Struct ckb_crypto::secp::SECP256K1[−][src]

pub struct SECP256K1 { /* fields omitted */ }

Expand description

The reference to lazily-initialized static secp256k1 engine, used to execute all signature operations

Methods from Deref<Target = Secp256k1<All>>

[src]

pub fn sign_recoverable(
    &self,
    msg: &Message,
    sk: &SecretKey
) -> RecoverableSignature

Constructs a signature for msg using the secret key sk and RFC6979 nonce Requires a signing-capable context.

[src]

pub fn recover(
 &self,
 msg: &Message,
 sig: &RecoverableSignature
) -> Result<PublicKey, Error>

Determines the public key for which sig is a valid signature for msg. Requires a verify-capable context.

[src]

pub fn ctx(&self) -> &*mut Context

Getter for the raw pointer to the underlying secp256k1 context. This shouldn’t be needed with normal usage of the library. It enables extending the Secp256k1 with more cryptographic algorithms outside of this crate.

[src]

pub fn sign(&self, msg: &Message, sk: &SecretKey) -> Signature

Constructs a signature for msg using the secret key sk and RFC6979 nonce Requires a signing-capable context.

[src]

pub fn verify(
 &self,
 msg: &Message,
 sig: &Signature,
 pk: &PublicKey
) -> Result<(), Error>

Checks that sig is a valid ECDSA signature for msg using the public key pubkey. Returns Ok(()) on success. Note that this function cannot be used for Bitcoin consensus checking since there may exist signatures which OpenSSL would verify but not libsecp256k1, or vice-versa. Requires a verify-capable context.

let message = Message::from_slice(&[0xab; 32]).expect("32 bytes");
let sig = secp.sign(&message, &secret_key);
assert_eq!(secp.verify(&message, &sig, &public_key), Ok(()));

let message = Message::from_slice(&[0xcd; 32]).expect("32 bytes");
assert_eq!(secp.verify(&message, &sig, &public_key), Err(Error::IncorrectSignature));
