(** * Cryptographic Security Properties for UBT
This module proves security guarantees of the UBT Merkle tree construction
based on the cryptographic axioms defined in crypto.v. These theorems
demonstrate that the security of Merkle proofs reduces to the security
of the underlying hash function.
Key security properties proven:
1. DATA INTEGRITY: Valid proofs imply data integrity
2. PROOF UNFORGEABILITY: Collision resistance prevents proof forgery
3. BINDING: Each key uniquely binds to at most one value
4. SOUNDNESS: Verified proofs reflect actual tree contents
5. CONSISTENCY: Multiple proofs for the same key must agree

(** ** Section 1: Witness Path Security (using crypto.v definitions) *)
(** *** Collision Resistance Lifts to Merkle Paths *)
(**
Core security theorem: If two different leaf hashes produce the same
root through the same witness path, we have found a collision.
By contrapositive of collision resistance, this means:
same root + same path => same leaf hash
This is already proven in crypto.v as witness_collision_resistant_same_path.
*)
Theorem merkle_path_binding :
forall (witness : crypto.MerkleWitness) (h1 h2 : crypto.Bytes32),
crypto.compute_root_from_witness h1 witness =
crypto.compute_root_from_witness h2 witness ->
h1 = h2.
Proof.
exact witness_collision_resistant_same_path.
Qed.
(** *** Different Leaves Produce Different Roots (Same Path) *)
(**
If two leaves are different, they cannot produce the same root
through the same witness path. This is the contrapositive of
merkle_path_binding.
*)
Theorem merkle_path_distinct :
forall (witness : crypto.MerkleWitness) (h1 h2 : crypto.Bytes32),
h1 <> h2 ->
crypto.compute_root_from_witness h1 witness <>
crypto.compute_root_from_witness h2 witness.
Proof.
intros witness h1 h2 Hneq Heq.
apply Hneq.
apply (merkle_path_binding witness).
exact Heq.
Qed.
(** ** Section 2: Data Integrity Theorems *)
(** *** Value Integrity Under Hashing *)
(**
If a value's hash equals another value's hash, the values must be equal.
This is a direct restatement of collision resistance for value hashing.
*)
Theorem value_integrity_from_hash :
forall v1 v2 : crypto.Bytes32,
crypto.hash_value v1 = crypto.hash_value v2 -> v1 = v2.
Proof.
exact hash_value_collision_resistant.
Qed.
(** *** Merkle Proof Implies Value Integrity *)
(**
If a Merkle proof verifies that a value is at a certain position
in a tree with a known root, then the value must match what was
actually committed to that position.
More precisely: if two proofs for the same key verify against
the same root, they must contain the same value.
*)
Theorem merkle_proof_value_integrity :
forall (witness : crypto.MerkleWitness) (v1 v2 : crypto.Bytes32) (root : crypto.Bytes32),
crypto.compute_root_from_witness (crypto.hash_value v1) witness = root ->
crypto.compute_root_from_witness (crypto.hash_value v2) witness = root ->
v1 = v2.
Proof.
intros witness v1 v2 root H1 H2.
assert (Hhash_eq: crypto.hash_value v1 = crypto.hash_value v2).

(** ** Section 3: Proof Unforgeability *)
(** *** Hash Pair Unforgeability *)
(**
Internal nodes cannot be forged: if two pairs of children produce
the same parent hash, the children must be pairwise equal.
*)
Theorem internal_node_unforgeability :
forall left1 right1 left2 right2 : crypto.Bytes32,
crypto.hash_pair left1 right1 = crypto.hash_pair left2 right2 ->
left1 = left2 /\ right1 = right2.
Proof.
exact hash_pair_collision_resistant.
Qed.
(** *** Stem Hash Unforgeability *)
(**
Stem nodes cannot be forged: if two stem hashes are equal,
the stems and subtree hashes must match.
*)
Theorem stem_node_unforgeability :
forall (s1 : crypto.Stem) (h1 : crypto.Bytes32)
(s2 : crypto.Stem) (h2 : crypto.Bytes32),
crypto.hash_stem s1 h1 = crypto.hash_stem s2 h2 ->
crypto.stem_eq s1 s2 = true /\ h1 = h2.
Proof.
exact hash_stem_collision_resistant.
Qed.
(** *** Witness Step Unforgeability *)
(**
Each step in a Merkle witness is unforgeable: the sibling hash
and the current hash uniquely determine the parent hash.
*)
Theorem witness_step_unforgeable :
forall (step : crypto.MerkleStep) (h1 h2 parent : crypto.Bytes32),
(match crypto.ms_direction step with
| crypto.Left => crypto.hash_pair (crypto.ms_sibling step) h1
| crypto.Right => crypto.hash_pair h1 (crypto.ms_sibling step)
end) = parent ->
(match crypto.ms_direction step with
| crypto.Left => crypto.hash_pair (crypto.ms_sibling step) h2
| crypto.Right => crypto.hash_pair h2 (crypto.ms_sibling step)
end) = parent ->
h1 = h2.
Proof.
intros step h1 h2 parent H1 H2.
destruct (crypto.ms_direction step).
- (* Left case *)
assert (Heq: crypto.hash_pair (crypto.ms_sibling step) h1 =
crypto.hash_pair (crypto.ms_sibling step) h2).
{ rewrite H1, H2. reflexivity. }
apply hash_pair_collision_resistant in Heq.
destruct Heq as [_ Heq]. exact Heq.
- (* Right case *)
assert (Heq: crypto.hash_pair h1 (crypto.ms_sibling step) =
crypto.hash_pair h2 (crypto.ms_sibling step)).
{ rewrite H1, H2. reflexivity. }
apply hash_pair_collision_resistant in Heq.
destruct Heq as [Heq _]. exact Heq.
Qed.
(** ** Section 4: Zero-Value Security *)
(** *** Non-Zero Values Cannot Collide With Zero *)
(**
A non-zero value cannot hash to the same value as zero.
This ensures that "absent" (zero) and "present" (non-zero) values
are always distinguishable after hashing.
*)
Theorem nonzero_never_hashes_to_zero :
forall v : crypto.Bytes32,
crypto.value_nonzero v ->
crypto.hash_value v <> crypto.zero32.
Proof.
exact hash_nonzero_of_value_nonzero.
Qed.
(** *** Zero and Non-Zero Are Distinguishable *)
(**
The hash of a zero value is distinguishable from the hash of
any non-zero value. This is critical for the UBT's sparse tree
optimization.
*)
Theorem zero_nonzero_hash_distinct :
forall v : crypto.Bytes32,
crypto.value_nonzero v ->
crypto.hash_value v <> crypto.hash_value crypto.zero32.
Proof.
intros v Hnonzero.
rewrite crypto.hash_zero_value.
apply nonzero_never_hashes_to_zero.
exact Hnonzero.
Qed.
(** ** Section 5: Merkle Security Reduction *)
(** *** Merkle Security Reduces to Hash Security *)
(**
This theorem states that breaking Merkle proof security requires
breaking the underlying hash function. Specifically, if an adversary
can produce two different values that verify at the same position
with the same root, they have found a hash collision.
This is the core security reduction.
*)
Theorem merkle_security_reduction :
forall (witness : crypto.MerkleWitness) (root : crypto.Bytes32) (v1 v2 : crypto.Bytes32),
v1 <> v2 ->
crypto.compute_root_from_witness (crypto.hash_value v1) witness = root ->
crypto.compute_root_from_witness (crypto.hash_value v2) witness = root ->
(* This implies a collision was found in the hash function *)
crypto.hash_value v1 = crypto.hash_value v2.
Proof.
intros witness root v1 v2 Hneq H1 H2.
apply (merkle_path_binding witness).
rewrite H1, H2. reflexivity.
Qed.
(** *** Corollary: No Forgery Without Collision *)
(**
An immediate corollary: if the hash function is collision-resistant
(which we axiomatize), then Merkle proofs cannot be forged.
*)
Corollary no_forgery_without_collision :
forall (witness : crypto.MerkleWitness) (root : crypto.Bytes32) (v1 v2 : crypto.Bytes32),
v1 <> v2 ->
crypto.compute_root_from_witness (crypto.hash_value v1) witness = root ->
crypto.compute_root_from_witness (crypto.hash_value v2) witness <> root.
Proof.
intros witness root v1 v2 Hneq H1.
intro H2.
assert (Hcollision: crypto.hash_value v1 = crypto.hash_value v2).
{ apply (merkle_security_reduction witness root v1 v2 Hneq H1 H2). }
apply hash_value_collision_resistant in Hcollision.
contradiction.
Qed.
(** ** Section 6: Tree-Level Security Properties (using tree.v definitions) *)
(** *** Insert Integrity *)
(**
After inserting a value, the only way to retrieve it is through
the correct key. This follows from collision resistance of the
stem and subindex structure.
*)
Theorem insert_retrieval_integrity :
forall t k v,
tree.value_nonzero v ->
sim_tree_get (sim_tree_insert t k v) k = Some v.
Proof.
exact get_insert_same.
Qed.
(** *** Insert Isolation *)
(**
Inserting at one key does not affect the value at any other key.
This is the non-interference property.
*)
Theorem insert_isolation :
forall t k1 k2 v,
tree.stem_eq (tk_stem k1) (tk_stem k2) = false ->
sim_tree_get (sim_tree_insert t k1 v) k2 = sim_tree_get t k2.
Proof.
exact get_insert_other_stem.
Qed.
(** *** Delete Security *)
(**
After deletion, the key maps to nothing (None), regardless
of what value was previously stored.
*)
Theorem delete_security :
forall t k,
sim_tree_get (sim_tree_delete t k) k = None.
Proof.
exact get_delete.
Qed.
(** ** Section 7: Tree Proof Soundness *)
(** *** End-to-End Proof Verification Security *)
(**
This theorem combines multiple security properties to state the
end-to-end security guarantee: a verified inclusion proof for a
tree guarantees that the claimed value was actually committed
to the claimed key when the root was computed.
Assumptions:
- The root was honestly computed from tree operations
- The proof was verified against this root
Guarantee:
- The value in the proof is the actual value at that key
*)
Theorem end_to_end_proof_security :
forall t proof,
verify_inclusion_proof proof (sim_root_hash t) ->
sim_tree_get t (ip_key proof) = Some (ip_value proof).
Proof.
exact inclusion_proof_soundness.
Qed.
(** *** Batch Proof Consistency *)
(**
Multiple proofs in a batch that verify against the same root
must be mutually consistent: if they prove values for the same key,
those values must be equal.
*)
Theorem batch_proof_consistency :
forall (batch : BatchInclusionProof) (root : tree.Bytes32) (p1 p2 : InclusionProof),
verify_batch_inclusion batch root ->
In p1 batch ->
In p2 batch ->
ip_key p1 = ip_key p2 ->
ip_value p1 = ip_value p2.
Proof.
exact batch_implies_consistent.
Qed.
(** ** Section 8: Security Assumptions Summary *)
(**
The security of the UBT Merkle tree construction relies on the
following cryptographic assumptions (axiomatized in crypto.v):
1. HASH_VALUE_COLLISION_RESISTANT:
hash_value v1 = hash_value v2 -> v1 = v2
2. HASH_PAIR_COLLISION_RESISTANT:
hash_pair a1 b1 = hash_pair a2 b2 -> a1 = a2 /\ b1 = b2
3. HASH_STEM_COLLISION_RESISTANT:
hash_stem s1 h1 = hash_stem s2 h2 -> stem_eq s1 s2 = true /\ h1 = h2
4. HASH_VALUE_NONZERO:
value_nonzero v -> hash_value v <> zero32
These are standard assumptions for any cryptographic hash function
used in Merkle tree constructions (e.g., SHA-256, Keccak-256, Poseidon).
Given these assumptions, we have proven:
- Data integrity (merkle_proof_value_integrity)
- Proof unforgeability (internal_node_unforgeability, stem_node_unforgeability)
- Value binding (merkle_path_binding)
- Zero/non-zero distinction (zero_nonzero_hash_distinct)
- Security reduction to hash function (merkle_security_reduction)
- No forgery without collision (no_forgery_without_collision)

(** ** Section 9: Non-Malleability *)
(**
Non-malleability: proofs cannot be modified without detection.
Any change to a proof element will cause verification to fail
unless the attacker can find a hash collision.
*)
(** *** Witness Modification Detection *)
(**
If any step in a Merkle witness is modified, the computed root
will change. This ensures proof tampering is detectable.
*)
(** [AXIOM:CRYPTO] Witness non-malleability: changing any sibling in a Merkle
witness changes the computed root. This follows from collision resistance
of hash_pair, but requires structural induction on the witness. *)
Axiom witness_modification_changes_root :

Theorem witness_non_malleable :

(** *** Value Modification Detection *)
(**
If the claimed value in a proof is modified, verification will fail.
This is the core non-malleability guarantee for Merkle proofs.

(** ** Section 10: Binding Property *)
(**
Binding: a commitment (root hash) uniquely binds to the committed values.
Once a tree root is published, the committer cannot "open" any key
to a different value than what was originally committed.
*)
(** *** Single-Value Binding *)
(**
A root hash binds each key to exactly one value. If a value
verifies at position (key, witness) for a given root, no other
value can verify at the same position.
*)
Theorem commitment_binding :
forall (witness : crypto.MerkleWitness) (root v1 v2 : crypto.Bytes32),

(** *** Stem Binding *)
(**
Stem commitments are binding: the stem hash uniquely determines
both the stem and the subtree hash.
*)
Theorem stem_commitment_binding :

crypto.hash_stem s1 h1 = commitment ->

rewrite H1, H2. reflexivity.
Qed.
(** *** Tree-Level Binding *)
(**
At the tree level: if two different trees have the same root hash,
they must return the same value for every key (assuming honest proof generation).
This follows from the cryptographic binding property of the Merkle tree:
- The root hash is computed deterministically from all tree contents
- Hash collision resistance ensures different contents produce different hashes
- Therefore, equal hashes imply equal contents at every key
We axiomatize this as it requires detailed structural induction on tree
representation combined with collision resistance at every internal node.

(** ** Section 11: Soundness *)
(**
Soundness: invalid proofs are always rejected.
A proof for a value that is not actually in the tree at the claimed
position will fail verification (assuming collision resistance).
*)
(** *** Proof Soundness via Contrapositive *)
(**
If a value is NOT in the tree, no valid proof can be constructed.
This is soundness stated as: verification success implies correctness.

(** ** Section 12: Completeness *)
(**
Completeness: valid proofs are always accepted.
For any key-value pair actually in the tree, a valid inclusion
proof can be constructed that will pass verification.
*)
(** *** Inclusion Completeness *)
(**
For every key-value pair in the tree, there exists a valid
inclusion proof that verifies against the tree's root.
[AXIOM:IMPL-GAP] Proof construction requires:
1. Building a stem witness from the subindex map to the value
2. Building a tree witness from the stem map to the stem
3. Composing these into a full inclusion proof
This is the constructive direction of soundness/completeness duality.

(** *** Exclusion Completeness *)
(**
For every absent key, there exists a valid exclusion proof
that verifies against the tree's root.
[AXIOM:IMPL-GAP] Similar to inclusion, requires constructing a witness
that proves the key is absent. Two cases:
- Stem not in tree: prove via tree-level exclusion
- Stem exists but subindex absent: prove via stem-level exclusion

(** ** Section 13: History Independence *)
(**
History independence: the tree structure and root hash depend only
on the final key-value mapping, not on the order of operations
that produced it.
This is critical for privacy: an observer cannot determine the
order in which keys were inserted by examining the tree structure.

Two trees constructed with the same final key-value pairs but
in different insertion orders will have the same observable behavior.

For any permutation of insertions, the final tree state is equivalent.
This generalizes the pairwise order independence to arbitrary sequences.

(** [AXIOM:DESIGN] Multi-key history independence: applying insertions in any
order produces the same tree (extensionally) when keys are distinct.
This is a fundamental property of functional maps: the final state depends
only on the set of (key, value) pairs, not on insertion order. For UBT,
this follows from the fact that distinct keys are stored in independent
locations (either different stems or different subindices within a stem).
