Partial Audit

NameVersionReasonNotes
ed448-goldilocksv0.4.0Doesn't have a lot of users on github (12) or crates.io (~2k recent downloads) and it's not been previously audited and reviewedA pure-Rust implementation of Ed448 and Curve448 and Decaf.

The following ed448-goldilocks modules are used by frost-ed448:

  • src/field/scalar.rs
  • src/curve/edwards/extended.rs (converting to/from TwistedExtendedPoint, MontgomeryPoint and AffinePoint are out of scope)
  • src/field/mod.rs
  • src/curve/scalar_mul/variable_base.rs

Out of Scope

The following crates and dependencies are out of scope for the audit.

FROST Crates

NameVersionNotes

NameVersionReasonNotes
byteorderv1.4.3Library for reading/writing numbers in big-endian and little-endian.
criterionv0.4.0Statistics-driven micro-benchmarking library
debugless-unwrapv0.0.4This library provides alternatives to the standard .unwrap* methods on Result and Option that don't require Debug to be implemented on the unexpected variant.

visibilityv0.0.1Attribute to override the visibility of items (useful in conjunction with cfg_attr)
zeroizev1.5.7This crate implements a portable approach to securely zeroing memory using techniques which guarantee they won't be "optimized away" by the compiler.
