ClockinChain Big Integer Specifications

This document collection contains the normative specifications for the ClockinChain Big Integer library, a production-ready big integer crate for blockchain consensus engines.

Specifications

Overview

The ClockinChain Big Integer specifications define a complete cryptographic big integer arithmetic library with the following key properties:

  • Deterministic: Bit-for-bit identical results across all platforms
  • Constant-time: All operations execute in constant time to prevent timing attacks
  • Canonical encoding: Unique representation for each integer value
  • Gas metering: Precomputable gas costs for VM execution
  • Montgomery arithmetic: Full support for cryptographic operations
  • Time-sliced operations: Pausable long operations for async VM execution

Implementation

These specifications are implemented in the clock-bigint Rust crate.
