Digital signature algorithm.

type priv

The type for private keys.

type pub

The type for public keys.

Serialisation

val priv_of_cstruct : Cstruct.t -> (priv, error) result

priv_of_cstruct cs decodes a private key from the buffer cs. If the provided data is invalid, an error is returned.

val priv_to_cstruct : priv -> Cstruct.t

priv_to_cstruct p encode the private key p to a buffer.

val pub_of_cstruct : Cstruct.t -> (pub, error) result

pub_of_cstruct cs decodes a public key from the buffer cs. If the provided data is invalid, an error is returned.

val pub_to_cstruct : pub -> Cstruct.t

pub_to_cstruct p encodes the public key p into a buffer.

Deriving the public key

val pub_of_priv : priv -> pub

pub_of_priv p extracts the public key from the private key p.

Key generation

val generate : ?g:Mirage_crypto_rng.g -> unit -> priv * pub

generate ~g () generates a key pair.

Cryptographic operations

val sign : key:priv -> ?k:Cstruct.t -> Cstruct.t -> Cstruct.t * Cstruct.t

sign ~key ~k digest signs the message digest using the private key. The digest is not processed further - it should be the hash of the message to sign. If k is not provided, it is computed using the deterministic construction from RFC 6979. The result is a pair of r and s.

raises Invalid_argument
if k is not suitable or not in range.

raises Message_too_long
if the bit size of msg exceeds the curve.

val verify : key:pub -> (Cstruct.t * Cstruct.t) -> Cstruct.t -> bool

verify ~key (r, s) digest verifies the signature r, s on the message digest with the public key. The return value is true if verification was successful, false otherwise. If the message has more bits than the group order, the result is false.

module K_gen (H : Mirage_crypto.Hash.S) : sig ... end

K_gen can be instantiated over a hashing module to obtain an RFC6979 compliant k-generator for that hash.
