Copy a secp256k1 context object into caller-provided memory.

The caller must provide a pointer to a rewritable contiguous block of memory of size at least secp256k1_context_preallocated_size(flags) bytes, suitably aligned to hold an object of any type.

◆ secp256k1_context_preallocated_create()

secp256k1_context* secp256k1_context_preallocated_create ( void *  prealloc,
unsigned int  flags 
)

Create a secp256k1 context object in caller-provided memory.

The caller must provide a pointer to a rewritable contiguous block of memory of size at least secp256k1_context_preallocated_size(flags) bytes, suitably aligned to hold an object of any type.

The block of memory is exclusively owned by the created context object during the lifetime of this context object, which begins with the call to this function and ends when a call to secp256k1_context_preallocated_destroy (which destroys the context object again) returns. During the lifetime of the context object, the caller is obligated not to access this block of memory, i.e., the caller may not read or write the memory, e.g., by copying the memory contents to a different location or trying to create a second context object in the memory. In simpler words, the prealloc pointer (or any pointer derived from it) should not be used during the lifetime of the context object.

Returns: a newly created context object. In: prealloc: a pointer to a rewritable contiguous block of memory of size at least secp256k1_context_preallocated_size(flags) bytes, as detailed above (cannot be NULL) flags: which parts of the context to initialize.

◆ secp256k1_context_preallocated_destroy()

void secp256k1_context_preallocated_destroy ( secp256k1_context ctx)

Destroy a secp256k1 context object that has been created in caller-provided memory.

The context pointer may not be used afterwards.

The context to destroy must have been created using secp256k1_context_preallocated_create or secp256k1_context_preallocated_clone. If the context has instead been created using secp256k1_context_create or secp256k1_context_clone, the behaviour is undefined. In that case, secp256k1_context_destroy must be used instead.

If required, it is the responsibility of the caller to deallocate the block of memory properly after this function returns, e.g., by calling free on the preallocated pointer given to secp256k1_context_preallocated_create or secp256k1_context_preallocated_clone.

int secp256k1_context_randomize ( secp256k1_context ctx,

Returns: 1: randomization successfully updated or nothing to randomize 0: error Args: ctx: pointer to a context object (cannot be NULL) In: seed32: pointer to a 32-byte random seed (NULL resets to initial state)

While secp256k1 code is written to be constant-time no matter what secret values are, it's possible that a future compiler may output code which isn't, and also that the CPU may not emit the same radio frequencies or draw the same amount power for all values.

This function provides a seed which is combined into the blinding value: that blinding value is added before each multiplication (and removed afterwards) so that it does not affect function results, but shields against attacks which rely on any input-dependent behaviour.

This function has currently an effect only on contexts initialized for signing because randomization is currently used only for signing. However, this is not guaranteed and may change in the future. It is safe to call this function on contexts not initialized for signing; then it will have no effect and return 1.

You should call this after secp256k1_context_create or secp256k1_context_clone (and secp256k1_context_preallocated_create or secp256k1_context_clone, resp.), and you may call this repeatedly afterwards.

void secp256k1_context_set_error_callback ( secp256k1_context ctx,
void(*)(const char *message, void *data)  fun,
const void *  data 
)

Set a callback function to be called when an internal consistency check fails.

The default is crashing.

This can only trigger in case of a hardware failure, miscompilation, memory corruption, serious bug in the library, or other error would can otherwise result in undefined behaviour. It will not trigger due to mere incorrect usage of the API (see secp256k1_context_set_illegal_callback for that). After this callback returns, anything may happen, including crashing.

Args: ctx: an existing context object (cannot be NULL) In: fun: a pointer to a function to call when an internal error occurs, taking a message and an opaque pointer (NULL restores the default handler, see secp256k1_context_set_illegal_callback for details). data: the opaque pointer to pass to fun above.

void secp256k1_context_set_illegal_callback ( secp256k1_context ctx,
void(*)(const char *message, void *data)  fun,
const void *  data 
)

Set a callback function to be called when an illegal argument is passed to an API call.

It will only trigger for violations that are mentioned explicitly in the header.

The philosophy is that these shouldn't be dealt with through a specific return value, as calling code should not have branches to deal with the case that this code itself is broken.

On the other hand, during debug stage, one would want to be informed about such mistakes, and the default (crashing) may be inadvisable. When this callback is triggered, the API function called is guaranteed not to cause a crash, though its return value and output arguments are undefined.

When this function has not been called (or called with fn==NULL), then the default handler will be used. The library provides a default handler which writes the message to stderr and calls abort. This default handler can be replaced at link time if the preprocessor macro USE_EXTERNAL_DEFAULT_CALLBACKS is defined, which is the case if the build has been configured with –enable-external-default-callbacks. Then the following two symbols must be provided to link against:

Args: ctx: an existing context object (cannot be NULL) In: fun: a pointer to a function to call when an illegal argument is passed to the API, taking a message and an opaque pointer. (NULL restores the default handler.) data: the opaque pointer to pass to fun above.

const secp256k1_ecdsa_signature sigin 
)

Convert a signature to a normalized lower-S form.

Returns: 1 if sigin was not normalized, 0 if it already was. Args: ctx: a secp256k1 context object Out: sigout: a pointer to a signature to fill with the normalized form, or copy if the input was already normalized. (can be NULL if you're only interested in whether the input was already normalized). In: sigin: a pointer to a signature to check/normalize (cannot be NULL, can be identical to sigout)

With ECDSA a third-party can forge a second distinct signature of the same message, given a single initial signature, but without knowing the key. This is done by negating the S value modulo the order of the curve, 'flipping' the sign of the random point R which is not included in the signature.

Forgery of the same message isn't universally problematic, but in systems where message malleability or uniqueness of signatures is important this can cause issues. This forgery can be blocked by all verifiers forcing signers to use a normalized form.

The lower-S form reduces the size of signatures slightly on average when variable length encodings (such as DER) are used and is cheap to verify, making it a good choice. Security of always using lower-S is assured because anyone can trivially modify a signature after the fact to enforce this property anyway.

The lower S value is always between 0x1 and 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF5D576E7357A4501DDFE92F46681B20A0, inclusive.

No other forms of ECDSA malleability are known and none seem likely, but there is no formal proof that ECDSA, even with this additional restriction, is free of other malleability. Commonly used serialization schemes will also accept various non-unique encodings, so care should be taken when this property is required for an application.

The secp256k1_ecdsa_sign function will by default create signatures in the lower-S form, and secp256k1_ecdsa_verify will not accept others. In case signatures come from a system that cannot enforce this property, secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_normalize must be called before verification.

Parse an ECDSA signature in compact (64 bytes) format.

Returns: 1 when the signature could be parsed, 0 otherwise. Args: ctx: a secp256k1 context object Out: sig: a pointer to a signature object In: input64: a pointer to the 64-byte array to parse

The signature must consist of a 32-byte big endian R value, followed by a 32-byte big endian S value. If R or S fall outside of [0..order-1], the encoding is invalid. R and S with value 0 are allowed in the encoding.

After the call, sig will always be initialized. If parsing failed or R or S are zero, the resulting sig value is guaranteed to fail validation for any message and public key.

This function will accept any valid DER encoded signature, even if the encoded numbers are out of range.

After the call, sig will always be initialized. If parsing failed or the encoded numbers are out of range, signature validation with it is guaranteed to fail for every message and public key.

In: sig: the signature being verified (cannot be NULL) msghash32: the 32-byte message hash being verified (cannot be NULL).

To avoid accepting malleable signatures, only ECDSA signatures in lower-S form are accepted.

If you need to accept ECDSA signatures from sources that do not obey this rule, apply secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_normalize to the signature prior to validation, but be aware that doing so results in malleable signatures.
