## Description
Expose p2p functions for use in the sdk.
These functions could also be copied over to the sdk. I dont have a preference of which is better.
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
Trying to debug a possible hashing issue, writing test vectors on 0.34 and then porting them to master to double-check it's not a hashing issue.
## Description
Internalize some libs. This reduces the amount ot public API tendermint is supporting. The moved libraries are mainly ones that are used within Tendermint-core.
## Description
- Add `context.Context` to Privval interface
This pr does not introduce context into our custom privval connection protocol because this will be removed in the next release. When this pr is released.
## Description
Since events are not hashed into the header they can be non deterministic. Changing an event is not consensus breaking. Will update docs in the spec
time_iota_ms is intended to ensure that an honest validator always generates timestamps
with time increasing monotonically. For this purpose, it always suffices to have this parameter
set to `1ms`. Allowing users to choose different numbers increases bug surface area.
Thus the code now ignores the user provided time_iota_ms parameter (marking it as unused),
and uses 1ms internally.
