README

crypto

crypto is the cryptographic package adapted for Tendermint's uses

Importing it

To get the interfaces, import "github.com/dojimanetwork/dojimamint/crypto"

For any specific algorithm, use its specific module e.g. import "github.com/dojimanetwork/dojimamint/crypto/ed25519"

Binary encoding

For Binary encoding, please refer to the Tendermint encoding specification.

JSON Encoding

JSON encoding is done using tendermint's internal json encoder. For more information on JSON encoding, please refer to Tendermint JSON encoding

Example JSON encodings:

ed25519.PrivKey     - {"type":"tendermint/PrivKeyEd25519","value":"EVkqJO/jIXp3rkASXfh9YnyToYXRXhBr6g9cQVxPFnQBP/5povV4HTjvsy530kybxKHwEi85iU8YL0qQhSYVoQ=="}
ed25519.PubKey      - {"type":"tendermint/PubKeyEd25519","value":"AT/+aaL1eB0477Mud9JMm8Sh8BIvOYlPGC9KkIUmFaE="}
sr25519.PrivKeySr25519   - {"type":"tendermint/PrivKeySr25519","value":"xtYVH8UCIqfrY8FIFc0QEpAEBShSG4NT0zlEOVSZ2w4="}

Functions

func CRandBytes

func CRandBytes(numBytes int) []byte

This only uses the OS's randomness

func CRandHex

func CRandHex(numDigits int) string

CRandHex returns a hex encoded string that's floor(numDigits/2) * 2 long.

Note: CRandHex(24) gives 96 bits of randomness that are usually strong enough for most purposes.

func CReader

func CReader() io.Reader

Returns a crand.Reader.

func Sha256

func Sha256(bytes []byte) []byte

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/dojimanetwork/dojimamint/crypto"
)

func main() {
	sum := crypto.Sha256([]byte("This is Tendermint"))
	fmt.Printf("%x\n", sum)
}

Output:

Types

type Address

type Address = bytes.HexBytes

An address is a []byte, but hex-encoded even in JSON. []byte leaves us the option to change the address length. Use an alias so Unmarshal methods (with ptr receivers) are available too.

func AddressHash

func AddressHash(bz []byte) Address

type PrivKey

type PrivKey interface {
	Bytes() []byte
	Sign(msg []byte) ([]byte, error)
	PubKey() PubKey
	Equals(PrivKey) bool
	Type() string
}

type PubKey

type PubKey interface {
	Address() Address
	Bytes() []byte
	VerifySignature(msg []byte, sig []byte) bool
	Equals(PubKey) bool
	Type() string
}

type Symmetric

type Symmetric interface {
	Keygen() []byte
	Encrypt(plaintext []byte, secret []byte) (ciphertext []byte)
	Decrypt(ciphertext []byte, secret []byte) (plaintext []byte, err error)
}
