Package btcec implements support for the elliptic curves needed for bitcoin. |
|
|
|
Bitcoin uses elliptic curve cryptography using koblitz curves |
|
(specifically secp256k1) for cryptographic functions. See |
|
http://www.secg.org/collateral/sec2_final.pdf for details on the |
|
standard. |
|
|
|
This package provides the data structures and functions implementing the |
|
crypto/elliptic Curve interface in order to permit using these curves |
|
with the standard crypto/ecdsa package provided with go. Helper |
|
functionality is provided to parse signatures and public keys from |
|
standard formats. It was designed for use with btcd, but should be |
|
general enough for other uses of elliptic curve crypto. It was originally based |
|
on some initial work by ThePiachu, but has significantly diverged since then. |
