Setup now generates each voter's return-code card by collecting shares from all
four CCs over the bus (the GenEncLongCodeShares exchange) and distributes cards
and the mapping table over CONFIDENTIAL channels.
- codes.go: deriveReturnCodeKey is the SINGLE key-derivation function used by a
CC both when contributing to card assembly and (later) at vote-time extraction
— structurally preventing the setup/extraction derivation mismatch (F1). Each
CC computes its choice/confirm shares from its private return-code secret;
only the shares (validated as G_q members on decode) cross the bus.
- RunCards assembles cards, registers mapping-table entries, and delivers cards
to voters + the mapping table to the server via sendConfidential (X25519 ECDH
session key + AES-256-GCM, then Ed25519-signed) — exercising the secure
channel in the ceremony, not just in tests.
- returncodes: MappingTable Export/ImportMappingTable for transport.
Test confirms every voter receives its card confidentially with the right code
count and the server receives the full mapping table + public election keys.
