feat: Utilize Signature Verification Methods to Secure L2-only Blocks

[jbcaron]

Feature Request

Summary

We need to enhance the security of blocks that exist solely on Layer 2 by implementing signature verification methods.

Action Required

• Implement Signature Verification: Utilize the get_signature and get_public_key endpoints to verify block data on L2.
• Use ECDSA on the STARK Curve for all cryptographic signatures to ensure data integrity and authenticity.

Goals

• Ensure Data Integrity: Verify that all L2 block data (block_hash & state_diff_commitment) is accurate and unchanged.
• Increase Security: Protect against unauthorized data changes and potential security threats.

Impact

• Nodes will require updates to handle new verification methods.
• Operators must learn how to use these new features effectively.

Feedback Requested

• Please provide feedback on this plan, especially any concerns about implementation or potential impacts on system performance.

Note

• This mechanism is temporary and will be replaced by the Starknet Consensus protocol once it is released
• The key pair will be updated every year (unless the key is compromised, in which case we will replace it immediately)
