Crate bc_components

Introduction

A collection of useful primitives for cryptography, semantic graphs, and cryptocurrency, primarily for use in higher-level Blockchain Commons projects like Gordian Envelope. All the types are CBOR serializable, and a number of them can also be serialized to and from URs.

Also includes a library of CBOR tags and UR types for use with these types.

Getting Started

• EncryptedMessage
  A secure encrypted message.
• Nonce
  A random nonce (“number used once”).
• PrivateKeyBase
  Holds unique data from which keys for signing and encryption can be derived.
• PublicKeyBase
  Holds information used to communicate cryptographically with a remote entity.
• SSKRGroupSpec
  A specification for a group of shares within an SSKR split.
• SSKRSecret
  A secret to be split into shares.
• SSKRShare
  An SSKR share.
• SSKRSpec
  A specification for an SSKR split.
• Salt
  Random salt used to decorrelate other information.
• SchnorrPublicKey
  A Schnorr (x-only) elliptic curve public key.
• SealedMessage
  A sealed message can be sent to anyone, but only the intended recipient can decrypt it.
• Seed
• SigningPrivateKey
  A private ECDSA key for signing.
• SymmetricKey
  A symmetric encryption key.
• URI
  A URI.
• UUID
  A UUID.

Enums

• SSKRError
  Errors that can occur when using the SSKR library.
• Signature
  A cryptographic signature. Supports ECDSA and Schnorr.
• SigningPublicKey
  A public key that can be used for signing. Supports both ECDSA and Schnorr.

Traits

• DigestProvider
  A type that can provide a single unique digest that characterizes its contents.
• ECKey
  A type that represents an elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) key, and can be used to derive a public key.
• ECKeyBase
  A type that represents an elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) key.
• ECPublicKeyBase
  A type that can provide a single unique elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) uncompressed public key.
• PrivateKeyDataProvider
  Types can implement to PrivateKeyDataProvider to indicate that they will provide unique data from which keys for signing and encryption can be derived.

Functions

• sskr_combine
  Combines the given SSKR shares into a Secret.
• sskr_generate
  Generates SSKR shares for the given Spec and Secret.
• sskr_generate_using
  Generates SSKR shares for the given Spec and Secret using the provided random number generator.
