Class BIP340Signer

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.crypto.signers.BIP340Signer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Signer

public class BIP340Signer
extends Object
implements Signer

Schnorr signatures for secp256k1 per BIP-340 (with the BIP-340bis variable-length-message extension).

Public keys are the 32-byte big-endian X coordinate of the unique even-Y curve point with that X. Signatures are the fixed 64-byte concatenation bytes(R) || bytes(s) — neither encoding matches BC's ECDSA defaults.

Auxiliary randomness follows the usual BC low-level signer convention: the signer is randomized by default. A ParametersWithRandom on init(boolean, CipherParameters) supplies the source for the fresh 32-byte aux_rand drawn per generateSignature() call (BIP-340 §3.2, recommended for side-channel hardening); when none is supplied the default CryptoServicesRegistrar source is substituted, as for SM2Signer / ECDSASigner. Deterministic Schnorr (aux_rand = 0^32) is BIP-340 compliant but must be requested explicitly via BIP340Signer(boolean) — the absence of a supplied SecureRandom does not silently select it.

Constructors

Constructor	Description
BIP340Signer()	Create a randomized BIP-340 signer: a per-signature aux_rand is drawn from the supplied ParametersWithRandom source, or the default CryptoServicesRegistrar source when none is supplied.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static ECPublicKeyParameters	decodePublicKey(byte[] xOnly)	Lift a 32-byte x-only BIP-340 public key to an ECPublicKeyParameters carrying the unique even-Y secp256k1 point with that X.
byte[]	generateSignature()	generate a signature for the message we've been loaded with using the key we were initialised with.
static ECDomainParameters	getDomain()	secp256k1 domain parameters.
void	init(boolean forSigning, CipherParameters parameters)	Initialise the signer for signing or verification.
void	reset()	reset the internal state

Constructor Details

BIP340Signer

public BIP340Signer()

Create a randomized BIP-340 signer: a per-signature aux_rand is drawn from the supplied ParametersWithRandom source, or the default CryptoServicesRegistrar source when none is supplied.

BIP340Signer

public BIP340Signer(boolean deterministic)

Parameters:

deterministic - when true, sign deterministically with aux_rand = 0^32 (BIP-340 §3.3 default signing with empty auxiliary randomness) and ignore any supplied SecureRandom; when false (the usual case) draw a per-signature 32-byte aux_rand from the supplied or default SecureRandom.

Method Details

getDomain

public static ECDomainParameters getDomain()

secp256k1 domain parameters. Use to construct ECPrivateKeyParameters / call an ECKeyPairGenerator for BIP-340.

decodePublicKey

public static ECPublicKeyParameters decodePublicKey(byte[] xOnly)

Lift a 32-byte x-only BIP-340 public key to an ECPublicKeyParameters carrying the unique even-Y secp256k1 point with that X. Returns null for the cases BIP-340 §3.1 defines as verification failures: wrong length, X out of [0, p), or no curve point with that X.

init

public void init(boolean forSigning,
 CipherParameters parameters)

Description copied from interface: Signer

Initialise the signer for signing or verification.

Specified by:

init in interface Signer

Parameters:

forSigning - true if for signing, false otherwise

parameters - necessary parameters.

update

public void update(byte b)

Description copied from interface: Signer

update the internal digest with the byte b

Specified by:

update in interface Signer

update

public void update(byte[] in,
 int off,
 int len)

Description copied from interface: Signer

update the internal digest with the byte array in

Specified by:

update in interface Signer

generateSignature

public byte[] generateSignature()

Description copied from interface: Signer

generate a signature for the message we've been loaded with using the key we were initialised with.

Specified by:

generateSignature in interface Signer

verifySignature

public boolean verifySignature(byte[] signature)

Description copied from interface: Signer

return true if the internal state represents the signature described in the passed in array.

Specified by:

verifySignature in interface Signer

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from interface: Signer

reset the internal state

Specified by:

reset in interface Signer
