The 5 Core Assertion Domains

1️⃣ Input Validation (input_validation module)

Validate user-provided parameters before processing.

Functions:

  • assert_valid_bps(bps: u32) — Validate 0-10000 range
  • assert_positive_amount(amount: i128) — Require > 0
  • assert_non_negative_amount(amount: i128) — Require ≥ 0
  • assert_positive_period_id(period_id: u64) — Require > 0

Example:

use crate::security_assertions::input_validation;

// In register_offering
input_validation::assert_valid_bps(revenue_share_bps)?;

// In deposit_revenue
input_validation::assert_positive_amount(amount)?;

2️⃣ Authorization Boundaries (auth_boundaries module)

Ensure proper authorization for sensitive operations.

Functions:

  • assert_address_authorized(env: &Env, addr: &Address) — Documentation checkpoint
  • assert_issuer_authorized(env: &Env, issuer: &Address) — Issuer-only ops
  • assert_is_proposed_recipient(acceptor, proposed) — Transfer accept validation
  • assert_is_proposed_admin(acceptor, proposed) — Rotation accept validation

Example:

use crate::security_assertions::auth_boundaries;

// In accept_issuer_transfer
auth_boundaries::assert_is_proposed_recipient(&caller, &proposed_issuer)?;

3️⃣ State Consistency (state_consistency module)

Verify contract invariants and state machine correctness.

Functions:

  • assert_no_transfer_pending(is_pending) — No concurrent transfers
  • assert_transfer_pending(is_pending) — Transfer exists
  • assert_offering_exists(offering) — Offering registered
  • assert_contract_not_frozen(is_frozen) — Contract active

Example:

use crate::security_assertions::state_consistency;

// In propose_issuer_transfer
state_consistency::assert_no_transfer_pending(transfer_pending)?;

// In any state-changing operation
state_consistency::assert_contract_not_frozen(is_frozen)?;

4️⃣ Safe Math (safe_math module)

Prevent arithmetic overflow/underflow.

Functions:

  • safe_add(a, b) — Addition with overflow check
  • safe_mul(a, b) — Multiplication with overflow check
  • safe_compute_share(amount, bps) — Share calculation (bounded)
  • saturating_add(a, b) — Addition with saturation

Example:

use crate::security_assertions::safe_math;

// In claim calculations
let payout = safe_math::safe_compute_share(revenue, share_bps)?;

// In audit summary updates
let total = safe_math::safe_add(current_total, new_amount)?;

5️⃣ Abort Handling (abort_handling module)

Classify errors and provide recovery patterns.

Functions:

  • is_recoverable_error(error) — Classify error severity
  • recover_with_default(result, default) — Provide fallback
  • assert_operation_fails(result, expected) — Test error path
  • assert_operation_succeeds(result) — Test happy path

Example:

use crate::security_assertions::abort_handling;

// In error handling
match operation() {
    Err(e) if abort_handling::is_recoverable_error(&e) => {
        log_warning(&e);
        continue;  // Safe to continue
    },
    Err(e) => return Err(e),  // Fatal error
    Ok(v) => process(v),
}

How to Use in Your Code

Pattern 1: Validation Chain

fn register_offering(
    env: Env,
    issuer: Address,
    token: Address,
    revenue_share_bps: u32,
) -> Result<(), RevoraError> {
    use crate::security_assertions;

    // 1. Auth boundary
    env.require_auth(&issuer);
    security_assertions::auth_boundaries::assert_issuer_authorized(&env, &issuer);

    // 2. Input validation
    security_assertions::input_validation::assert_valid_bps(revenue_share_bps)?;

    // 3. State consistency
    security_assertions::state_consistency::assert_contract_not_frozen(is_frozen)?;

    // 4. Proceed with operation
    register_offering_internal(...)?;
    
    Ok(())
}

Pattern 2: Safe Calculations

fn compute_payout(revenue: i128, share_bps: u32) -> Result<i128, RevoraError> {
    use crate::security_assertions;

    // Validate input
    security_assertions::input_validation::assert_valid_share_bps(share_bps)?;

    // Safe calculation
    security_assertions::safe_math::safe_compute_share(revenue, share_bps)
}

Pattern 3: Error Recovery

fn get_offering_safe(issuer: Address) -> u32 {
    use crate::security_assertions;

    match get_offering(&issuer) {
        Some(offering) => offering.count,
        None if abort_handling::is_recoverable_error(&RevoraError::OfferingNotFound) => {
            0  // Safe default
        },
        Err(e) => panic!("Fatal error: {:?}", e),
    }
}

Security Assumptions

1. Authentication

  • Soroban host enforces require_auth() at transaction level
  • Only authorized signers can execute protected operations

2. Storage

  • Contract storage is atomic and durable
  • No concurrent mutations to critical state

3. Math

  • i128 is sufficient for all financial calculations
  • Checked arithmetic prevents overflow/underflow

4. Token Contracts

  • Token contracts properly enforce auth for transfers
  • Only authorized addresses can move tokens

Troubleshooting

Issue Solution
Module not found Check src/security_assertions.rs exists; verify module declared in lib.rs
Tests fail Ensure Rust toolchain updated; run cargo clean then rebuild
Clippy warnings Run cargo clippy --fix --allow-dirty
Coverage < 95% Add tests for uncovered lines following test patterns

Next Steps

For Integration (Future PRs)

  1. Gradually migrate existing validation code
  2. Replace ad-hoc error handling with module patterns
  3. Add security checkpoints to all state-changing ops

For Production

  1. Monitor assertion failures via contract events
  2. Track error patterns for compliance
  3. Extend module based on real-world usage

For Enhancement

  1. Add oracle integration for concentration values
  2. Optimize gas usage of assertion chains
  3. Add formal verification of invariants
