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/reapchain/reapchain-core/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)
}
