Summary

  • Document that signing APIs require a valid secret key.
  • Point callers to pk_from_sk when they need to validate a serialized secret key before signing.
  • Add a Wycheproof client comment explaining why InvalidPrivateKey signing vectors are skipped while pkFromSk still tests those keys.

Validation

  • clang-format -i mldsa/src/sign.h mldsa/mldsa_native.h: passed
  • ruff format test/wycheproof/wycheproof_client.py: passed
  • ruff check test/wycheproof/wycheproof_client.py: passed
  • python3 -m py_compile test/wycheproof/wycheproof_client.py: passed
  • git diff --check -- mldsa/src/sign.h mldsa/mldsa_native.h test/wycheproof/wycheproof_client.py: passed
  • make run_func -j4: passed
  • make wycheproof -j4: passed
  • python3 test/wycheproof/wycheproof_client.py --data-dir <fresh-temp-dir>: passed
  • Not run: ./scripts/format because nixpkgs-fmt is not installed in this local environment
  • Not run: ./scripts/lint because shfmt is not installed in this local environment

Fixes #1216


This work was completed by Trail of Bits as part of the Patch The Planet project in collaboration with OpenAI. The issue was identified primarily by the Codex coding agent, and manually reviewed before submission.

Signing APIs assume a valid, bit-packed secret key and do not
perform full serialized-key validation (t0, tr, s1, s2). Callers
importing serialized keys can validate them via pk_from_sk before
signing.

* Add @warning notices to all sign* / signature* / pre_hash sign
  entry points in mldsa_native.h and mldsa/src/sign.h, and reword
  the sk parameter descriptions to "assumed to be valid".
* Expand the Wycheproof client comment for the InvalidPrivateKey
  skip: FIPS 204 does not require signing to validate serialized
  private keys, full validation covers t0 and tr and is exposed
  through pk_from_sk, and those vectors are still tested via
  pkFromSk.
