From ff2a00587ec6fd322a20ef59c02869326b12bd0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2026 16:47:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] refactor: document secp256k1 implementation and remove dead code MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Major cleanup of the pure-Kotlin secp256k1 implementation for readability: Documentation: - Added file-level architecture comments explaining representation choices (why 8×32-bit limbs, why not 5×52-bit like C), field reduction strategy, and performance approach (mutable output params, thread-local scratch) - Added single-paragraph explainers for domain jargon: Jacobian coordinates, Fermat inversion vs safegcd, windowed scalar multiplication, Shamir's trick, GLV endomorphism, wNAF encoding - Documented every public function with purpose, cost, and usage context - Added inline comments explaining the math in point doubling/addition formulas Removed dead code (-400 lines): - straussGlvGP: GLV-accelerated Strauss method (had sign-handling bug) - scalarSplitLambda, SplitResult, isHigh: GLV scalar decomposition - wnaf, getBitsVar, addBitTo: wNAF encoding functions - mulLambdaAffine, addMixedWithSign, buildOddMultiplesTable: GLV support - All GLV constants (BETA, LAMBDA, MINUS_LAMBDA, G1, G2, MINUS_B1, MINUS_B2) - U256.mulShift: used only by GLV scalar decomposition These are preserved in git history and can be restored once the wNAF interaction bug with the verify path is understood and fixed. Structure: - Field.kt: Clear sections (U256 → FieldP → ScalarN) with headers - Point.kt: Sections (types → doubling → mixed add → full add → scalar mul → conversion → serialization) with formula documentation - Secp256k1.kt: Grouped by purpose (keys → BIP-340 → tweaks) with algorithm steps documented in KDoc https://claude.ai/code/session_01BhU63WUe9AhikZxRdw3Lpg --- .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/Field.kt | 523 +++++++------ .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/Point.kt | 709 ++++++------------ .../quartz/utils/secp256k1/Secp256k1.kt | 94 ++- 3 files changed, 583 insertions(+), 743 deletions(-) diff --git a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Field.kt b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Field.kt index be3020384..9a58c0a0b 100644 --- a/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Field.kt +++ b/quartz/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/vitorpamplona/quartz/utils/secp256k1/Field.kt @@ -20,24 +20,77 @@ */ package com.vitorpamplona.quartz.utils.secp256k1 +// ===================================================================================== +// 256-BIT ARITHMETIC AND MODULAR FIELD OPERATIONS FOR secp256k1 +// ===================================================================================== +// +// This file implements the foundational math needed for elliptic curve cryptography on +// the secp256k1 curve (used by Bitcoin and Nostr). It provides: +// +// - U256: Raw 256-bit unsigned integer arithmetic (add, subtract, multiply, compare) +// - FieldP: Arithmetic modulo p (the field prime), used for point coordinates +// - ScalarN: Arithmetic modulo n (the group order), used for private keys and signatures +// +// REPRESENTATION +// ============== +// A 256-bit number is stored as IntArray(8) in little-endian order. Each Int holds 32 bits, +// treated as unsigned. Element [0] is the least significant. For example, the number 1 is +// stored as [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]. +// +// We chose 8×32-bit limbs over alternatives like 5×52-bit because Kotlin's Long (64-bit) +// can hold the product of two 32-bit values without overflow (32+32=64 ≤ 63 signed bits +// for most cases). The C reference implementation uses 5×52-bit with compiler-specific +// __int128 which is unavailable on JVM. A future optimization could use 5×52-bit with +// split-product techniques to reduce the inner product count from 64 to ~40. +// +// FIELD REDUCTION +// =============== +// secp256k1's field prime p = 2^256 - 2^32 - 977 has a special sparse form that makes +// modular reduction efficient. After a 512-bit multiplication result, we split into +// lo (256-bit) + hi (256-bit) and use the identity: +// +// hi × 2^256 ≡ hi × (2^32 + 977) (mod p) +// +// This replaces a generic 512-bit mod with a 256×33-bit multiply and add. A second +// round handles any remaining overflow. This is much cheaper than generic Barrett or +// Montgomery reduction because secp256k1's prime was specifically chosen for this property. +// +// MODULAR INVERSION +// ================= +// We use Fermat's little theorem: a^(-1) = a^(p-2) mod p, computed via repeated +// squaring (~255 squarings + ~255 multiplications). This is simple but expensive. +// +// The C reference library uses a faster algorithm called "safegcd" (Bernstein-Yang 2019) +// that computes the modular inverse using ~590 cheap division steps (shifts and additions) +// instead of ~510 field multiplications. Implementing safegcd would make inversion ~10× +// faster, but since inversion only happens once per signature verification (in the final +// Jacobian-to-affine conversion), the total impact on verify throughput is modest (~10%). +// +// PERFORMANCE APPROACH +// ==================== +// Hot-path functions (mul, sqr, add, sub) take an output IntArray parameter to avoid +// allocating a new array on every call. During a single signature verification, the field +// multiplication is called thousands of times — allocating a new IntArray(8) each time +// would create significant GC pressure on Android. Convenience wrappers that allocate +// are provided for non-hot-path code. +// +// A thread-local IntArray(16) scratch buffer is reused across field multiplications to +// avoid allocating a 512-bit intermediate on every mul/sqr call. +// ===================================================================================== + /** - * 256-bit unsigned integer arithmetic for secp256k1 field and scalar operations. + * Raw 256-bit unsigned integer arithmetic. * - * Numbers are represented as IntArray(8) in little-endian order where each element - * holds 32 bits (treated as unsigned).
