From b70cdc48c67d0552d59a3ca963bf68ee8dddcf08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2026 19:52:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(security): Address critical security and performance issues in ZK proofs Security Fixes: - CRITICAL: Add zeroize on drop for FinancialProver to prevent memory extraction - HIGH: Fix WASM type import (ProdVerificationResult -> VerificationResult) - MEDIUM: Add input validation for zero rent/multiplier/budget values - Use checked_mul instead of saturating_mul for overflow detection Performance Optimizations: - Reduce generator memory from 16 MB to 8 MB (1-party vs 16-party) - Add zeroize dependency (1.8) for secure memory clearing Documentation: - Add comprehensive ZK performance analysis docs - Add benchmark suite for criterion testing - Add optimization quick reference and examples All 7 production ZK tests pass. --- examples/edge/Cargo.lock | 1 + examples/edge/Cargo.toml | 1 + examples/edge/benches/zkproof_bench.rs | 210 +++ examples/edge/docs/README_ZK_PERFORMANCE.md | 494 +++++++ examples/edge/docs/zk_optimization_example.md | 568 +++++++ .../edge/docs/zk_optimization_quickref.md | 318 ++++ examples/edge/docs/zk_performance_analysis.md | 1308 +++++++++++++++++ examples/edge/docs/zk_performance_summary.md | 440 ++++++ examples/edge/src/plaid/zk_wasm_prod.rs | 2 +- examples/edge/src/plaid/zkproofs_prod.rs | 41 +- 10 files changed, 3379 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 examples/edge/benches/zkproof_bench.rs create mode 100644 examples/edge/docs/README_ZK_PERFORMANCE.md create mode 100644 examples/edge/docs/zk_optimization_example.md create mode 100644 examples/edge/docs/zk_optimization_quickref.md create mode 100644 examples/edge/docs/zk_performance_analysis.md create mode 100644 examples/edge/docs/zk_performance_summary.md diff --git a/examples/edge/Cargo.lock b/examples/edge/Cargo.lock index f7e818ccf..6836b1c67 100644 --- a/examples/edge/Cargo.lock +++ b/examples/edge/Cargo.lock @@ -2239,6 +2239,7 @@ dependencies = [ "wasm-bindgen", "web-sys", "x25519-dalek", + "zeroize", ] [[package]] diff --git a/examples/edge/Cargo.toml b/examples/edge/Cargo.toml index a4bf0dcad..946df7f6e 100644 --- a/examples/edge/Cargo.toml +++ b/examples/edge/Cargo.toml @@ -67,6 +67,7 @@ bulletproofs = "5.0" merlin = "3.0" subtle = "2.5" lazy_static = "1.4" +zeroize = { version = "1.8", features = ["derive"] } # CLI clap = { version = "4.5", features = ["derive"] } diff --git a/examples/edge/benches/zkproof_bench.rs b/examples/edge/benches/zkproof_bench.rs new file mode 100644 index 000000000..1feb20b17 --- /dev/null +++ b/examples/edge/benches/zkproof_bench.rs @@ -0,0 +1,210 @@ +use criterion::{black_box, criterion_group, criterion_main, Criterion, BenchmarkId, Throughput};
