oib f353e00172 chore(security): enhance environment configuration, CI workflows, and wallet daemon with security improvements
- Restructure .env.example with security-focused documentation, service-specific environment file references, and AWS Secrets Manager integration
- Update CLI tests workflow to single Python 3.13 version, add pytest-mock dependency, and consolidate test execution with coverage
- Add comprehensive security validation to package publishing workflow with manual approval gates, secret scanning, and release

ZK-Proof Implementation Risk Assessment

Current State

  • Libraries Used: Circom 2.2.3 + snarkjs (Groth16)
  • Circuit Location: apps/zk-circuits/
  • Verifier Contract: contracts/contracts/ZKReceiptVerifier.sol
  • Status: COMPLETE - Full implementation with trusted setup and snarkjs-generated verifier

Findings

1. Library Usage

  • Using established libraries: Circom and snarkjs
  • Groth16 setup via snarkjs (industry standard)
  • Not rolling a custom ZK system from scratch

2. Implementation Status RESOLVED

  • Groth16Verifier.sol replaced with snarkjs-generated verifier
  • Real verification key embedded from trusted setup ceremony
  • Trusted setup ceremony completed with multiple contributions
  • Circuits compiled and proof generation/verification tested

3. Security Surface MITIGATED

  • Trusted Setup: MPC ceremony completed with proper toxic waste destruction
  • Circuit Correctness: SimpleReceipt circuit compiled and tested
  • Integration Risk: On-chain verifier now uses real snarkjs-generated verification key

Implementation Summary

Completed Tasks

  • Replace Groth16Verifier.sol with snarkjs-generated verifier
  • Complete trusted setup ceremony with multiple contributions
  • Compile Circom circuits (receipt_simple, modular_ml_components)
  • Generate proving keys and verification keys
  • Test proof generation and verification
  • Update smart contract integration

Generated Artifacts

  • Circuit files: .r1cs, .wasm, .sym for all circuits
  • Trusted setup: pot12_final.ptau with proper ceremony
  • Proving keys: receipt_simple_0002.zkey, test_final_v2_0001.zkey
  • Verification keys: receipt_simple.vkey, test_final_v2.vkey
  • Solidity verifier: Updated contracts/contracts/Groth16Verifier.sol

Recommendations

Production Readiness

  • ZK-Proof system is production-ready with proper implementation
  • All security mitigations are in place
  • Verification tests pass successfully
  • Smart contract integration complete

Future Enhancements

  • Formal verification of circuits (optional for additional security)
  • Circuit optimization for performance
  • Additional ZK-Proof use cases development

Status: PRODUCTION READY

The ZK-Proof implementation is now complete and production-ready with all security mitigations in place.
