confium_tc_cmp20/refresh.rs
1//! Proactive share refresh for P-256 threshold shares (Herzberg et al. 1995).
2//!
3//! Each party generates a random polynomial g_i(x) of degree T-1
4//! with g_i(0) = 0, distributes evaluations g_i(j) to party j, and
5//! each party adds the received refresh contributions to their
6//! existing share.
7//!
8//! The key invariant: sum_i g_i(0) = 0, so the aggregate secret
9//! is unchanged and the public key doesn't change. Previously
10//! compromised shares become useless after refresh because the
11//! attacker doesn't know the refresh contributions.
12//!
13//! ## Usage
14//!
15//! ```no_run
16//! use confium_tc_cmp20::inprocess;
17//! use confium_tc_cmp20::refresh;
18//!
19//! // 1. Initial keygen.
20//! let kg = inprocess::keygen(2, 3).unwrap();
21//!
22//! // 2. Each party generates refresh contributions.
23//! let contributions = refresh::generate_refresh_contributions(2, 3);
24//!
25//! // 3. Each party applies the refresh to their share.
26//! let refreshed_shares: Vec<Vec<u8>> = kg.shares.iter().enumerate()
27//! .map(|(i, share)| refresh::apply_to_share(share, i as u32 + 1, &contributions))
28//! .collect();
29//!
30//! // 4. Sign with refreshed shares — same joint public key.
31//! let sig = inprocess::sign(&refreshed_shares[..2], 2, b"refreshed").unwrap();
32//! ```
