Functions

func CompressPubkey

func CompressPubkey(x, y *big.Int) []byte

CompressPubkey encodes a public key to 33-byte compressed format.

func DecompressPubkey

func DecompressPubkey(pubkey []byte) (x, y *big.Int)

DecompressPubkey parses a public key in the 33-byte compressed format. It returns non-nil coordinates if the public key is valid.

func RecoverPubkey

func RecoverPubkey(msg []byte, sig []byte) ([]byte, error)

RecoverPubkey returns the public key of the signer. msg must be the 32-byte hash of the message to be signed. sig must be a 65-byte compact ECDSA signature containing the recovery id as the last element.

func S256

func S256() elliptic.Curve

func Sign

func Sign(msg []byte, seckey []byte) ([]byte, error)

Sign creates a recoverable ECDSA signature. The produced signature is in the 65-byte [R || S || V] format where V is 0 or 1.

The caller is responsible for ensuring that msg cannot be chosen directly by an attacker. It is usually preferable to use a cryptographic hash function on any input before handing it to this function.

func VerifySignature

func VerifySignature(pubkey, msg, signature []byte) bool

VerifySignature checks that the given pubkey created signature over message. The signature should be in [R || S] format.
