## Introduction

This document details the beacon chain additions and changes in Phase 1 of Ethereum 2.0 to support the shard data custody game, building upon the [Phase 0](0_beacon-chain.md) specification.

## Data structures

### New Beacon Chain operations

#### `CustodySlashing`

```python
class CustodySlashing(Container):
    # Attestation.custody_bits[data_index][committee.index(malefactor_index)] is the target custody bit to check.
    # (Attestation.data.shard_transition_root as ShardTransition).shard_data_roots[data_index] is the root of the data.
    data_index: uint64
    malefactor_index: ValidatorIndex
    malefactor_key: BLSSignature
    whistleblower_index: ValidatorIndex
    shard_transition: ShardTransition
    attestation: Attestation
    data: Bytes[MAX_SHARD_BLOCK_CHUNKS * SHARD_BLOCK_CHUNK_SIZE]
    signature: BLSSignature
```

#### `CustodyKeyReveal`

```python
class CustodyKeyReveal(Container):
    # Index of the validator whose key is being revealed
    revealer_index: ValidatorIndex
    # Reveal (masked signature)
    reveal: BLSSignature
```

#### `EarlyDerivedSecretReveal`

Represents an early (punishable) reveal of one of the derived secrets, where derived secrets are RANDAO reveals and custody reveals (both are part of the same domain).

```python
class EarlyDerivedSecretReveal(Container):
    # Index of the validator whose key is being revealed
    revealed_index: ValidatorIndex
    # RANDAO epoch of the key that is being revealed
    epoch: Epoch
    # Reveal (masked signature)
    reveal: BLSSignature
    # Index of the validator who revealed (whistleblower)
    masker_index: ValidatorIndex
    # Mask used to hide the actual reveal signature (prevent reveal from being stolen)
    mask: Bytes32
```


## Helpers

### `legendre_bit`

Returns the Legendre symbol `(a/q)` normalizes as a bit (i.e. `((a/q) + 1) // 2`). In a production implementation, a well-optimized library (e.g. GMP) should be used for this.

```python
def legendre_bit(a: int, q: int) -> int:
    if a >= q:
        return legendre_bit(a % q, q)
    if a == 0:
        return 0
    assert(q > a > 0 and q % 2 == 1)
    t = 1
    n = q
    while a != 0:
        while a % 2 == 0:
            a //= 2
            r = n % 8
            if r == 3 or r == 5:
                t = -t
        a, n = n, a
        if a % 4 == n % 4 == 3:
            t = -t
        a %= n
    if n == 1:
        return (t + 1) // 2
    else:
        return 0
```

### `custody_atoms`

Given one set of data, return the custody atoms: each atom will be combined with one legendre bit.

```python
def get_custody_atoms(bytez: bytes) -> Sequence[bytes]:
    bytez += b'\x00' * (-len(bytez) % BYTES_PER_CUSTODY_ATOM)  # right-padding
    return [bytez[i:i + BYTES_PER_CUSTODY_ATOM]
            for i in range(0, len(bytez), BYTES_PER_CUSTODY_ATOM)]
```

### `compute_custody_bit`

```python
def compute_custody_bit(key: BLSSignature, data: bytes) -> bit:
    full_G2_element = bls_signature_to_G2(key)
    s = full_G2_element[0].coeffs
    bits = [legendre_bit((i + 1) * s[i % 2] + int.from_bytes(atom, "little"), BLS12_381_Q)
            for i, atom in enumerate(get_custody_atoms(data))]
    # XOR all atom bits
    return bit(sum(bits) % 2)
```

### `get_randao_epoch_for_custody_period`

```python
def get_randao_epoch_for_custody_period(period: uint64, validator_index: ValidatorIndex) -> Epoch:
    next_period_start = (period + 1) * EPOCHS_PER_CUSTODY_PERIOD - validator_index % EPOCHS_PER_CUSTODY_PERIOD
    return Epoch(next_period_start + CUSTODY_PERIOD_TO_RANDAO_PADDING)
```

### `get_custody_period_for_validator`

```python
def get_custody_period_for_validator(validator_index: ValidatorIndex, epoch: Epoch) -> int:
    '''
    Return the reveal period for a given validator.
    '''
    return (epoch + validator_index % EPOCHS_PER_CUSTODY_PERIOD) // EPOCHS_PER_CUSTODY_PERIOD
```


## Per-block processing

### Custody Game Operations

```python
def process_custody_game_operations(state: BeaconState, body: BeaconBlockBody) -> None:
    def for_ops(operations: Sequence[Any], fn: Callable[[BeaconState, Any], None]) -> None:
        for operation in operations:
            fn(state, operation)

    for_ops(body.custody_key_reveals, process_custody_key_reveal)

    for_ops(body.custody_slashings, process_custody_slashing)

#### Custody Slashings

```python

    attestation = custody_slashing.attestation

    # Any signed custody-slashing should result in at least one slashing.
    # If the custody bits are valid, then the claim itself is slashed.
    malefactor = state.validators[custody_slashing.malefactor_index]

```


## Per-epoch processing

### Handling of reveal deadlines

Run `process_reveal_deadlines(state)` after `process_registry_updates(state)`:

```python
def process_reveal_deadlines(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    for index, validator in enumerate(state.validators):
        if get_custody_period_for_validator(state, ValidatorIndex(index)) > validator.next_custody_secret_to_reveal:
            slash_validator(state, ValidatorIndex(index))
```

### Final updates

After `process_final_updates(state)`, additional updates are made for the custody game:

```python
def process_custody_final_updates(state: BeaconState) -> None:
    # Clean up exposed RANDAO key reveals
    state.exposed_derived_secrets[get_current_epoch(state) % EARLY_DERIVED_SECRET_PENALTY_MAX_FUTURE_EPOCHS] = []
```
