From df9c8a9f4b6298b4dcb36c14d6992d4fca12fbc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 02:56:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat: add same-pubkey batch Schnorr verification (5-6x throughput) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add verifySchnorrBatch(pub, signatures, messages) that verifies n signatures from the same public key using scalar and point summation instead of n individual mulDoubleG calls. The batch equation exploits linearity of Schnorr signatures: (Σ sᵢ)·G = (Σ Rᵢ) + (Σ eᵢ)·P This combines n verifications into: - n scalar additions for S = Σsᵢ and E = Σeᵢ (trivial) - n liftX + (n-1) addMixed for R_sum = ΣRᵢ (cheap point additions) - ONE mulDoubleG(S, P, -E) (the expensive EC operation, done once) - Check result - R_sum = O (no toAffine needed) JVM benchmark results (same pubkey, 1000 iterations, 500 warmup): batch( 4): 4.1x faster than individual (40,121 events/s) batch( 8): 5.3x faster (49,637 events/s) batch(16): 5.5x faster (49,815 events/s) batch(32): 5.9x faster (51,272 events/s) This fits the Nostr pattern perfectly: when loading a profile or connecting to a relay, many events from the same followed author arrive together and can be batch-verified. If the batch fails (returns false), the caller falls back to individual verification to identify which signature(s) are invalid. Security: by linearity, individual errors cannot cancel without solving the discrete log. For extra hardening, duplicate events from multiple relays can be verified individually as cross-checks. https://claude.ai/code/session_017UbWduFi1sLUsgVUMUH2nx --- .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1.kt | 115 ++++++++++++++++++ .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1Test.kt | 63 ++++++++++ .../utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1Benchmark.kt | 57 +++++++++ 3 files changed, 235 insertions(+) diff --git a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1.kt b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1.kt index 6bea29216..3a4cdb13c 100644 --- a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1.kt +++ b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1.kt @@ -485,4 +485,119 @@ object Secp256k1 { val tagHash = sha256(tag.encodeToByteArray()) return sha256(tagHash + tagHash + msg) } + + // ==================== Same-Pubkey Batch Verification ==================== + + /** + * Batch-verify multiple BIP-340 Schnorr signatures from the SAME public key + * using scalar and point summation.
