perf: stop wiping anything but keys, keyed state, and private-key heap scratch - #394
rind now wipes keys, keyed state, and heap scratch derived from a private key, and nothing else, as the maintainer decided. Other per-call state, stack temporaries, scratch, and copies no longer pay for a wipe.
Every drop-wipe in rind and its adapters, classified:
Wipe
Kind
Now
digest::Context
unkeyed per-call state
removed
HKDF's per-block and PBKDF2's per-block hmac::Context
copy of keyed state inside a call
removed: both now use an internal non-wiping Streaming, and the wipe moved from Streaming to the public hmac::Context
tests/zeroing.rs drops the digest and OAEP plaintext checks and keeps the rest; no test covered the kept heap scratch wipes, before or after. AGENTS.md's rule (now: keys, keyed state, and heap scratch derived from a private key wipe; nothing else does), REVIEW.md's matching checklist item, MIGRATING.md (which now says Plaintext is not wiped), proofs/README.md, and the digest dispatch model's quote say the same. benchmarks/gaps.toml closes SHA-256 64 B's gap, which moq-dev/rind#352 traced to the digest wipe, and BENCHMARKS.md is re-rendered.
Impact
Public API: none. No signature changes.
Behavior: digest::Context and rsa::Plaintext no longer zero their memory on drop. That changes behavior but breaks no API, so the title carries no !.
rind-ring drops its zeroize dependency.
Benchmarks
The comparison ran as a one-off dispatch (run). Each runner built main (8747f624) and this change (e2d9bd6f) and ran them alternately, main, head, main, head, so every row compares jobs with the same CPU: line. aws-lc-rs ran in the same runs. The table shows the minimum of the two rounds.

At 64 B, SHA-256 is now 0.86× RustCrypto's time on the EPYC runner, where main measured 1.02×.
The x86 runner is noisy: HMAC's unchanged code moves by up to 4% between rounds. The arm runner repeats to 0.1%, so its +3-5% rows are real: HKDF-SHA1/384/512 expand and AES-KW unwrap. Neither path does more work now. In aarch64 release asm, Prk::expand_into goes from 217 to 175 instructions with the wipe gone, starting HMAC lost a memcpy that Context::with_key had, and AesKek::unwrap goes from 424 to 364 instructions, with no new calls anywhere. That points at code layout in the hash and AES kernels these call, not at this change's logic. Every one of those rows still beats aws-lc-rs, at 0.49× to 0.78× its time.
Decisions
Answered by the maintainer on 2026-11-06.
RSA's heap power tables: the PR proposed removing moq-dev/rind#267's wipe, since row 1 is x·R mod p, which yields p by a gcd.
Remove it, treating heap scratch like stack scratch.
✅ Keep it, and generalize: heap scratch derived from a private key keeps its wipe. Restored for PosInt::{is_coprime, mont_exp, mod_inverse} and x86_64's mont_exp and RSAZ power tables, exactly as on main. The rule is now "keys, keyed state, and private-key-derived heap scratch". Stack temporaries stay unwiped.
rsa::Plaintext: AES-KW unwrap's output, always a key, already goes unwiped to the caller's buffer, as aws-lc-rs's decrypt does.
✅ Stop wiping it, for one rule. MIGRATING.md says it is not wiped.
Keep it as key material.
AGENTS.md's "as aws-lc does": aws-lc's OPENSSL_free cleanses every allocation, so the claim no longer holds.
✅ Drop the claim and state the rule's new scope. REVIEW.md flags any other wipe as a finding; MIGRATING.md, proofs/README.md (whose line covers drops, which the heap scratch wipes are not), and benchmarks/gaps.toml are consistent with it.
Validation
just check on 1f7373f7: all steps pass, 622 tests (rs, msrv, cross, deny, license, inplace, bench, fixtures, quest, shell, nix).
cargo clippy -p rind --lib for aarch64 and armv7: clean.
admin/prove (in the prove dev shell) on 6b5194bb: passes, 2455 jobs. The later changes touch no file it quotes. proofs/Rind/X86_64/DigestDispatch.lean quotes digest.rs's dispatch. Its quote now reads &'static Ops<C> instead of ZeroableRef<Ops<C>>, and the model's notes on ZeroableRef and drops are gone. Ops was already modelled as Unit, so the Lean is unchanged.
Merged origin/main again at 8a37d942 (quest-only). Earlier, merged origin/main after moq-dev/rind#383 landed. That resolved conflicts in digest.rs and aes_kw.rs, and moved hmac::Context's new Debug impl onto the private enum.
Review
Codex gpt-6.1-sol (medium), session 01a1afa2:
Rounds 1 to 4, on d34eecc9, c08b034a, 6b5194bb, and f955e3b3: no findings. At the fourth-round checkpoint no finding was pending and the approach stood.
Round 5 on 1f7373f7, after restoring the private-key-derived heap scratch wipes, the AGENTS.md and REVIEW.md wording, and a merge of origin/main: no findings.
Online: the OpenAI review on c08b034a found the stale proof quote (review), fixed in 6b5194bb. CodeRabbit's three doc comments: two are fixed in f955e3b3 (REVIEW.md names in-call copies; MIGRATING.md says Plaintext is not wiped), and the /proc/self/mem caveat is refuted in its thread. Pullfrog did not run: its provider account is out of credit.
Digest contexts, OAEP plaintexts, HKDF's and PBKDF2's per-block HMAC
contexts, per-call AES schedules, and heap scratch no longer wipe.
AGENTS.md and REVIEW.md say so.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
[P2] Update the digest proof model with the dispatch change — rind/src/high/digest.rs:184–185 (and Hashing::{start,update,finish}). proofs/Rind/X86_64/DigestDispatch.lean still quotes ops: ZeroableRef<Ops<C>>, its constructor, and .get() calls. admin/prove explicitly compares that quote with these Rust items before translating anything, so the direct-reference change makes proof validation exit immediately. This is already reproduced by the current PR merge check: prove run 42185251643, job 127783943109 prints exactly this diff and exits 1. Update the quoted Rust and the model's ZeroableRef/drop explanation, regenerate the corresponding aarch64 copy and any affected translations through admin/prove, then rerun the full proof command. Updating only proofs/README.md leaves the proof/source correspondence check broken.
Scope and limits: Reviewed all 27 changed-file patches, traced the public HMAC context's retained wipe versus the internal HKDF/PBKDF2 streaming state, checked the ManuallyDrop-backed AES/GHASH types and retained zeroing coverage, and inspected the failing proof job. The documented decision to stop wiping per-call scratch and decrypted plaintext was treated as intentional. No additional actionable code defect found. GitHub-only static review; I did not execute tests, ctgrind, benchmarks, or the proof command myself. This COMMENT is not an approval.
The pull request removes drop-time zeroization from digest contexts, decrypted plaintext, temporary key buffers, and cryptographic scratch data. HMAC contexts retain zeroization through a new streaming-state ownership path. Related tests, project guidance, benchmark records, and quest documentation are updated.
Merge Risk: Low · up to c08b0
The wipe-scope change has bounded documentation risks: users need an explicit plaintext-retention warning, and contributor guidance needs accurate exposure reasoning and the per-call exception. These are localized corrections; no runtime blocker is established.

Correct the memory-exposure rationale.
On Linux, safe Rust can read residual plaintext through /proc/self/mem when the page remains mapped and procfs access is available. The current rationale can cause reviewers to dismiss that exposure. State the risk without changing the wipe policy.

Not changing this. /proc/self/mem reads a live key exactly as it reads a freed copy, so it is outside what a drop-wipe defends against. A process that can open it already has every key it holds. The rule's rationale is about stale copies after their owner is gone, which ordinary safe Rust cannot reach.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
@kixelated Understood. Your rationale concerns ordinary safe Rust access, not OS memory-inspection interfaces. Where permitted, /proc/self/mem can still read mapped residual bytes after the owner is gone. I won’t pursue the wording change.

# Stance
Check these first, on every path the change adds or touches:
- **Wiped secrets**: a type that owns a key or keyed state zeroises it on drop, and a long-lived key type is covered by `rind/tests/zeroing.rs`. Stack temporaries and scratch are not findings unless aws-lc clears its equivalent.
Fixed in 6b5194b, in reply to the automated review. DigestDispatch.lean's quote now comes from admin/prove's own items extractor, so it matches digest.rs exactly, and the model's notes on ZeroableRef and drops are gone. Ops is already Unit in TypesExternal.lean, so &'static Ops<C> translates as before and the Lean model needs no other change. There is no tracked aarch64 copy: admin/prove writes it. admin/prove passes locally (2455 jobs).
Follow-up to my previous review: the P2 stale digest proof quote is addressed. The only file changed since c08b034 is proofs/Rind/X86_64/DigestDispatch.lean. I checked its complete Rust quote against the corresponding digest.rs items: they match exactly. The obsolete ZeroableRef and context-drop explanation is removed, and TypesExternal.lean already represents Ops as Unit. The aarch64 model is generated by admin/prove, rather than tracked separately.
No new actionable finding in this fix. Next validation step: let the full prove run 42186694657 finish; it is still in progress at review time. The author's reported local success is not an independent CI result. GitHub-only static and source-correspondence review; I did not execute the proof command or tests. This COMMENT is not an approval.
The maintainer kept #267's wipes: RSA's power tables and key generation's
heap scratch hold key-equivalent values. AGENTS.md and REVIEW.md state the
rule as keys, keyed state, and private-key-derived heap scratch.

perf: stop wiping anything but keys, keyed state, and private-key heap scratch
Nov 6, 2026
I compared this head with f955e3b and separated the quest-only main merge from the wipe-policy change. The restored wipes in PosInt::{is_coprime, mont_exp, mod_inverse}, x86_64 mont_exp, and RSAZ clear their heap buffers after their last use. The restored Zeroable implementations cover integer-only table entries. All three affected source files are byte-for-byte identical to the current base, 8a37d94. The updated AGENTS.md and REVIEW.md consistently retain private-key-derived heap scratch while leaving the previously reviewed per-call and plaintext behavior unchanged.
Direction: retain the restored heap-scratch wipes and wait for the full prove run to finish. It is still in progress at review time; the author's reported local checks are not independently verified here.
Scope and limits: GitHub-only incremental static review of the update and its base relationship. I did not run tests, ctgrind, benchmarks, or the proof command. This COMMENT is not an approval.
Since #394, each hash's `Tagging::start` built the `Streaming` newtype
itself, and LLVM copied the enum out of a stack temporary with loads
misaligned against the stores before them, stalling store forwarding on
every HKDF-Expand block. `start` returns `Tagged` again and `Keyed::start`
wraps it, which restores the pre-#394 code for all four hashes.
