### Signature Verification

The solomachine public key must sign over the following struct:

```typescript
interface SignBytes {
sequence: uint64
timestamp: uint64
diversifier: string
path: []byte
data: []byte
}
```

### Misbehaviour
AdityaSripal marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved

`Misbehaviour` for solo machines consists of a sequence and two signatures over different messages at that sequence.

### ClientState Methods

All of the functions defined below are methods on the `ClientState` interface. Thus, the solomachine clientstate is always in scope for these functions.

### Validity predicate

The solo machine client `checkValidityAndUpdateState` function checks that the currently registered public key has signed over the new public key with the correct sequence.
The solo machine client `verifyClientMessage` function checks that the currently registered public key and diversifier signed over the client message at the expected sequence. If the client message is an update, then it must be the current sequence. If the client message is misbehaviour then it must be the sequence of the misbehaviour.

nit on the wording here, what about something like:

The solo machine client verifyClientMessage function checks that the private key associated with the current public key has signed over the client message using the current diversifier and expected sequence.

The diversifier is part of the client message sign bytes which we verify using the pub key, right?
I think it should also be clear that the private key does the actual signing

I think the wording with public key is consistent with other documentation regarding public-private key cryptography. Reworded to clarify the diversifier part


```typescript
function checkValidityAndUpdateState(
clientState: ClientState,
header: Header) {
assert(header.sequence === clientState.consensusState.sequence)
assert(header.timestamp >= clientstate.consensusState.timestamp)
assert(checkSignature(header.newPublicKey, header.sequence, header.diversifier, header.signature))

In this PR (assuming it gets merged) we are changing the signature of 07-tendermint's verifyClientMessage to return a boolean. Should we do a similar update here then?

I actually prefer the error at least in implementations, since it bubbles up more information to user

switch typeof(ClientMessage) {
case Header:
verifyHeader(clientMessage)
// misbehaviour only suppported for current public key and diversifier on solomachine
case Misbehaviour:
verifyMisbehaviour(clientMessage)
}
}
```

### Misbehaviour predicate

Any duplicate signature on different messages by the current public key freezes a solo machine client.

Maybe not relevant, but in ibc-go this field is called NewPubKey..., should we have a consistent name on both spec and implementation?

### State verification functions

All solo machine client state verification functions simply check a signature, which must be provided by the solo machine.
### Misbehaviour predicate

Note that value concatenation should be implemented in a state-machine-specific escaped fashion.
Since misbehaviour is checked in `verifyClientMessage`, if the client message is of type `Misbehaviour` then we return true
