This cleans up the code for handling the checksig and checkmultisig
opcode strict signatures to explicitly call out any semantics that are
likely not obvious and improve readability.
It also introduce new distinct errors for each condition which can
result in a signature being rejected due to not following the strict
encoding requirements and updates reference test adaptor accordingly.
ScriptVerifyNullFail defines that signatures must be empty if a
CHECKSIG or CHECKMULTISIG operation fails.
This commit also enables ScriptVerifyNullFail at the mempool policy
level.
This updates the data driven transaction script tests to use the most
recent format and test data as implemented by Core so the test data can
more easily be updated and help prove cross-compatibility correctness.
In particular, the new format combines the previously separate valid and
invalid test data files into a single file and adds a field for the
expected result. This is a nice improvement since it means tests can
now ensure script failures are due to a specific expected reason as
opposed to only generically detecting failure as the previous format
required.
The btcd script engine typically returns more fine grained errors than
the test data expects, so the test adapter handles this by allowing
expected errors in the test data to be mapped to multiple txscript
errors.
It should also be noted that the tests related to segwit have been
stripped from the data since the segwit PR has not landed in master yet,
however the test adapter does recognize the new ability for optional
segwit data to be supplied, though it will need to properly construct
the transaction using that data when the time comes.
This modifies the NewMsgTx function to accept the transaction version as
a parameter and updates all callers.
The reason for this change is so the transaction version can be bumped
in wire without breaking existing tests and to provide the caller with
the flexibility to create the specific transaction version they desire.
Putting the test code in the same package makes it easier for forks
since they don't have to change the import paths as much and it also
gets rid of the need for internal_test.go to bridge.
Also, do some light cleanup on a few tests while here.
This is mostly a backport of some of the same modifications made in
Decred along with a few additional things cleaned up. In particular,
this updates the code to make use of the new chainhash package.
Also, since this required API changes anyways and the hash algorithm is
no longer tied specifically to SHA, all other functions throughout the
code base which had "Sha" in their name have been changed to Hash so
they are not incorrectly implying the hash algorithm.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Remove the wire.ShaHash type
- Update all references to wire.ShaHash to the new chainhash.Hash type
- Rename the following functions and update all references:
- wire.BlockHeader.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.TxShas -> TxHashes
- wire.MsgTx.TxSha -> TxHash
- blockchain.ShaHashToBig -> HashToBig
- peer.ShaFunc -> peer.HashFunc
- Rename all variables that included sha in their name to include hash
instead
- Update for function name changes in other dependent packages such as
btcutil
- Update copyright dates on all modified files
- Update glide.lock file to use the required version of btcutil
Profiles discovered that lookups into the signature cache included an
expensive comparison to the stored `sigInfo` struct. This lookup had the
potential to be more expensive than directly verifying the signature
itself!
In addition, evictions were rather expensive because they involved
reading from /dev/urandom, or equivalent, for each eviction once the
signature cache was full as well as potentially iterating over every
item in the cache in the worst-case.
To remedy this poor performance several changes have been made:
* Change the lookup key to the fixed sized 32-byte signature hash
* Perform a full equality check only if there is a cache hit which
results in a significant speed up for both insertions and existence
checks
* Override entries in the case of a colliding hash on insert Add an
* .IsEqual() method to the Signature and PublicKey types in the
btcec package to facilitate easy equivalence testing
* Allocate the signature cache map with the max number of entries in
order to avoid unnecessary map re-sizes/allocations
* Optimize evictions from the signature cache Delete the first entry
* seen which is safe from manipulation due to
the pre image resistance of the hash function
* Double the default maximum number of entries within the signature
cache due to the reduction in the size of a cache entry
* With this eviction scheme, removals are effectively O(1)
Fixes#575.
This modifies the conversion of the output index from the JSON-based
test data for valid and invalid transactions as well as the signature
hash type for signature hash tests to first convert to a signed int and
then to an unsigned int. This is necessary because the result of a
direct conversion of a float to an unsigned int is implementation
dependent and doesn't result in the expected value on all platforms.
Also, while here, change the function names in the error prints to match
the actual names.
Fixes#600.
500 tests with various transactions and scripts, verifying that
calcSignatureHash generates the expected hash in each case.
This requires changing SigHashType to uint32; that won't affect the
standard use-cases, but will make calcSignatureHash behave more like the
Core counterpart for non-standard SigHashType settings, like those in
some of these tests.

This commit mimics Bitcoin Core commit bc60b2b4b401f0adff5b8b9678903ff8feb5867b
and includes additional tests from Bitcoin Core commit
cb54d17355864fa08826d6511a0d7692b21ef2c9
Introduce an ECDSA signature verification into btcd in order to
mitigate a certain DoS attack and as a performance optimization.
The benefits of SigCache are two fold. Firstly, usage of SigCache
mitigates a DoS attack wherein an attacker causes a victim's client to
hang due to worst-case behavior triggered while processing attacker
crafted invalid transactions. A detailed description of the mitigated
DoS attack can be found here: https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/fixed-bitcoin-vulnerability-explanation-why-the-signature-cache-is-a-dos-protection/
Secondly, usage of the SigCache introduces a signature verification
optimization which speeds up the validation of transactions within a
block, if they've already been seen and verified within the mempool.
The server itself manages the sigCache instance. The blockManager and
txMempool respectively now receive pointers to the created sigCache
instance. All read (sig triplet existence) operations on the sigCache
will not block unless a separate goroutine is adding an entry (writing)
to the sigCache. GetBlockTemplate generation now also utilizes the
sigCache in order to avoid unnecessarily double checking signatures
when generating a template after previously accepting a txn to the
mempool. Consequently, the CPU miner now also employs the same
optimization.
The maximum number of entries for the sigCache has been introduced as a
config parameter in order to allow users to configure the amount of
memory consumed by this new additional caching.
- Move reference tests to test package since they are intended to
exercise the engine as callers would
- Improve the short form script parsing to allow additional opcodes:
DATA_#, OP_#, FALSE, TRUE
- Make use of a function to decode hex strings rather than manually
defining byte slices
- Update the tests to make use of the short form script parsing logic
rather than manually defining byte slices
- Consistently replace all []byte{} and [][]byte{} with nil
- Define tests only used in a specific function inside that func
- Move invalid flag combination test to engine_test since that is what
it is testing
- Remove all redundant script tests in favor of the JSON-based tests in
the data directory.
- Move several functions from internal_test.go to the test files
associated with what the tests are checking
This commit exports a new map named OpcodeByName which can be used to
lookup an opcode value given a human-readable opcode name.
It also modifies the test function which does short form parsing to use
the new map instead of the internal array.
Closes#267.
This commit converts the opcode map to an array to improve performance.
Benchmark of executing a standard p2pk transaction:
New: BenchmarkExecute 2000 784349 ns/op
Old: BenchmarkExecute 2000 792600 ns/op
The time is dominated by the signature checking as expected, however there
is still an increase in speed.
This commit renames the Script type to Engine to better reflect its
purpose. It also renames the NewScript function to NewEngine to match.
This is being done because name Script for the engine is confusing since
it implies it is an actual script rather than the execution environment
for the script. It also paves the way for eventually supplying a
ParsedScript type which will be less likely to be confused with the
execution environment.
While moving the code, some additional variable names and comments have
been updated to better match the style used throughout the rest of the
code base. In addition, an attempt has been made to use consistent naming
of the engine as 'vm' instead of using different variables names as it was
previously.
Finally, the relevant engine code has been moved into a new file named
engine.go and related tests moved to engine_test.go.
This commit separates the test functions and associated helper functions
which are used to execute the reference transaction and script tests from
Bitcoin Core into a separate file named reference_test.go.
Also, add a few comments and fix a couple of typos along the way.
