◆ SignCompact()

bool CKey::SignCompact	(	const uint256 &	hash,
		std::vector< uint8_t > &	vchSig
	)		const

Create a compact ECDSA signature (65 bytes), which allows reconstructing the used public key.

The format is one header byte, followed by two times 32 bytes for the serialized r and s values. The header byte: 0x1B = first key with even y, 0x1C = first key with odd y, 0x1D = second key with even y, 0x1E = second key with odd y, add 0x04 for compressed keys.

		std::vector< uint8_t > &	vchSig,
		bool	grind = `true`,
		uint32_t	test_case = `0`
	)		const

Create a DER-serialized ECDSA signature.

The test_case parameter tweaks the deterministic nonce.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ VerifyPubKey()

bool CKey::VerifyPubKey ( const CPubKey & vchPubKey ) const

Verify thoroughly whether a private key and a public key match.

This is done using a different mechanism than just regenerating it. (An ECDSA signature is created then verified.)
