Coverage Interpretation

This document should not be read as a claim that raw module counts or raw assertion counts alone are enough to eliminate every possible defect.

The intended standard is stronger:

1. Major failure classes should each map to one or more deterministic audit surfaces.
2. Gaps should be named explicitly instead of hidden behind aggregate numbers.
3. New subsystems should extend the class-coverage map, not only the assertion total.

In practice, the self-audit target is near-total coverage of known problem classes with explicit residual-risk accounting for anything not yet converted into a deterministic check.

[46/55] C ABI Negative Contract Tests -- ~150 checks

Systematic negative testing of all 50+ ufsecp_* C API functions for correct error propagation. Every function must return the documented error code (never crash, never silently succeed) when called with:

• NULL required pointers → UFSECP_ERR_NULL_ARG
• Zero private key (= 0 mod n) → UFSECP_ERR_BAD_KEY
• Key equal to group order (= 0 mod n) → UFSECP_ERR_BAD_KEY
• All-zero / off-curve public key → UFSECP_ERR_BAD_PUBKEY or error
• All-zero signature (R = 0) → UFSECP_ERR_BAD_SIG or UFSECP_ERR_VERIFY_FAIL
• Wrong public key in verify → UFSECP_ERR_VERIFY_FAIL
• Truncated / garbage DER → UFSECP_ERR_BAD_INPUT
• Output buffer too small → UFSECP_ERR_BUF_TOO_SMALL
• BIP-32 seed length < 16 bytes → UFSECP_ERR_BAD_INPUT

Covers 12 function groups: context, seckey, pubkey, ECDSA, Schnorr, ECDH, hashing, addresses, WIF, BIP-32, Taproot, pubkey arithmetic.

[52/55] Secure Memory Erasure Verification -- 25 checks

Verifies secp256k1::detail::secure_erase() actually zeroes memory and that the zeroing survives compiler dead-store elimination optimisations (volatile-pointer readback test):

• SE-1..8: Heap buffers of sizes 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 bytes zeroed correctly
• SE-9..12: Stack buffers (32-byte, 64-byte), std::array<uint8_t,32>, scalar-sized struct
• SE-13..14: Zero-length erase is safe; 256-byte heap buffer zeroed
• SE-15..20: Signing path nonce determinism — same (key, msg) → identical ECDSA sig twice (proves nonce state is erased and re-derived, not leaked or reused)
• SE-21..24: 0xA5 and 0xFF sentinel patterns survive until erase call, then zero
• SE-25: Schnorr BIP-340 nonce determinism (aux=0)

[53/55] CT Namespace Discipline (Source-Level Scan) -- ~20 checks

Source-level static analysis verifying every code path handling secret data uses secp256k1::ct:: (constant-time) operations and not secp256k1::fast:: (variable-time):

• Opens cpu/src/ct_sign.cpp, ecdh.cpp, bip32.cpp, taproot.cpp, musig2.cpp at runtime
• Strips C++ comments before scanning to eliminate false positives in comment text
• Required patterns: ct::generator_mul, ct::scalar_inverse, secure_erase, ct::scalar_mul, secp256k1/ct/
• Prohibited patterns: fast::generator_mul, fast::scalar_mul, fast::point_mul
• Structural checks: ct_sign.cpp must not #include "secp256k1/fast.hpp"; must include detail/secure_erase.hpp; ecdh.cpp must include ct/point.hpp and call secure_erase
• Advisory skip (not hard fail) when source tree is absent (binary-only deployment)

[54/55] RFC 6979 Nonce Uniqueness Monitor -- 30 checks

Comprehensive verification of nonce determinism, uniqueness, and isolation:

• NU-1..6: ECDSA RFC 6979 determinism — same (key=1, msg[i]) → identical sig across 3 calls
• NU-7..12: ECDSA r-value uniqueness — 6 distinct messages with same key → 6 distinct r values
• NU-13..17: ECDSA key isolation — 5 different keys, same message → 5 distinct r values
• NU-18..21: Schnorr BIP-340 determinism — aux_rand=0, 4 messages, each stable across 3 calls
• NU-22..25: Schnorr R.x uniqueness — 4 distinct messages → 4 distinct R.x commitments
• NU-26..28: Hedged Schnorr — 3 different aux_rand bytes → 3 different R values (BIP-340 randomness)
• NU-29: ECDSA r ≠ Schnorr R.x for same (key, msg) — different nonce derivation paths
• NU-30: 5-key × 5-msg matrix — 25 ECDSA signatures → 25 pairwise distinct r values

[55/55] Public Parse Path Strictness Audit -- ~60 checks

Systematically verifies that every public parse/decode function rejects ALL malformed inputs with the correct documented error code — never silently accepting corrupt data. This directly addresses the "Parsing and Validation Unification" engineering requirement.

• PS-1..16: ufsecp_pubkey_parse (compressed) — all-zero, all-0xFF, x=0, prefix 0x01/0x05, truncated (32-byte, 1-byte, 0-byte), NULL, parity-flip
• PS-17..22: ufsecp_seckey_verify — scalar=0, scalar=n, scalar=n+1, scalar=0xFF×32; scalar=1 and scalar=n−1 accepted
• PS-23..30: ufsecp_ecdsa_sig_from_der — all-zero, wrong tag (0x00, 0x31), truncated, inflated length, zero-length, NULL; valid DER round-trips
• PS-31..36: ufsecp_wif_decode — NULL, empty string, single char, corrupted checksum, garbage WIF-length; valid WIF decodes to correct key
• PS-37..40: ufsecp_bip32_master — NULL seed, 15-byte seed (<16 BIP-32 minimum), zero-length; 32-byte seed accepted
• PS-41..48: ufsecp_pubkey_parse (uncompressed, 65-byte) — all-zero, x=0/y=0, x=G.x/y=0 (off-curve), prefix 0x05/0x06 (hybrid), truncated; valid uncompressed round-trips
• PS-49..53: ufsecp_pubkey_xonly — NULL, x=0, x=p (field prime), x=2 (not on curve); valid compressed → x-only extraction correct

Harness	Target	Input Size	Invariants Checked
fuzz_field	FieldElement arithmetic	64 bytes (2 x 32B)	add/sub roundtrip, mul-by-1 identity, aa==square, ainv(a)==1
fuzz_scalar	Scalar arithmetic	64 bytes (2 x 32B)	add/sub roundtrip, mul-by-1, a-a==0, a+0==a, distributive law

What Is NOT Yet Covered (Future Work)

Category	Status	Notes
Cross-library differential (vs bitcoin-core/libsecp256k1)	NOT YET	Would be strongest credibility signal for external auditors; nightly has test_cross_libsecp256k1 but not in unified runner
GPU correctness audit	DEFERRED	Separate report when GPU side is complete
GPU memory safety (compute-sanitizer)	DEFERRED	Separate report
Reproducible build proof	NOT YET	Two independent machines -> identical binary hash
SBOM (CycloneDX/SPDX)	PARTIAL	Generated in release pipeline
Deep dudect (perf counters, cache probes)	PARTIAL	dudect full runs nightly; perf stat / cache analysis not automated

How to Run

# Configure
cmake -S Secp256K1fast -B build_rel -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

# Build
cmake --build build_rel -j

# Run all CTest targets
ctest --test-dir build_rel --output-on-failure

# Run unified audit only
./build_rel/audit/unified_audit_runner

# Run libFuzzer harnesses (requires clang)
cd cpu/fuzz
clang++ -fsanitize=fuzzer,address -O2 -std=c++20 \
  -I ../include fuzz_field.cpp ../src/field.cpp -o fuzz_field
./fuzz_field -max_len=64 -runs=10000000

# Run with sanitizers
cmake -S . -B build/asan -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
