pub struct SECP256K1 { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

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

Methods from Deref<Target = Secp256k1<All>>

Create a schnorr signature without using any auxiliary random data.

Create a Schnorr signature using the given auxiliary random data.

Verify a Schnorr signature.

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

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

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

Constructs a signature for msg using the secret key sk, RFC6979 nonce and “grinds” the nonce by passing extra entropy if necessary to produce a signature that is less than 71 - bytes_to_grund bytes. The number of signing operation performed by this function is exponential in the number of bytes grinded. Requires a signing capable context.

Constructs a signature for msg using the secret key sk, RFC6979 nonce and “grinds” the nonce by passing extra entropy if necessary to produce a signature that is less than 71 bytes and compatible with the low r signature implementation of bitcoin core. In average, this function will perform two signing operations. Requires a signing capable context.

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));
