TRON TIPs — proposals with recent activity
A repository contributor added technical details and suggested using confirmed historical transactions as replay fixtures in addition to constructed test vectors, posted to issue #935 titled "TIP-935: Harden ECDSA Signature Validation" (Oct 2, 00:03 UTC). The commenter explained that under legacy recovery, an infinity-recovery signature can contribute the weight assigned to an address without possession of a corresponding private key, and whether that is sufficient for authorization depends on the permission threshold and the remaining checks. The commenter stated they will verify representative transactions from reported history and document it in the TIP, with the scan date and index scope clearly stated, and that the permission-update transaction is particularly useful for explaining the transition to ordinary signing keys. The issue proposes strict validation mode for recoverable secp256k1 ECDSA signatures. https://github.com/tronprotocol/tips/issues/935#issuecomment-5943025214
