# Code guidelines
|
|
|
|
Use go style comments for all public functions, structs, and constants.
|
|
Export only what is absolutely necessary.
|
|
|
|
# The Commit Process
|
|
|
|
When contributing code, please follow these guidelines:
|
|
|
|
- Fork the repository and make your changes in a feature branch
|
|
- Include unit and integration tests for any new features and updates to existing tests
|
|
- Ensure that the unit and integration tests run successfully.
|
|
- Check that the lint tests pass
|
|
|
|
## Important
|
|
Use `git rebase origin/master` to limit creating merge commits.
|
|
Kryptology accepts single commits. If you have more than one, they will be
|
|
squashed when merged.
|
|
|
|
## Commit Email Address
|
|
Your commit email address must match your GitHub or GitLab email address. For more information, see https://help.github.com/articles/setting-your-commit-email-address-in-git/.
|
|
|
|
## Commit messages
|
|
|
|
Each commit message consists of a header, a body, and a footer.
|
|
|
|
The header includes a type, a scope and a subject:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
|
|
<BLANK LINE>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<BLANK LINE>
|
|
<footer>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`<subject>` *required*, must not be longer than 100 characters.
|
|
|
|
`<type` *required*, must be lower case and have one of the following values:
|
|
|
|
- `build:` changes that affect the build system or external dependencies. Kryptology uses buildkite.
|
|
- `chore:` some minor change that doesn't fall in any of the other types
|
|
- `ci:` changes to the continuous integration configuration files
|
|
- `docs:` documentation only change
|
|
- `feat:` new feature
|
|
- `fix:` a bug fix
|
|
|
|
`<scope>` *optional*, must be lower case and have a tag about which primitive it affects like 'tecdsa/dkls', 'paillier', 'verenc'.
|
|
|
|
`<subject>` *optional*, must be lower case and not end in a period describing changes in the imperative-mood.
|
|
|
|
`<body>` *optional*, characters no more 100 wide, must have a blank line above it describing changes in the imperative-mood.
|
|
|
|
`<footer>` *optional*, must not be longer than 100 characters.

**Kryptology requires that all commits are signed by a PGP key.**

## Issues and Bugs
|
|
|
|
If you find a bug in the source code, help us by submitting an issue to the repository. Even better, submit a Pull Request with a fix.
|
|
|
|
Before submitting an issue search the archive, maybe your question is already answered.
|
|
|
|
If the issue is a bug, and hasn't been reported, open a new issue. Help us to maximize the effort we can spend fixing issues and adding new features, by not reporting duplicate issues.
|
|
|
|
For security bugs see the security [policy](SECURITY.md).
|
|
|
|
In general, providing the following information will increase the chances of the issue being handled quickly:
|
|
|
|
**Expected Behavior** - Is there documentation or an example that represents the discrepancy?
|
|
|
|
**Actual Behavior** - Be sure to explain why this is a bug for you.
|
|
|
|
**Steps to Reproduce the Problem** - Code snippets and screen shots are always helpful.
|
|
|
|
**Environment** - What hardware, OS, and versions are you using?
|
|
|
|
**Suggest a Fix** - if you can't fix the bug yourself, perhaps you can point to what might cause the problem (line of code or commit)
|
|
|
|
## Referencing
|
|
|
|
When contributing a new protocol or cryptosystem please include references, page numbers and equations.
|
|
Document any deviations from the protocol and include an updated security proof if needed.
|
|
|
|
## Hashing functions
|
|
|
|
When using hash functions in protocols, use the following guidelines when
|
|
|
|
32-byte output - SHA3-256
|
|
\*-byte output - SHAKE-256
|
|
|
|
Sigma protocols use [Merlin](https://merlin.cool/) transcripts.
|
|
|
|
## Constant time
|
|
|
|
We make every effort to make code cryptographically constant time. All contributions to cryptography related code
|
|
should be constant time unless explicitly stated and why.
|
|
|
|
Below are some algorithms for computing constant time operations that can be used and are meant to be examples.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// conditionalMove returns x when i == 0 and y when i == 1
|
|
func conditionalMove(x, y *[4]uint64, i int) {
|
|
b := uint64(-i)
|
|
x[0] ^= (x[0] ^ y[0]) & b
|
|
x[1] ^= (x[1] ^ y[1]) & b
|
|
x[2] ^= (x[2] ^ y[2]) & b
|
|
x[3] ^= (x[3] ^ y[3]) & b
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// conditionalNegate negates x if i == 1, otherwise x is untouched
|
|
func conditionalNegate(x *[4]uint64, i int) {
|
|
b := uint64(-i)
|
|
x[0] = (x[0] ^ b) - b
|
|
x[1] = (x[1] ^ b) - b
|
|
x[2] = (x[2] ^ b) - b
|
|
x[3] = (x[3] ^ b) - b
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// conditionalAdd computes x+=y if i == 1, otherwise x is untouched
|
|
func conditionalAdd(x, y *[4]uint64, i int) {
|
|
b := uint64(-i)
|
|
x[0] += y[0] & b
|
|
x[1] += y[1] & b
|
|
x[2] += y[2] & b
|
|
x[3] += y[3] & b
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// conditionalSub computes x-=y if i == 1, otherwise x is untouched
|
|
func conditionalSub(x, y *[4]uint64, i int) {
|
|
b := uint64(-i)
|
|
x[0] -= y[0] & b
|
|
x[1] -= y[1] & b
|
|
x[2] -= y[2] & b
|
|
x[3] -= y[3] & b
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// isZero returns 1 if x is zero or 0 if non-zero
|
|
func isZero(x *[4]uint64) int {
|
|
t := x[0]
|
|
t |= x[1]
|
|
t |= x[2]
|
|
t |= x[3]
|
|
return int(((int64(t) | int64(-t)) >> 63) + 1)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// isNonZero returns 1 if x is non-zero, 0 otherwise
|
|
func isNonZero(x *[4]uint64) int {
|
|
t := x[0]
|
|
t |= x[1]
|
|
t |= x[2]
|
|
t |= x[3]
|
|
return int(-((int64(t) | int64(-t)) >> 63))
|
|
}
|
|
```
