zeekay b50de9cebd luxfi/tee: optional TEE-backed threshold custody extension
Extracted verbatim from luxfi/threshold/protocols/{mldsa,rlwe,slhdsa}-tee
to decomplect optional TEE custody from the threshold core. The cores
(pulsar/corona/magnetar/mpc) never depend on this module; the dependency
points tee -> core only. The permissionless dealerless signing path in
luxfi/threshold has zero dependency on TEE.

Packages:
  mldsa-tee   ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204) TEE custody signer
  rlwe-tee    Corona Ring-LWE TEE custody signer
  slhdsa-tee  SLH-DSA (FIPS 205) TEE custody signer + t-of-n CombinerPool

Full end-to-end attestation suites (committed AMD Milan SEV-SNP vectors,
HSM release-gate, byte-identity with FIPS reference) moved with the
packages and pass: go build/vet/test ./... all green.

mldsa-tee

Operator-controlled ML-DSA threshold signing via TEE-gated master-seed reconstruction.

What this is

Sibling of protocols/slhdsa-tee for the FIPS 204 (ML-DSA / Dilithium) primitive. Output is byte-identical to single-party pulsar.SignDeterministic on the same seed-derived sk.

When to use

  • Institutional custody of ML-DSA signing keys with HSM-resident wrap.
  • IAM signing-as-a-service that requires attested release per operation.
  • Bridge oracles whose signing key is governed by an executive approval flow.

When NOT to use

  • Permissionless threshold custody: use pulsar.OrchestrateV03Sign (v0.3 AlgebraicAggregate) — no party ever holds the master sk.
  • Single-party / dev: use pulsar.GenerateKey + pulsar.Sign.

Layering

caller
  └── mldsatee.Signer.Sign(ctx, env, jobID, msg, signCtx)
        ├── approval.ApprovalProvider.ApproveIntent
        ├── kms.ReleaseGate.Issue / Release
        │     └── cc/attest.Dispatch
        ├── hsm.Provider.GetKey
        ├── pulsar.KeyFromSeed → pulsar.Sign
        └── hsm.Provider.Sign (audit)

Each step is independently complete and replaceable. The default permissionless path (pulsar.OrchestrateV03Sign) remains the canonical surface; this TEE-extension is opt-in via the threshold dispatcher's Sign_TEE method.
