func (e Error) Error() string

Error satisfies the error interface and prints human-readable errors.

func (Error) Unwrap 

func (e Error) Unwrap() error

Unwrap returns the underlying wrapped error.

Error satisfies the error interface and prints human-readable errors.

type FieldVal 

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

FieldVal implements optimized fixed-precision arithmetic over the secp256k1 finite field. This means all arithmetic is performed modulo 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffefffffc2f.

WARNING: Since it is so important for the field arithmetic to be extremely fast for high performance crypto, this type does not perform any validation of documented preconditions where it ordinarily would. As a result, it is IMPERATIVE for callers to understand some key concepts that are described below and ensure the methods are called with the necessary preconditions that each method is documented with. For example, some methods only give the correct result if the field value is normalized and others require the field values involved to have a maximum magnitude and THERE ARE NO EXPLICIT CHECKS TO ENSURE THOSE PRECONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED. This does, unfortunately, make the type more difficult to use correctly and while I typically prefer to ensure all state and input is valid for most code, this is a bit of an exception because those extra checks really add up in what ends up being critical hot paths.

The first key concept when working with this type is normalization. In order to avoid the need to propagate a ton of carries, the internal representation provides additional overflow bits for each word of the overall 256-bit value. This means that there are multiple internal representations for the same value and, as a result, any methods that rely on comparison of the value, such as equality and oddness determination, require the caller to provide a normalized value.

The second key concept when working with this type is magnitude. As previously mentioned, the internal representation provides additional overflow bits which means that the more math operations that are performed on the field value between normalizations, the more those overflow bits accumulate. The magnitude is effectively that maximum possible number of those overflow bits that could possibly be required as a result of a given operation. Since there are only a limited number of overflow bits available, this implies that the max possible magnitude MUST be tracked by the caller and the caller MUST normalize the field value if a given operation would cause the magnitude of the result to exceed the max allowed value.

IMPORTANT: The max allowed magnitude of a field value is 64.

Preconditions:

  • The field value magnitude multiplied by given val MUST be a max of 64

func (*FieldVal) Negate 

func (f *FieldVal) Negate(magnitude uint32) *FieldVal

Negate negates the field value in constant time. The existing field value is modified. The caller must provide the magnitude of the field value for a correct result.

func (f *FieldVal) PutBytes(b *[32]byte)

PutBytes unpacks the field value to a 32-byte big-endian value using the passed byte array in constant time.

There is a similar function, PutBytesUnchecked, which unpacks the field value into a slice that must have at least 32 bytes available. This version is provided since it can be useful to write directly into an array that is type checked.

Alternatively, there is also Bytes, which unpacks the field value into a new array and returns that which can sometimes be more ergonomic in applications that aren't concerned about an additional copy.

Preconditions:

  • The field value MUST be normalized

func (*FieldVal) PutBytesUnchecked 

func (f *FieldVal) PutBytesUnchecked(b []byte)

PutBytesUnchecked unpacks the field value to a 32-byte big-endian value directly into the passed byte slice in constant time. The target slice must must have at least 32 bytes available or it will panic.

func (*FieldVal) SetByteSlice 

func (f *FieldVal) SetByteSlice(b []byte) bool

SetByteSlice interprets the provided slice as a 256-bit big-endian unsigned integer (meaning it is truncated to the first 32 bytes), packs it into the internal field value representation, and returns whether or not the resulting truncated 256-bit integer is greater than or equal to the field prime (aka it overflowed) in constant time.

Note that since passing a slice with more than 32 bytes is truncated, it is possible that the truncated value is less than the field prime and hence it will not be reported as having overflowed in that case. It is up to the caller to decide whether it needs to provide numbers of the appropriate size or it if is acceptable to use this function with the described truncation and overflow behavior.

Preconditions: None Output Normalized: Yes if no overflow, no otherwise Output Max Magnitude: 1

func (*FieldVal) SetBytes 

func (f *FieldVal) SetBytes(b *[32]byte) uint32

Note that a bool is not used here because it is not possible in Go to convert from a bool to numeric value in constant time and many constant-time operations require a numeric value.

Preconditions: None Output Normalized: Yes if no overflow, no otherwise Output Max Magnitude: 1

func (*FieldVal) SetInt 

func (f *FieldVal) SetInt(ui uint16) *FieldVal

func (*FieldVal) Square 

func (f *FieldVal) Square() *FieldVal

The field value is returned to support chaining. This enables syntax like: f.Square().Mul(f2) so that f = f^2 * f2.

Preconditions:

  • The field value MUST have a max magnitude of 8

Output Normalized: No Output Max Magnitude: 1

func (*FieldVal) SquareRootVal 

func (f *FieldVal) SquareRootVal(val *FieldVal) bool

SquareRootVal either calculates the square root of the passed value when it exists or the square root of the negation of the value when it does not exist and stores the result in f in constant time. The return flag is true when the calculated square root is for the passed value itself and false when it is for its negation.

Note that this function can overflow if multiplying any of the individual words exceeds a max uint32. In practice, this means the magnitude of the field must be a max of 8 to prevent overflow. The magnitude of the result will be 1.

This is part of the elliptic.Curve interface implementation.

func (curve *KoblitzCurve) Double(x1, y1 *big.Int) (*big.Int, *big.Int)

Double returns 2*(x1,y1).

This is part of the elliptic.Curve interface implementation.

func (*KoblitzCurve) IsOnCurve 

func (curve *KoblitzCurve) IsOnCurve(x, y *big.Int) bool

IsOnCurve returns whether or not the affine point (x,y) is on the curve.

This is part of the elliptic.Curve interface implementation. This function differs from the crypto/elliptic algorithm since a = 0 not -3.

func (*KoblitzCurve) Params 

func (curve *KoblitzCurve) Params() *elliptic.CurveParams

Params returns the parameters for the curve.

This is part of the elliptic.Curve interface implementation.

func (*KoblitzCurve) ScalarBaseMult

type ModNScalar 

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

ModNScalar implements optimized 256-bit constant-time fixed-precision arithmetic over the secp256k1 group order. This means all arithmetic is performed modulo: 

0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141

It only implements the arithmetic needed for elliptic curve operations, however, the operations that are not implemented can typically be worked around if absolutely needed. For example, subtraction can be performed by adding the negation.

Should it be absolutely necessary, conversion to the standard library math/big.Int can be accomplished by using the Bytes method, slicing the resulting fixed-size array, and feeding it to big.Int.SetBytes. However, that should typically be avoided when possible as conversion to big.Ints requires allocations, is not constant time, and is slower when working modulo the group order.

func NonceRFC6979 

func NonceRFC6979(privKey []byte, hash []byte, extra []byte, version []byte, extraIterations uint32) *ModNScalar

NonceRFC6979 generates a nonce deterministically according to RFC 6979 using HMAC-SHA256 for the hashing function. It takes a 32-byte hash as an input and returns a 32-byte nonce to be used for deterministic signing. The extra and version arguments are optional, but allow additional data to be added to the input of the HMAC. When provided, the extra data must be 32-bytes and version must be 16 bytes or they will be ignored.

Finally, the extraIterations parameter provides a method to produce a stream of deterministic nonces to ensure the signing code is able to produce a nonce that results in a valid signature in the extremely unlikely event the original nonce produced results in an invalid signature (e.g. R == 0). Signing code should start with 0 and increment it if necessary.

See PutBytes and PutBytesUnchecked for variants that allow an array or slice to be passed which can be useful to cut down on the number of allocations by allowing the caller to reuse a buffer or write directly into part of a larger buffer.

func (s *ModNScalar) Equals(val *ModNScalar) bool

Equals returns whether or not the two scalars are the same in constant time.

func (*ModNScalar) InverseValNonConst 

func (s *ModNScalar) InverseValNonConst(val *ModNScalar) *ModNScalar

InverseValNonConst finds the modular multiplicative inverse of the passed scalar and stores result in s in *non-constant* time.

The scalar is returned to support chaining. This enables syntax like: s3.InverseVal(s1).Mul(s2) so that s3 = s1^-1 * s2.

func (*ModNScalar) Mul 

func (s *ModNScalar) Mul(val *ModNScalar) *ModNScalar

Mul multiplies the passed scalar with the existing one modulo the group order in constant time and stores the result in s.

The scalar is returned to support chaining. This enables syntax like: s.Mul(s2).AddInt(1) so that s = (s * s2) + 1.

func (*ModNScalar) Mul2 

func (s *ModNScalar) Mul2(val, val2 *ModNScalar) *ModNScalar

Mul2 multiplies the passed two scalars together modulo the group order in constant time and stores the result in s.

The scalar is returned to support chaining. This enables syntax like: s3.Mul2(s, s2).AddInt(1) so that s3 = (s * s2) + 1.

func (*ModNScalar) Negate 

func (s *ModNScalar) Negate() *ModNScalar

Negate negates the scalar modulo the group order in constant time. The existing scalar is modified.

The scalar is returned to support chaining. This enables syntax like: s.Negate().AddInt(1) so that s = -s + 1.

func (*ModNScalar) NegateVal 

func (s *ModNScalar) NegateVal(val *ModNScalar) *ModNScalar

NegateVal negates the passed scalar modulo the group order and stores the result in s in constant time.

func (*ModNScalar) PutBytes 

func (s *ModNScalar) PutBytes(b *[32]byte)

PutBytes unpacks the scalar to a 32-byte big-endian value using the passed byte array in constant time.

There is a similar function, PutBytesUnchecked, which unpacks the scalar into a slice that must have at least 32 bytes available. This version is provided since it can be useful to write directly into an array that is type checked.

Alternatively, there is also Bytes, which unpacks the scalar into a new array and returns that which can sometimes be more ergonomic in applications that aren't concerned about an additional copy.

func (*ModNScalar) PutBytesUnchecked 

func (s *ModNScalar) PutBytesUnchecked(b []byte)

PutBytesUnchecked unpacks the scalar to a 32-byte big-endian value directly into the passed byte slice in constant time. The target slice must must have at least 32 bytes available or it will panic.

There is a similar function, PutBytes, which unpacks the scalar into a 32-byte array directly. This version is provided since it can be useful to write directly into part of a larger buffer without needing a separate allocation.

Preconditions:

  • The target slice MUST have at least 32 bytes available

func (*ModNScalar) Set 

func (s *ModNScalar) Set(val *ModNScalar) *ModNScalar

Set sets the scalar equal to a copy of the passed one in constant time.

The scalar is returned to support chaining. This enables syntax like: s := new(ModNScalar).Set(s2).Add(1) so that s = s2 + 1 where s2 is not modified.

func (*ModNScalar) SetByteSlice 

func (s *ModNScalar) SetByteSlice(b []byte) bool

SetByteSlice interprets the provided slice as a 256-bit big-endian unsigned integer (meaning it is truncated to the first 32 bytes), reduces it modulo the group order, sets the scalar to the result, and returns whether or not the resulting truncated 256-bit integer overflowed in constant time.

Note that since passing a slice with more than 32 bytes is truncated, it is possible that the truncated value is less than the order of the curve and hence it will not be reported as having overflowed in that case. It is up to the caller to decide whether it needs to provide numbers of the appropriate size or it is acceptable to use this function with the described truncation and overflow behavior.

func (*ModNScalar) SetBytes 

func (s *ModNScalar) SetBytes(b *[32]byte) uint32

SetBytes interprets the provided array as a 256-bit big-endian unsigned integer, reduces it modulo the group order, sets the scalar to the result, and returns either 1 if it was reduced (aka it overflowed) or 0 otherwise in constant time.

Note that a bool is not used here because it is not possible in Go to convert from a bool to numeric value in constant time and many constant-time operations require a numeric value.

func (*ModNScalar) SetInt 

func (s *ModNScalar) SetInt(ui uint32) *ModNScalar

SetInt sets the scalar to the passed integer in constant time. This is a convenience function since it is fairly common to perform some arithmetic with small native integers.

The scalar is returned to support chaining. This enables syntax like: s := new(ModNScalar).SetInt(2).Mul(s2) so that s = 2 * s2.

func (*ModNScalar) Square 

func (s *ModNScalar) Square() *ModNScalar

Square squares the scalar modulo the group order in constant time. The existing scalar is modified.

The scalar is returned to support chaining. This enables syntax like: s.Square().Mul(s2) so that s = s^2 * s2.

func (*ModNScalar) SquareVal 

func (s *ModNScalar) SquareVal(val *ModNScalar) *ModNScalar

SquareVal squares the passed scalar modulo the group order in constant time and stores the result in s.

The scalar is returned to support chaining. This enables syntax like: s3.SquareVal(s).Mul(s) so that s3 = s^2 * s = s^3.

func (ModNScalar) String 

func (s ModNScalar) String() string

String returns the scalar as a human-readable hex string.

This is NOT constant time.

func (*ModNScalar) Zero 

func (s *ModNScalar) Zero()

Zero sets the scalar to zero in constant time. A newly created scalar is already set to zero. This function can be useful to clear an existing scalar for reuse.

type PrivateKey 

type PrivateKey struct {
	Key ModNScalar
}

PrivateKey provides facilities for working with secp256k1 private keys within this package and includes functionality such as serializing and parsing them as well as computing their associated public key.

func GeneratePrivateKey 

func GeneratePrivateKey() (*PrivateKey, error)

GeneratePrivateKey returns a private key that is suitable for use with secp256k1.

func NewPrivateKey 

func NewPrivateKey(key *ModNScalar) *PrivateKey

NewPrivateKey instantiates a new private key from a scalar encoded as a big integer.

func PrivKeyFromBytes 

func PrivKeyFromBytes(privKeyBytes []byte) *PrivateKey

PrivKeyFromBytes returns a private based on the provided byte slice which is interpreted as an unsigned 256-bit big-endian integer in the range [0, N-1], where N is the order of the curve.

Note that this means passing a slice with more than 32 bytes is truncated and that truncated value is reduced modulo N. It is up to the caller to either provide a value in the appropriate range or choose to accept the described behavior.

Typically callers should simply make use of GeneratePrivateKey when creating private keys which properly handles generation of appropriate values.

func (*PrivateKey) PubKey 

func (p *PrivateKey) PubKey() *PublicKey

PubKey computes and returns the public key corresponding to this private key.

func (PrivateKey) Serialize 

func (p PrivateKey) Serialize() []byte

Serialize returns the private key as a 256-bit big-endian binary-encoded number, padded to a length of 32 bytes.

func (*PrivateKey) ToECDSA 

func (p *PrivateKey) ToECDSA() *ecdsa.PrivateKey

ToECDSA returns the private key as a *ecdsa.PrivateKey.

func (*PrivateKey) Zero 

func (p *PrivateKey) Zero()

Zero manually clears the memory associated with the private key. This can be used to explicitly clear key material from memory for enhanced security against memory scraping.

type PublicKey 

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

PublicKey provides facilities for efficiently working with secp256k1 public keys within this package and includes functions to serialize in both uncompressed and compressed SEC (Standards for Efficient Cryptography) formats.

func NewPublicKey 

func NewPublicKey(x, y *FieldVal) *PublicKey

NewPublicKey instantiates a new public key with the given x and y coordinates.

It should be noted that, unlike ParsePubKey, since this accepts arbitrary x and y coordinates, it allows creation of public keys that are not valid points on the secp256k1 curve. The IsOnCurve method of the returned instance can be used to determine validity.

func ParsePubKey 

func ParsePubKey(serialized []byte) (key *PublicKey, err error)

ParsePubKey parses a secp256k1 public key encoded according to the format specified by ANSI X9.62-1998, which means it is also compatible with the SEC (Standards for Efficient Cryptography) specification which is a subset of the former. In other words, it supports the uncompressed, compressed, and hybrid formats as follows:

Compressed: 

<format byte = 0x02/0x03><32-byte X coordinate>

Uncompressed: 

<format byte = 0x04><32-byte X coordinate><32-byte Y coordinate>

Hybrid: 

<format byte = 0x05/0x06><32-byte X coordinate><32-byte Y coordinate>

NOTE: The hybrid format makes little sense in practice an therefore this package will not produce public keys serialized in this format. However, this function will properly parse them since they exist in the wild.

func (*PublicKey) AsJacobian 

func (p *PublicKey) AsJacobian(result *JacobianPoint)

AsJacobian converts the public key into a Jacobian point with Z=1 and stores the result in the provided result param. This allows the public key to be treated a Jacobian point in the secp256k1 group in calculations.

func (*PublicKey) IsEqual 

func (p *PublicKey) IsEqual(otherPubKey *PublicKey) bool

IsEqual compares this PublicKey instance to the one passed, returning true if both PublicKeys are equivalent. A PublicKey is equivalent to another, if they both have the same X and Y coordinate.
