secp256k1

Build Status ISC License GoDoc

Package dcrec implements elliptic curve cryptography needed for working with Decred (secp256k1 only for now). It is designed so that it may be used with the standard crypto/ecdsa packages provided with go. A comprehensive suite of test is provided to ensure proper functionality. Package dcrec was originally based on work from ThePiachu which is licensed under the same terms as Go, but it has signficantly diverged since then. The Decred developers original is licensed under the liberal ISC license.

Although this package was primarily written for dcrd, it has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to use secp256k1 elliptic curve cryptography.

Installation and Updating

$ go get -u github.com/decred/dcrd/dcrec

Examples

  • Sign Message
    Demonstrates signing a message with a secp256k1 private key that is first parsed form raw bytes and serializing the generated signature.

  • Verify Signature
    Demonstrates verifying a secp256k1 signature against a public key that is first parsed from raw bytes. The signature is also parsed from raw bytes.

  • Encryption
    Demonstrates encrypting a message for a public key that is first parsed from raw bytes, then decrypting it using the corresponding private key.

  • Decryption
    Demonstrates decrypting a message using a private key that is first parsed from raw bytes.

License

Package dcrec is licensed under the copyfree ISC License except for dcrec.go and dcrec_test.go which is under the same license as Go.

Overview

Package secp256k1 implements support for the elliptic curves needed for qitmeer.

qitmeer uses elliptic curve cryptography using koblitz curves (specifically secp256k1) for cryptographic functions. See http://www.secg.org/collateral/sec2_final.pdf for details on the standard.

This package provides the data structures and functions implementing the crypto/elliptic Curve interface in order to permit using these curves with the standard crypto/ecdsa package provided with go. Helper functionality is provided to parse signatures and public keys from standard formats.

Example (DecryptMessage)

This example demonstrates decrypting a message using a private key that is first parsed from raw bytes. 

package main

import (
	"encoding/hex"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/Qitmeer/qitmeer/crypto/ecc/secp256k1"

	// Decode the hex-encoded private key.
	pkBytes, err := hex.DecodeString("a11b0a4e1a132305652ee7a8eb7848f6ad" +
		"5ea381e3ce20a2c086a2e388230811")

Constants

View Source 
const (
	PubKeyBytesLenCompressed   = 33
	PubKeyBytesLenUncompressed = 65
)

These constants define the lengths of serialized public keys.

View Source 
const PrivKeyBytesLen = 32

PrivKeyBytesLen defines the length in bytes of a serialized private key.

Variables

View Source 
var (
	// ErrInvalidMAC occurs when Message Authentication Check (MAC) fails

Functions

func Decrypt 

func Decrypt(priv *PrivateKey, in []byte) ([]byte, error)

Decrypt decrypts data that was encrypted using the Encrypt function.

func Encrypt 

func Encrypt(pubkey *PublicKey, in []byte) ([]byte, error)

Encrypt encrypts data for the target public key using AES-256-CBC. It also generates a private key (the pubkey of which is also in the output). The only supported curve is secp256k1. The `structure' that it encodes everything into is: 

struct {
	// Initialization Vector used for AES-256-CBC
	IV [16]byte
	// Public Key: curve(2) + len_of_pubkeyX(2) + pubkeyX +
	// len_of_pubkeyY(2) + pubkeyY (curve = 714)
	PublicKey [70]byte
	// Cipher text
	Data []byte
	// HMAC-SHA-256 Message Authentication Code
	HMAC [32]byte
}

The primary aim is to ensure byte compatibility with Pyelliptic. Also, refer to section 5.8.1 of ANSI X9.63 for rationale on this format.

func GenerateKey 

func GenerateKey(rand io.Reader) (priv []byte, x,
	y *big.Int, err error)

GenerateKey generates a key using a random number generator, returning the private scalar and the corresponding public key points.

func GenerateSharedSecret 

func GenerateSharedSecret(privkey *PrivateKey, pubkey *PublicKey) []byte

GenerateSharedSecret generates a shared secret based on a private key and a public key using Diffie-Hellman key exchange (ECDH) (RFC 4753). RFC5903 Section 9 states we should only return x.

func NAF 

func NAF(k []byte) ([]byte, []byte)

NAF takes a positive integer k and returns the Non-Adjacent Form (NAF) as two byte slices. The first is where 1s will be. The second is where -1s will be. NAF is convenient in that on average, only 1/3rd of its values are non-zero. This is algorithm 3.30 from [GECC].

Essentially, this makes it possible to minimize the number of operations since the resulting ints returned will be at least 50% 0s.

func NonceRFC6979 

func NonceRFC6979(privkey *big.Int, hash []byte, extra []byte,
	version []byte) *big.Int

NonceRFC6979 generates an ECDSA nonce (`k`) deterministically according to RFC 6979. It takes a 32-byte hash as an input and returns 32-byte nonce to be used in ECDSA algorithm.

func PrivKeyFromBytes 

func PrivKeyFromBytes(pk []byte) (*PrivateKey,
	*PublicKey)

PrivKeyFromBytes returns a private and public key for `curve' based on the private key passed as an argument as a byte slice.

func PrivKeyFromScalar 

func PrivKeyFromScalar(s []byte) (*PrivateKey,
	*PublicKey)

PrivKeyFromScalar is the same as PrivKeyFromBytes in secp256k1.

func SignCompact 

func SignCompact(key *PrivateKey,
	hash []byte, isCompressedKey bool) ([]byte, error)

SignCompact produces a compact signature of the data in hash with the given private key on the given koblitz curve. The isCompressed parameter should be used to detail if the given signature should reference a compressed public key or not. If successful the bytes of the compact signature will be returned in the format: <(byte of 27+public key solution)+4 if compressed >< padded bytes for signature R><padded bytes for signature S> where the R and S parameters are padde up to the bitlengh of the curve.
