#!/usr/bin/env python3 # Test harness for the Poseidon2-over-BabyBear width-16 permutation sub-component (port spec section # 3, component (b)). Runs: # 1. S-box structure: 7 is the smallest d>1 with gcd(d, p-1)=1 (so x^7 is a bijection on F_p); the # monomial inverse round-trips over many random cases, # 2. determinism: permute(s) == permute(s), # 3. bijection: permute_inverse(permute(s)) == s over the fixed set + many random states (a genuine # permutation on F_p^16), and no output collisions on a large sampled input set, # 4. linear-layer / MDS structure: the external layer equals its explicit 16x16 matrix and that # matrix is invertible; M4 is MDS (every square submatrix nonsingular); the internal layer equals # R^{-1}*(J + diag(D)) and is invertible, # 5. cross-language agreement: Python vs Node vs Java produce byte-identical permutation outputs on a # shared input set (three independent implementations of the SAME permutation), # 6. CONFORMANCE: the permutation reproduces real known-answer vectors (zeros / iota / testvec) # emitted by executing the pinned p3-baby-bear / p3-poseidon2 0.4.3-succinct crates. # Writes ../results/kat-results-poseidon2-babybear.json and exits non-zero on any failure. # # ============================ HONEST SCOPE (CONFIRMED 2026-07-19) ============================ # This validates the permutation LOGIC/arithmetic AND conformance to Plonky3. The port spec warned of # the "two wrong copies agree" trap (a structurally-correct permutation with wrong constants is # self-consistent yet disagrees with the prover). That trap is now closed: the constants + structure # reproduce real known-answer vectors extracted from the exact pinned crates (checksums matched). # - The 141 round constants are CONFIRMED (Xoroshiro128Plus::seed_from_u64(1) via new_from_rng_128). # - The internal layer is CONFIRMED as R^{-1}*(J + diag(D)), R^{-1} = 943718400 (the Montgomery-form # artifact recovered from the pinned library's exact 16x16 canonical matrix; the prior textbook # state[i]*D[i] + sum was self-consistent but WRONG, exactly the two-wrong-copies trap). # - ROUNDS_F=8, ROUNDS_P=13, M4, and the S-box degree are CONFIRMED. # What is still NOT validated: the FULL STARK verifier. The duplex-sponge challenger, FRI folding, # MMCS/Merkle openings, and the SP1 recursion-AIR are un-ported, so the top-level 0x0AE8 precompile # stays fail-closed (returns EMPTY for every input) regardless of this component being confirmed. import json import os import random import subprocess import sys from shutil import which HERE = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) sys.path.insert(0, HERE) import poseidon2_babybear_reference as R # noqa: E402 RESULTS = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(HERE, "..", "results", "kat-results-poseidon2-babybear.json")) _pass = 0 _fail = 0 _notes = [] def check(name, cond): global _pass, _fail if cond: _pass += 1 else: _fail += 1 print(f"FAIL {name}") # ---- 1.
