Updates both crates with the
SignPrimitivechanges from RustCrypto/signatures#107.These changes removed the
masking_scalarargument from the trait, and replaced it with trait bounds that make it possible to substitute a blinded scalar.In the
p256crate (which is the only one that presently implements a variable-time inversion) themasking_scalaris replaced with aBlindedScalartype that implements the previous blinded inversion.The implementation it uses (including
Scalar::invert_vartime) could potentially be made generic and extracted into theelliptic-curvecrate, allowing it to be used with any curve which implements the arithmetic primitives used in the blinded inversion implementation.However, for now, this PR leaves it in
p256, and therefore at least has feature parity with the old implementation.
