§cashweb-secp256k1-sys FFI bindings
Direct bindings to the underlying C library functions. These should not be needed for most users.
Modules§
- FFI of the recovery module
Macros§
Structs§
- A Secp256k1 context, containing various precomputed values and such needed to do elliptic curve computations. If you create one of these with
secp256k1_context_create
you MUST destroy it withsecp256k1_context_destroy
, or else you will have a memory leak. - Library-internal representation of a Secp256k1 public key
- Library-internal representation of a Secp256k1 signature
Constants§
- Flag for keys to indicate compressed serialization format
- Flag for keys to indicate uncompressed serialization format
- Flag for context to enable no precomputation
- Flag for context to enable signing precomputation
- Flag for context to enable verification precomputation
Statics§
- Default ECDH hash function
Traits§
- A trait for producing pointers that will always be valid in C. (assuming NULL pointer is a valid no-op) Rust doesn’t promise what pointers does it give to ZST (https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/exotic-sizes.html#zero-sized-types-zsts) In case the type is empty this trait will give a NULL pointer, which should be handled in C.
Functions§
- A reimplementation of the C function
secp256k1_context_create
in rust. - A reimplementation of the C function
secp256k1_context_destroy
in rust. - This function is an override for the C function, this is the an edited version of the original description:

Type Aliases§
- Hash function to use to post-process an ECDH point to get a shared secret.
- A nonce generation function. Ordinary users of the library never need to see this type; only if you need to control nonce generation do you need to use it. I have deliberately made this hard to do: you have to write your own wrapper around the FFI functions to use it. And it’s an unsafe type. Nonces are generated deterministically by RFC6979 by default; there should be no need to ever change this.
- Same as secp256k1_nonce function with the exception of accepting an additional pubkey argument and not requiring an attempt argument. The pubkey argument can protect signature schemes with key-prefixed challenge hash inputs against reusing the nonce when signing with the wrong precomputed pubkey.
