type Justification struct {
	// Index of the Dealer who answered with this Justification
	Index uint32
	// Justification issued from the Dealer
	Justification *vss.Justification
}

Justification holds the Justification from a Dealer as well as the index of the Dealer in question.

type Response 

type Response struct {
	// Index of the Dealer for which this response is for
	Index uint32
	// Response issued from another participant
	Response *vss.Response
}

Response holds the Response from another participant as well as the index of the target Dealer.

type Suite 

type Suite vss.Suite

Suite wraps the functionalities needed by the dkg package
