Add package jsontypes that implements a subset of the custom libs/json
package. Specifically it handles encoding and decoding of interface types
wrapped in "tagged" JSON objects. It omits the deep reflection on arbitrary
types, preserving only the handling of type tags wrapper encoding.
- Register interface types (Evidence, PubKey, PrivKey) for tagged encoding.
- Update the existing implementations to satisfy the type.
- Register those types with the jsontypes registry.
- Add string tags to 64-bit integer fields where needed.
- Add marshalers to structs that export interface-typed fields.
At Oasis we have spend some time writing a new Ed25519/X25519/sr25519 implementation called curve25519-voi. This PR switches the import from ed25519consensus/go-schnorrkel, which should lead to performance gains on most systems.
Summary of changes:
* curve25519-voi is now used for Ed25519 operations, following the existing ZIP-215 semantics.
* curve25519-voi's public key cache is enabled (hardcoded size of 4096 entries, should be tuned, see the code comment) to accelerate repeated Ed25519 verification with the same public key(s).
* (BREAKING) curve25519-voi is now used for sr25519 operations. This is a breaking change as the current sr25519 support does something decidedly non-standard when going from a MiniSecretKey to a SecretKey and or PublicKey (The expansion routine is called twice). While I believe the new behavior (that expands once and only once) to be more "correct", this changes the semantics as implemented.
* curve25519-voi is now used for merlin since the included STROBE implementation produces much less garbage on the heap.
Side issues fixed:
* The version of go-schnorrkel that is currently imported by tendermint has a badly broken batch verification implementation. Upstream has fixed the issue after I reported it, so the version should be bumped in the interim.
Open design questions/issues:
* As noted, the public key cache size should be tuned. It is currently backed by a trivial thread-safe LRU cache, which is not scan-resistant, but replacing it with something better is a matter of implementing an interface.
* As far as I can tell, the only reason why serial verification on batch failure is necessary is to provide more detailed error messages (that are only used in some unit tests). If you trust the batch verification to be consistent with serial verification then the fallback can be eliminated entirely (the BatchVerifier provided by the new library supports an option that omits the fallback if this is chosen as the way forward).
* curve25519-voi's sr25519 support could use more optimization and more eyes on the code. The algorithm unfortunately is woefully under-specified, and the implementation was done primarily because I got really sad when I actually looked at go-schnorrkel, and we do not use the algorithm at this time.
## Description
This PR aims to make the crypto.PubKey interface more intuitive.
Changes:
- `VerfiyBytes` -> `VerifySignature`
Before `Bytes()` was amino encoded, now since it is the byte representation should we get rid of it entirely?
EDIT: decided to keep `Bytes()` as it is useful if you are using the interface instead of the concrete key
Closes: #XXX
Migrates the `rpc` package to use new JSON encoder in #4955. Branched off of that PR.
Tests pass, but I haven't done any manual testing beyond that. This should be handled as part of broader 0.34 testing.

We used to use a fork for a modified bcrypt so we could pass our own
randomness but this was largely unecessary, unused, and a burden.
So now we just use the mainline Go crypto lib.

* crypto: Add benchmarking code for signature schemes
This does a slight refactor for the key generation code. It now calls a
seperate unexported method to allow generation from a reader. I think this
will actually reduce time in generation, due to no longer initializing an
extra slice. This was needed in order to enable benchmarking.
This uses an internal package for the benchmarking code, so that this can
be standardized without being exported in the public API. The benchmarking
code is derived from agl/ed25519's benchmarking code, and has copied the
license over.
Closes#1984
The privkey.Generate method here was a custom-made method for deriving
a private key from another private key. This function is currently
not used anywhere in our codebase, and has not been reviewed enough
that it would be secure to use. This removes that method. We should
adopt the official ed25519 HD derivation once that has been standardized,
in order to fulfill this need.

* crypto/secp256k1: Add godocs, remove indirection in privkeys
The following was previously done for creating secp256k1 private keys:
First obtain privkey bytes. Then create a private key in the
underlying library, with scalar exponent equal to privKeyBytes.
(The method called was secp256k1.PrivKeyFromBytes,
fb90c334df/btcec/privkey.go (L21))
Then the private key was serialized using the underlying library, which just
returns back the bytes that comprised the scalar exponent, but padded to be
exactly 32 bytes.
fb90c334df/btcec/privkey.go (L70)
Thus the entire indirection of calling the underlying library can be avoided
by just ensuring that we pass in a 32 byte value. A test case has even be written
to show this more clearly in review.
* crypto/secp256k1: Address PR comments
Squash this commit
* crypto: Remove note about re-registering amino paths when unnecessary.
This commit should be squashed.
This commit updates the godocs for the package, and adds an optimization
to the privkey.Pubkey() method.
The optimization is that in golang, the private key (due to interface
compatibility reasons) has a copy of the public key stored inside of it.
Therefore if this copy has already been computed, there is no need to
recompute it.
Currently the top level directory contains basically all of the code
for the crypto package. This PR moves the crypto code into submodules
in a similar manner to what `golang/x/crypto` does. This improves code
organization.
