From 2241ae6d14df187e2c8d6fe5b44e3d850474af38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gregory Maxwell Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2020 14:58:28 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Remove secret-dependant non-constant time operation in ecmult_const. ECMULT_CONST_TABLE_GET_GE was branching on its secret input. Also makes secp256k1_gej_double_var implemented as a wrapper on secp256k1_gej_double_nonzero instead of the other way around. This wasn't a constant time bug but it was fragile and could easily become one in the future if the double_var algorithm is changed. --- src/ecmult_const_impl.h | 8 +++--- src/group.h | 5 ++-- src/group_impl.h | 55 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- src/tests_exhaustive.c | 2 +- src/util.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/ecmult_const_impl.h b/src/ecmult_const_impl.h index aaa576ada4cc2..bce6d0929ff78 100644 --- a/src/ecmult_const_impl.h +++ b/src/ecmult_const_impl.h @@ -15,8 +15,9 @@ /* This is like `ECMULT_TABLE_GET_GE` but is constant time */ #define ECMULT_CONST_TABLE_GET_GE(r,pre,n,w) do { \ int m; \ - int abs_n = (n) * (((n) > 0) * 2 - 1); \ - int idx_n = abs_n / 2; \ + int mask = (n) >> (sizeof(n) * CHAR_BIT - 1); \ + int abs_n = ((n) + mask) ^ mask; \ + int idx_n = abs_n >> 1; \ secp256k1_fe neg_y; \ VERIFY_CHECK(((n) & 1) == 1); \ VERIFY_CHECK((n) >= -((1 << ((w)-1)) - 1)); \ @@ -172,6 +173,7 @@ static void secp256k1_ecmult_const(secp256k1_gej *r, const secp256k1_ge *a, cons for (i = 0; i < ECMULT_TABLE_SIZE(WINDOW_A); i++) { secp256k1_ge_mul_lambda(&pre_a_lam[i], &pre_a[i]); } + } #endif @@ -195,7 +197,7 @@ static void secp256k1_ecmult_const(secp256k1_gej *r, const secp256k1_ge *a, cons int n; int j; for (j = 0; j < WINDOW_A - 1; ++j) { - secp256k1_gej_double_nonzero(r, r, NULL); + secp256k1_gej_double_nonzero(r, r); } n = wnaf_1[i]; diff --git a/src/group.h b/src/group.h index 8e122ab429c56..826fa3cc97571 100644 --- a/src/group.h +++ b/src/group.h @@ -95,9 +95,8 @@ static int secp256k1_gej_is_infinity(const secp256k1_gej *a); /** Check whether a group element's y coordinate is a quadratic residue. */ static int secp256k1_gej_has_quad_y_var(const secp256k1_gej *a); -/** Set r equal to the double of a.
