base58
base58 is a fast implementation of Base58 with resistance to side-channel attacks.

The performance of base58.VartimeEncode and base58.VartimeDecode is comparable to that of github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcutil/base58:

Besides, this package offers the constant-time version of these functions, namely base58.Encode and base58.Decode, which prevents side-channel attacks such as timing attacks.

Overview ¶
Package base58 handles encoding/decoding of Base58 (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding). This package provides functions that work constant-time, as well as their variable-time counterparts.

Functions ¶
func Decode ¶
Decode writes into output.
If the resulting integer doesn't fit in output, the higher part will be truncated.
This function runs in constant time.
func Encode ¶
Encode encodes a byte slice into a base58 string with length resultLength.
This function runs in constant time.
func VartimeDecode ¶
VartimeDecode writes into output.
If the resulting integer doesn't fit in output, the higher part will be truncated.
This function does not have a constant-time guarantee, but it is faster than Decode.
func VartimeEncode ¶
VartimeEncode encodes a byte slice into a base58 string with length resultLength.
This function does not have a constant-time guarantee.
