Previously it was returning 0 or 1, so flipping a single bit in the return value reversed its meaning. Now it's returning the diff itself. This is safe because in the two places it's used (signature verification and point validation), invalid values will have a large number of bits differing from the expected value, so diff will have a large Hamming weight. An alternative would be to return for example -!(diff == 0), but the comparison itself is prone to attacks (glitching the appropriate flag in the CPU flags register, or the conditional branch if the comparison uses one). So we'd need to protect the comparison, and it's simpler to just skip it and return diff itself. |
