Class BLS12_381MessageAugmentation

java.lang.Object
org.bouncycastle.crypto.bls.BLS12_381MessageAugmentation

public class BLS12_381MessageAugmentation extends Object
BLS signatures MessageAugmentation suite over BLS12-381, per draft-irtf-cfrg-bls-signature: signature suite BLS_SIG_BLS12381G2_XMD:SHA-256_SSWU_RO_AUG_.

Differs from BLS12_381BasicScheme by prepending the public-key encoding to the message before hashing. The augmentation defends against rogue-key attacks in aggregate-verification without the standalone proof-of-possession step that BLS12_381ProofOfPossession requires.

The public-key prefix used in the hash-to-curve input is the Zcash-format 48-byte compressed G1 encoding produced by BLS12_381Serialization.compressG1(ECPoint), matching draft-irtf-cfrg-bls-signature's point_to_pubkey so signatures are potentially interoperable with other BLS implementations once verified against published test vectors.

  • Field Details

    • DST

      public static final byte[] DST
  • Method Details

    • sign

      public static BLS12_381G2Point sign(BigInteger sk, byte[] message)
      Sign under the MessageAugmentation suite: sig = sk * H(SkToPk(sk) || message) with the AUG DST.
    • verify

      public static boolean verify(ECPoint pk, byte[] message, BLS12_381G2Point signature)
      Verify under the MessageAugmentation suite. Returns true iff pk is a valid prime-order G1 point, signature is a valid prime-order G2 point, and the pairing equation e(G1_gen, sig) == e(pk, H(pk || message)) holds.
    • aggregateVerify

      public static boolean aggregateVerify(ECPoint[] pks, byte[][] messages, BLS12_381G2Point sigAgg)
      Aggregate verification under the MessageAugmentation suite. Distinct messages are not required: the augmentation makes each H(pk_i || msg_i) input unique even when the msg_i repeat.
