Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change applies input validation, sensitive-buffer cleanup, platform-specific handling, and syntax normalization across Thistle’s cryptographic modules, package exports, benchmarks, and tests.

Changes

Cryptographic hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cipher validation and cleanup
src/thistle/aes.mojo, src/thistle/aes_gpu.mojo, src/thistle/aes_ni.mojo, src/thistle/camellia.mojo, src/thistle/chacha20.mojo, src/thistle/chacha20poly1305.mojo
AES, Camellia, and ChaCha20 now reject invalid lengths or block counts. AES uses generic block dispatch. AES-GCM and ChaCha20-Poly1305 wipe sensitive state in finally blocks.
Hash and password primitives
src/thistle/argon2.mojo, src/thistle/blake2b.mojo, src/thistle/blake3.mojo, src/thistle/sha2.mojo, src/thistle/sha_ni.mojo
Hash APIs add length validation. Argon2 uses reusable StackBuffer storage and cleanup scopes. BLAKE2b wipes temporary digest state. ARM SHA-512 restores DIT state.
Post-quantum implementations
src/thistle/ml_dsa.mojo, src/thistle/ml_kem.mojo
ML-DSA and ML-KEM validate parameter sets, key structures, buffer capacities, and encoded lengths. Sensitive intermediate state is cleaned on all exit paths.
Public-key and utility validation
src/thistle/curve25519.mojo, src/thistle/ecdsa_der.mojo, src/thistle/poly1305.mojo, src/thistle/random.mojo, src/thistle/rsa.mojo, src/thistle/utils.mojo, src/thistle/weierstrass.mojo, src/thistle/x25519.mojo
Public-key, DER, Poly1305, randomness, RSA, utility, and X25519 paths add exact-size or range validation. RSA signing and temporary digest paths add cleanup handling.

Syntax and test normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Module exports and declarations
src/thistle/__init__.mojo, src/thistle/ed25519.mojo, src/thistle/fips.mojo, src/thistle/kcipher2.mojo, src/thistle/p256.mojo, src/thistle/p384.mojo, src/thistle/pbkdf2.mojo, src/thistle/poly1305.mojo, src/thistle/sha3.mojo
Imports, declarations, constants, expressions, module documentation, and spacing were normalized without changing exported symbols or unchanged algorithms.
Benchmarks and test suites
tests/*.mojo
Imports, calls, signatures, result strings, and multiline expressions were reformatted. Test behavior and validation coverage remain unchanged.
Repository configuration
.gitignore
/stdlib was added to the ignored paths.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c0d9a

The change leaves two bounded risks: invalid inputs to exported GPU AES kernels may fail without an observable error, and ML-KEM may retain a temporary shared-secret copy longer than necessary. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for these issues.

Poem

A rabbit reviews each guarded byte,

Stack buffers rest through day and night.
Keys are wiped when paths grow long,
Bounds now stop the wrong-way throng.
Imports march in tidy rows,
And every test syntax flows.

Make invalid GPU AES parameters observable.

aes_gpu_kernel_ecb, aes_gpu_kernel_ctr, and aes_gpu_kernel_gcm_ctr return None without writing output when n <= 0 or rounds is unsupported. Current in-repository launches pass valid values, but exported kernels provide no failure signal to other callers. Add caller-side validation or a host-visible error flag.

Avoid duplicating the shared secret.

mlkem_encaps_seed() already returns the required tuple. Lines 1599-1602 copy its shared-secret list before result is destroyed. The temporary shared-secret allocation has no explicit wipe.

Return mlkem_encaps_seed() directly inside this try block. The finally block will still wipe m.

Proposed fix
     try:
-        var result = mlkem_encaps_seed(ek_bytes, Span[UInt8, ...](m), parameter_set)
-        if not result[2]:
-            return (List[UInt8](), List[UInt8](), False)
-        return (result[0].copy(), result[1].copy(), True)
