* crypto/secp256k1: Fix signature malleability, adopt more efficient encoding
This removes signature malleability per ADR 14, and makes secp match
the encoding in ADR 15.
* (squash this) add lock
* crypto/secp256k1: Add godocs, remove indirection in privkeys
The following was previously done for creating secp256k1 private keys:
First obtain privkey bytes. Then create a private key in the
underlying library, with scalar exponent equal to privKeyBytes.
(The method called was secp256k1.PrivKeyFromBytes,
fb90c334df/btcec/privkey.go (L21))
Then the private key was serialized using the underlying library, which just
returns back the bytes that comprised the scalar exponent, but padded to be
exactly 32 bytes.
fb90c334df/btcec/privkey.go (L70)
Thus the entire indirection of calling the underlying library can be avoided
by just ensuring that we pass in a 32 byte value. A test case has even be written
to show this more clearly in review.
* crypto/secp256k1: Address PR comments
Squash this commit
* crypto: Remove note about re-registering amino paths when unnecessary.
This commit should be squashed.
Currently the top level directory contains basically all of the code
for the crypto package. This PR moves the crypto code into submodules
in a similar manner to what `golang/x/crypto` does. This improves code
organization.
