Available on crate feature secp256k1 only.
Expand description

A Secp256k1 secret key.

Implementations§

Generate a new random Secp256k1 secret key.

Create a secret key from a byte slice, zeroing the slice on success. If the bytes do not constitute a valid Secp256k1 secret key, an error is returned.

Note that the expected binary format is the same as libsecp256k1’s.

Decode a DER-encoded Secp256k1 secret key in an ECPrivateKey structure as defined in RFC5915, zeroing the input slice on success.

Sign a message with this secret key, producing a DER-encoded ECDSA signature, as defined in RFC3278.

Returns the raw bytes of the secret key.

Sign a raw message of length 256 bits with this secret key, produces a DER-encoded ECDSA signature.
