Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR centralizes secret-memory handling and changes serialization failure behavior across language bindings, but the current code can still produce invalidly aligned storage, leak chain-code allocations, leave secret material unwiped, and pass failed serialization results into Go or Rust callers, potentially causing crashes or undefined behavior; the PR is not ready to merge until these issues are fixed.

- Around line 5-18: Update the minialloc target declaration to require the same
C++ standard level used by the parent project for dashbls, using target-specific
CMake configuration so lockedpool.cpp and minialloc.cpp do not inherit an older
consumer or compiler default.
In `@depends/minialloc/COPYING`:
- Around line 1-3: Add the copyright holder lines for Satoshi Nakamoto, the
Bitcoin Core developers, and the Dash Core developers to COPYING immediately
before the MIT license permission grant, preserving the existing license text.
In `@depends/minialloc/src/minialloc.cpp`:
- Around line 20-23: Update the HEADER constant used by the minialloc block
layout to round sizeof(size_t) up to the maximum fundamental alignment, ensuring
the returned pointer remains properly aligned for over-aligned objects while
preserving size storage in the first sizeof(size_t) bytes.
In `@Makefile.test.include`:
- Line 23: Add $(MINIALLOC_INCLUDES) to the runtest_CPPFLAGS definition so
test/test_secure.cpp can resolve minialloc.h while preserving the existing
include paths.
In `@NOTICE`:
- Around line 20-38: Update the minialloc notice in NOTICE to reference
depends/minialloc/COPYING instead of the nonexistent COPYING.MIT, and change the
Dash Core copyright year range to 2022–2026 to match the bundled sources.
In `@src/checks.cpp`:
- Around line 33-39: Update the Autotools configuration in configure.ac to
require C++17 or later, matching the standard already required by CMake so
src/checks.cpp constructs such as Concat’s fold expression are supported.
In `@src/hkdf.cpp`:
- Around line 19-20: Update HKDF256::Expand to enforce L <= 255 * HASH_LEN with
the existing ThrowCheckLen guard pattern instead of an assert, so the validation
remains active for external callers; remove the always-true infoLen >= 0
assertion.
In `@src/secure.cpp`:
- Around line 35-40: Update Bn::operator=(Bn&& other) to securely wipe the
destination m_val before calling bn_copy, then retain the existing move-source
wipe and zero operations.
In `@src/secure.h`:
- Around line 97-113: Update SecureAllocator::allocate and the underlying
SecAlloc allocation path to preserve alignof(T) for returned storage, accounting
for SecMalloc’s header offset; alternatively, explicitly reject alignments the
allocator cannot satisfy. Ensure allocations for over-aligned types such as
alignas(16) and alignas(32) never return incorrectly aligned pointers.
In `@src/threshold.cpp`:
- Around line 178-181: Update the threshold ID validation before bn_read_bin in
the surrounding threshold-processing flow to require id.size() to equal
Threshold::ID_SIZE, rejecting both shorter and longer IDs; keep the existing
bn_read_bin and ops.ModOrder processing unchanged for valid IDs.
In `@src/util.cpp`:
- Around line 69-75: Update Util::FourBytesToInt so each bytes[i] value is
converted to uint32_t before applying the left shift, preserving the existing
big-endian accumulation and avoiding signed overflow for high-bit bytes.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Enforce the L bound with a check, and remove the always-true assert.
HKDF256::Expand is declared in the installed header include/dashbls/hkdf.hpp, so external callers can reach it. Two problems here:
assert(L <= 255 * HASH_LEN)disappears underNDEBUG. With a largerL, the counter byte written at Line 33 and Line 38 wraps, and the function returns output that does not match RFC 5869.assert(infoLen >= 0)can never fail, becauseinfoLenissize_t. Some compilers warn on this comparison.
Replace the first assert with a thrown exception, consistent with the ThrowCheckLen guards added elsewhere in this PR, and delete the second.

Preliminary review — Codex only
At exact head f074cba, two blocking integration defects remain: the Apple Rust archive omits five newly required translation units, and the existing extern-C free symbols were changed in place to incompatible sized signatures. The secure-memory changes otherwise build and test successfully according to the supplied reviewer evidence; the CodeRabbit alignment comment is not actionable because the built-in allocators provide fundamental alignment and custom allocator callbacks already had the same alignment obligation before this PR. Source: reviewer backends Codex (general and security-auditor) and Claude; final verifier backend Claude. Orchestration-only, not reviewer evidence: openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol.
Validated blockers were found in the Codex precheck. Opus is deferred until a fresh Codex revalidation clears the blocker gate.

- [BLOCKING] apple.rust.deps.sh:290: Apple Rust archive omits the new implementation files
The Apple Rust path still compiles only the nine original BLS translation units. This PR moves HDKeys, HKDF256, and Util definitions out of headers into hdkeys.cpp, hkdf.cpp, and util.cpp, and existing sources now call implementations in secure.cpp and wipe.cpp. The normal CMake and Autotools source lists include all five files, but this manually maintained list does not. apple.rust.deps.sh consequently archives objects containing references to the omitted definitions, and build.rs links only that incomplete libbls.a for Apple targets, producing unresolved symbols at the final Rust link.

This breaks existing source consumers, and C linkage does not encode parameter types in symbol names, so an object compiled against the old declarations can still resolve to the new functions while supplying no valid length argument. The new implementation then treats arbitrary calling-convention state as the wipe length; SecFree can wipe beyond the allocation, while FreePtrArray first multiplies the invalid value by sizeof(void*).

Preliminary review — Codex only
At exact head 5c92730, the Apple Rust archive now includes the five required translation units and uses C++17, resolving the prior build blocker. One blocking compatibility and memory-safety issue remains: SecFree and FreePtrArray retain their existing extern-C symbol names while changing to incompatible sized signatures, allowing older objects to link while passing an indeterminate wipe length.

- [BLOCKING] rust-bindings/bls-dash-sys/bindings.rs:95-105: Preserve the ABI of the exported C free functions
(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/bls-signatures/pull/128#discussion_r3864275711)
The base declarations and implementations define `SecFree(void*)` and `FreePtrArray(void**)`, while this head changes those same extern-C symbols to require a size without symbol versioning or a package version bump. Existing source consumers no longer compile, and previously compiled objects can still resolve the unchanged C symbol names while supplying no second argument. The new implementations treat the indeterminate calling-convention state as a wipe length: `SecFree` passes it to `SecureWipe`, and `FreePtrArray` first multiplies it by `sizeof(void*)`, potentially clearing beyond the allocation before freeing it. Preserve the one-argument symbols and add distinctly named sized variants for updated callers, or perform a versioned ABI transition that prevents older objects from resolving to the new implementations.

Additional Information
Alternative to fix: cleanse BIP32 secret derivation state #127
SecureWipe()is defined separate to secret-handling routines to avoid a conflict with relic includes on Windows, which result in build failures when preparing wheels for Python binds.C++17 has been a requirement in CMake builds from inception (source) but Autotools incorrectly assumed the floor was C++14. This went undetected since no C++17-exclusive syntax was used until now.
This has since been resolved.
