btcec

Build Status ISC License GoDoc

Package btcec implements elliptic curve cryptography needed for working with Bitcoin (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 btcec was originally based on work from ThePiachu which is licensed under the same terms as Go, but it has signficantly diverged since then. The btcsuite developers original is licensed under the liberal ISC license.

Although this package was primarily written for btcd, 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/724165435/go-wallet-sdk/bitcoin/btcsuite/btcd/btcec

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.

GPG Verification Key

All official release tags are signed by Conformal so users can ensure the code has not been tampered with and is coming from the btcsuite developers. To verify the signature perform the following:

  • Download the public key from the Conformal website at https://opensource.conformal.com/GIT-GPG-KEY-conformal.txt

  • Import the public key into your GPG keyring:

    gpg --import GIT-GPG-KEY-conformal.txt
    
  • Verify the release tag with the following command where TAG_NAME is a placeholder for the specific tag:

    git tag -v TAG_NAME
    

License

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

Documentation

Overview

Package btcec implements support for the elliptic curves needed for bitcoin.

Bitcoin 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. It was designed for use with btcd, but should be general enough for other uses of elliptic curve crypto. It was originally based on some initial work by ThePiachu, but has significantly diverged since then.

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 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 Hash160

func Hash160(buf []byte) []byte

Hash160 calculates the hash ripemd160(sha256(b)).

func IsCompressedPubKey

func IsCompressedPubKey(pubKey []byte) bool

IsCompressedPubKey returns true the the passed serialized public key has been encoded in compressed format, and false otherwise.

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 PrivKeyFromBytes

func PrivKeyFromBytes(curve elliptic.Curve, 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 RawSigToSig

func RawSigToSig(sig []byte) ([]byte, error)

func SignCompact

func SignCompact(curve *KoblitzCurve, 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.

func SignCompactR1

func SignCompactR1(curve *KoblitzCurve, key *PrivateKey, hash []byte, isCompressedKey bool) ([]byte, error)

Types

type Address

type Address interface {
	// String returns the string encoding of the transaction output
	// destination.
	//
	// Please note that String differs subtly from EncodeAddress: String
	// will return the value as a string without any conversion, while
	// EncodeAddress may convert destination types (for example,
	// converting pubkeys to P2PKH addresses) before encoding as a
	// payment address string.
	String() string

	// EncodeAddress returns the string encoding of the payment address
	// associated with the Address value.  See the comment on String
	// for how this method differs from String.
	EncodeAddress() string

	// ScriptAddress returns the raw bytes of the address to be used
	// when inserting the address into a txout's script.
	ScriptAddress() []byte

	// IsForNet returns whether or not the address is associated with the
	// passed bitcoin network.
	IsForNet(*chaincfg.Params) bool
}

Address is an interface type for any type of destination a transaction output may spend to. This includes pay-to-pubkey (P2PK), pay-to-pubkey-hash (P2PKH), and pay-to-script-hash (P2SH). Address is designed to be generic enough that other kinds of addresses may be added in the future without changing the decoding and encoding API.

func DecodeAddress

func DecodeAddress(addr string, defaultNet *chaincfg.Params) (Address, error)

DecodeAddress decodes the string encoding of an address and returns the Address if addr is a valid encoding for a known address type.

The bitcoin network the address is associated with is extracted if possible. When the address does not encode the network, such as in the case of a raw public key, the address will be associated with the passed defaultNet.

type AddressPubKey

type AddressPubKey struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

AddressPubKey is an Address for a pay-to-pubkey transaction.

func NewAddressPubKey

At the time of this writing, most Bitcoin addresses are pay-to-pubkey-hash constructed from the uncompressed public key.

func (*AddressPubKey) EncodeAddress

func (a *AddressPubKey) EncodeAddress() string

EncodeAddress returns the string encoding of the public key as a pay-to-pubkey-hash. Note that the public key format (uncompressed, compressed, etc) will change the resulting address. This is expected since pay-to-pubkey-hash is a hash of the serialized public key which obviously differs with the format. At the time of this writing, most Bitcoin addresses are pay-to-pubkey-hash constructed from the uncompressed public key.
