Validate BLS keys and signatures at the wrapper boundary, enforce canonical secret scalars, and fail startup when the linked BLS library lacks the required subgroup checks. Backport the two prerequisite RELIC fixes without updating the full dependency revision, and bound DKG payloads before expensive element deserialization.

WalkthroughThe change adds strict BLS subgroup and identity validation with height-based activation. It updates RELIC integration, BLS parsing, verification, startup checks, provider and quorum validation, and masternode migration. DKG processing now rejects oversized messages.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change strengthens BLS validation, but one verification path may reject historically valid data before activation, and a key-generation path does not cleanse copied secret material. Merge should wait for the compatibility issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted, with the memory-handling concern tracked by the owner. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

User descriptionSummary
RationaleLegacy BLS deserialization skips subgroup validation, while the wrapper previously treated successful parsing as validity. This admitted canonical infinity and non-prime-order elements, enabling vacuous identity verification and predictable/enumerable BLS-IES shared secrets for malformed operator keys. The RELIC revision is intentionally not bumped: moving from the pinned revision to Validation
DeploymentStrict validation activates immediately when a node upgrades; no activation height or state transition is required. The canonical-chain and current-state scans found no malformed historical or active BLS values requiring migration. Existing all-zero null-commitment sentinels remain supported.

Summary
0 < sk < r), backport the two required RELIC fixes, fail startup if an external BLS library lacks the required behavior, and reject oversized DKG messages before expensive decoding.Activation
nBLSStrictValidationStartBlockgates provider operator keys/signatures and non-null final commitments. The public-network values are intentionallyINT_MAXuntil the coordinated hard-fork heights are selected; setting them later is a chain-parameter-only change. Regtest activates at height 2700 and exposes a setter for boundary tests.Before activation, malformed canonical encodings are retained and legacy validation semantics are used. At and after activation, ProReg/ProUpReg keys, ProUpServ/ProUpRev signatures, quorum keys/signatures, and participating member keys must be non-identity prime-subgroup elements. Runtime-only BLS paths (MNAUTH, DKG, recovered signatures, ChainLocks, and InstantSend) remain strict immediately.
Cryptographic fix
Legacy BLS deserialization skips subgroup validation. The wrapper now separates parse validity from strict cryptographic validity, allowing height-aware historical replay while making strict validation the default everywhere else.
The RELIC revision is deliberately not bumped: moving from the pinned revision to
3429421eimports 235 commits across 241 files. Instead, this backports upstreamc7177c87(the required x=0 doubling correction) followed by3429421e(the corrected BLS12 G1 subgroup predicate). Applying the latter alone falsely accepts the canonical order-3 point on the pinned revision.Validation
