crypto/elliptic: import fiat-crypto P-521 field implementation
Fiat Cryptography (https://github.com/mit-plv/fiat-crypto) is a project that produces prime order field implementations (the code that does arithmetic modulo a prime number) based on a formally verified model. The formal verification covers some of the most subtle and hard to test parts of an elliptic curve implementation, like carry chains. It would probably have prevented #20040 and #43786. This CL imports a 64-bit implementation of the P-521 base field, replacing the horribly slow and catastrophically variable time big.Int CurveParams implementation. The code in p521_fiat64.go is generated reproducibly by fiat-crypto, building and running the Dockerfile according to the README. The code in fiat/p521.go is a thin and idiomatic wrapper around the fiat-crypto code. It includes an Invert method generated with the help of github.com/mmcloughlin/addchain. The code in elliptic/p521.go is a line-by-line port of the CurveParams implementation. Lsh(x, N) was replaced with repeated Add(x, x) calls. Mul(x, x) was replaced with Square(x). Mod calls were removed, as all operations are modulo P. Likewise, Add calls to bring values back to positive were removed. The ScalarMult ladder implementation is now constant time, copied from p224ScalarMult. Only other notable changes are adding a p512Point type to keep (x, y, z) together, and making addJacobian and doubleJacobian methods on that type, with the usual receiver semantics to save 4 allocations per step. This amounts to a proof of concept, and is far from a mature elliptic curve implementation. Here's a non-exhaustive list of things that need improvement, most of which are pre-existing issues with crypto/elliptic. Some of these can be fixed without API change, so can't. - Marshal and Unmarshal still use the slow, variable time big.Int arithmetic. The Curve interface does not expose field operations, so we'll have to make our own abstraction. - Point addition uses an incomplete Jacobian formula, which has variable time behaviors for points at infinity and equal points. There are better, complete formulae these days, but I wanted to keep this CL reviewable against the existing code. - The scalar multiplication ladder is still heavily variable time. This is easy to fix and I'll do it in a follow-up CL, but I wanted to keep this one easier to review. - Fundamentally, values have to go in and out of big.Int representation when they pass through the Curve interface, which is both slow and slightly variable-time. - There is no scalar field implementation, so crypto/ecdsa ends up using big.Int for signing. - Extending this to P-384 would involve either duplicating all P-521 code, or coming up with some lower-level interfaces for the base field. Even better, generics, which would maybe let us save heap allocations due to virtual calls. - The readability and idiomaticity of the autogenerated code can improve, although we have a clear abstraction and well-enforced contract, which makes it unlikely we'll have to resort to manually modifying the code. See mit-plv/fiat-crypto#949. - We could also have a 32-bit implementation, since it's almost free to have fiat-crypto generate one. Anyway, it's definitely better than CurveParams, and definitely faster. name old time/op new time/op delta pkg:crypto/elliptic goos:darwin goarch:arm64 ScalarBaseMult/P521-8 4.18ms ± 3% 0.86ms ± 2% -79.50% (p=0.000 n=10+9) ScalarMult/P521-8 4.17ms ± 2% 0.85ms ± 6% -79.68% (p=0.000 n=10+10) pkg:crypto/ecdsa goos:darwin goarch:arm64 Sign/P521-8 4.23ms ± 1% 0.94ms ± 0% -77.70% (p=0.000 n=9+8) Verify/P521-8 8.31ms ± 2% 1.75ms ± 4% -78.99% (p=0.000 n=9+10) GenerateKey/P521-8 4.15ms ± 2% 0.85ms ± 2% -79.49% (p=0.000 n=10+9) name old alloc/op new alloc/op delta pkg:crypto/elliptic goos:darwin goarch:arm64 ScalarBaseMult/P521-8 3.06MB ± 3% 0.00MB ± 0% -99.97% (p=0.000 n=10+10) ScalarMult/P521-8 3.05MB ± 1% 0.00MB ± 0% -99.97% (p=0.000 n=9+10) pkg:crypto/ecdsa goos:darwin goarch:arm64 Sign/P521-8 3.03MB ± 0% 0.01MB ± 0% -99.74% (p=0.000 n=10+8) Verify/P521-8 6.06MB ± 1% 0.00MB ± 0% -99.93% (p=0.000 n=9+9) GenerateKey/P521-8 3.02MB ± 0% 0.00MB ± 0% -99.96% (p=0.000 n=9+10) name old allocs/op new allocs/op delta pkg:crypto/elliptic goos:darwin goarch:arm64 ScalarBaseMult/P521-8 19.8k ± 3% 0.0k ± 0% -99.95% (p=0.000 n=10+10) ScalarMult/P521-8 19.7k ± 1% 0.0k ± 0% -99.95% (p=0.000 n=9+10) pkg:crypto/ecdsa goos:darwin goarch:arm64 Sign/P521-8 19.6k ± 0% 0.1k ± 0% -99.63% (p=0.000 n=10+10) Verify/P521-8 39.2k ± 1% 0.1k ± 0% -99.84% (p=0.000 n=9+10) GenerateKey/P521-8 19.5k ± 0% 0.0k ± 0% -99.91% (p=0.000 n=9+10) Updates #40171 Change-Id: Ic898b09a2388382bf51ec007d9a79d72d44efe10 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/315271 Run-TryBot: Filippo Valsorda <[email protected]> TryBot-Result: Go Bot <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Katie Hockman <[email protected]> Trust: Katie Hockman <[email protected]> Trust: Filippo Valsorda <[email protected]>
