NAME

Steemit::ECDSA - perl library wich implements ecda helper methods used by the Steemit::WsClient distribution

SYNOPSIS

   use Steemit::ECDSA;

   my ( $r, $s, $i ) = Steemit::ECDSA::ecdsa_sign( $message, Math::BigInt->from_bytes( $plain_secret_key) );

   my $pubkey = Steemit::ECDSA::recoverPubKey($message, $r, $s, $i )

   Steemit::ECDSA::ecdsa_verify( $message, $pubkey, $r, $s) or die "invalid signature";

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

is_signature_canonical_canonical($binary_signature)

accepts a binary representation of ($i+27+4).$r.$s and will check for a canonical signature its internaly used and canonical signatures are important for security, and enforced by teh server

bytes_32_sha256 {

take a message and return the 32 most significant bytes from the scha256 hash

calcPubKeyRecoveryParam {

internaly used to determine the parameter that lets us recalculate the public key from the signature

recoverPubKey {

recover the signature

get_compressed_public_key {

transform the x and y based coordinates from a public key to only teh x and a parameter wich defines whether y is even or odd

get_recovery_factor {

get the parameter needed by the above method

point_from_x {

get the point on the curve wich coresponds to a point x and a recovery factor

recover_y {

get only the y coorinate of the point

get_public_key_point {

take a key and get the public key for it as point
