sigs

Documentation

Overview

Sigs package allows for signing, verifying signatures and key generation using key types selected by package user.

For support of secp256k1 import: _ "github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/lib/sigs/secp"

For support of Filecoin BLS import: _ "github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/lib/sigs/bls"

Functions

func CheckBlockSignature

func CheckBlockSignature(blk *types.BlockHeader, ctx context.Context, worker address.Address) error

func Generate

func Generate(sigType string) ([]byte, error)

Generate generates private key of given type

func RegisterSignature

func RegisterSignature(name string, vs SigShim)

RegisterSig should be only used during init

func Sign

func Sign(sigType string, privkey []byte, msg []byte) (*types.Signature, error)

Sign takes in signature type, private key and message. Returns a signature for that message. Valid sigTypes are: "secp256k1" and "bls"

func ToPublic

func ToPublic(sigType string, pk []byte) ([]byte, error)

ToPublic converts private key to public key

func Verify

func Verify(sig *types.Signature, addr address.Address, msg []byte) error

Verify verifies signatures

Types

type SigShim

type SigShim interface {
	GenPrivate() ([]byte, error)
	ToPublic(pk []byte) ([]byte, error)
	Sign(pk []byte, msg []byte) ([]byte, error)
	Verify(sig []byte, a address.Address, msg []byte) error
}

SigShim is used for introducing signature functions
