## BIP54 test vectors | ||
|
||
This folder contains a set of test vectors for each mitigation introduced in the BIP. This document | ||
presents them in more details. | ||
|
||
The code used to generate half of the test vectors is included with the implementation and available | ||
[here][other-vectors]. The other half requires mining mainnet blocks and is [published | ||
separately][bip54-miner]. In both cases it is implemented as a regular Bitcoin Core unit test, and | ||
the test vectors are persisted as a JSON file if the `UPDATE_JSON_TESTS` preprocessor directive is | ||
set (off by default). | ||
|
||
To compile the [header][header-miner] and [block][block-miner] miners you may have to link to | ||
libatomic explicitly. This can be achieved like so: | ||
``` | ||
cmake -B atomicbuild -DAPPEND_LDFLAGS="-latomic" | ||
cmake --build atomicbuild/ -j $(nproc) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
[Premined headers][premined-headers] are also provided along with the header miner to allow changing | ||
some of the last headers without having to re-generate the whole chain. | ||
|
||
|
||
### Difficulty adjustment exploits | ||
|
||
The [`timestamps.json`](./timestamps.json) test vectors exercise the two constraints on block header | ||
timestamps introduced by BIP54 to mitigate the Timewarp and Murch-Zawy attacks. Each test case | ||
features a chain of mainnet headers starting from the genesis block, and whether this header chain | ||
is valid by BIP54 rules. Each test case also contains a comment describing why this particular chain | ||
is (in)valid according to BIP54. All test cases are valid according to current Bitcoin consensus | ||
rules. It is intended to be used to test a BIP54 implementation by feeding the header chain to a | ||
Bitcoin node implementation, enforcing the BIP54 rules on this chain from genesis. | ||
|
||
The test vector file features a JSON array of JSON objects, each corresponding to a test case. Each | ||
JSON object features the following entries: | ||
- `header_chain`: a JSON array of strings. An ordered list of hex-encoded mainnet block headers. | ||
- `valid`: a JSON boolean. Whether this chain of headers is valid according to BIP54. | ||
- `comment`: a JSON string. Description of the test case. | ||
|
||
For the purpose of testing a Timewarp fix, a Timewarp attack was included early on in the history of | ||
testnet3. An implementer of BIP54 may want to ensure that syncing testnet3 by enforcing BIP54 since | ||
genesis will treat block `00000000118da1e2165a19307b86f87eba814845e8a0f99734dce279ca3fb029` as | ||
invalid. | ||
|
||
|
||
### Long block validation time | ||
|
||
The [`sigops.json`](sigops.json) file contains test vectors for the limit on the number of | ||
potentially-executed legacy signature operations in a single transaction, introduced by BIP54 in | ||
order to mitigate long block validation times. Each test case represents a transaction and whether a | ||
block containing it would be valid according to BIP54. The test cases feature an extensive set of | ||
combinations of inputs and output types, ways to run into the limit, historical violations and some | ||
pathological transactions exhibiting the specific implementation details. All test cases but those | ||
belonging to this last category feature transactions that are valid under current Bitcoin consensus | ||
rules. Each test case also features a comment describing why the transaction is (in)valid according | ||
to BIP54. | ||
|
||
The test vector file features a JSON array of JSON objects, each corresponding to a test case. Each | ||
JSON object features the following entries: | ||
- `spent_outputs`: a JSON array of strings. An ordered list of hex-encoded Bitcoin-serialized | ||
transaction outputs spent by each input of this test case's transaction. | ||
- `tx`: a JSON string. A hex-encoded Bitcoin-serialized transaction to be evaluated. | ||
- `valid`: a JSON boolean. Whether this transaction is valid according to current consensus rules | ||
supplemented by BIP54. | ||
- `comment`: a JSON string. Description of the test case. | ||
|
||
|
||
### Merkle tree malleability with 64-byte transactions | ||
|
||
The [`txsize.json`](./txsize.json) file contains test cases exercising the new constraint on | ||
non-witness transaction size introduced in BIP54. Each test case contains a transaction and whether | ||
it would be valid according to BIP54, as well as a comment describing why it is (in)valid. All test | ||
cases are otherwise valid according to current Bitcoin consensus rules. | ||
|
||
The test vector file features a JSON array of JSON objects, each corresponding to a test case. Each | ||
JSON object features the following entries: | ||
- `tx`: a JSON string. A hex-encoded Bitcoin-serialized transaction to be evaluated. | ||
- `valid`: a JSON boolean. Whether this transaction is valid according to BIP54. | ||
- `comment`: a JSON string. Description of the test case. | ||
|
||
|
||
### Possibility of duplicate coinbase transactions | ||
|
||
The [`coinbases.json`](./coinbases.json) file contains test cases exercising the new restrictions on | ||
coinbase transactions introduced in BIP54 to prevent duplicate coinbase transactions without | ||
resorting to BIP30 validation. Each test case contains a chain of mainnet blocks (including the | ||
genesis block), and whether this block chain is valid according to BIP54. All test cases are valid | ||
according to current Bitcoin's consensus rules, except one that features a block containing a | ||
coinbase transaction timelocked to a future block height. | ||

Should there then perhaps also be a test case that has a coinbase transaction locked to a block height that is lower than required? There was a problem hiding this comment.

There definitely was one but looks like i messed up somewhere in re-generating the vectors. Will re-add it, thank you. There was a problem hiding this comment.

Just to be clear, I was just looking at the description, I did not check the test vectors, so it might just be the description that is off. There was a problem hiding this comment.
