|
|
<HaltingState> is that how i generate private/public keys?
|
|
<sipa> HaltingState: you pass in a random 32-byte string as seckey
|
|
<sipa> HaltingState: if it is valid, the corresponding pubkey is put in pubkey
|
|
<sipa> and true is returned
|
|
<sipa> otherwise, false is returned
|
|
<sipa> around 1 in 2^128 32-byte strings are invalid, so the odds of even ever seeing one is extremely rare
|
|
|
|
<sipa> private keys are mathematically numbers
|
|
<sipa> each has a corresponding point on the curve as public key
|
|
<sipa> a private key is just a number
|
|
<sipa> a public key is a point with x/y coordinates
|
|
<sipa> almost every 256-bit number is a valid private key (one with a point on the curve corresponding to it)
|
|
<sipa> HaltingState: ok?
|
|
|
|
<sipa> more than half of random points are not on the curve
|
|
<sipa> and actually, it is less than the square root, not less than half, sorry :)
|
|
!!!
|
|
<sipa> a private key is a NUMBER
|
|
<sipa> a public key is a POINT
|
|
<gmaxwell> half the x,y values in the field are not on the curve, a private key is an integer.
|
|
|
|
<sipa> HaltingState: yes, n,q = private keys; N,Q = corresponding public keys (N=n*G, Q=q*G); then it follows that n*Q = n*q*G = q*n*G = q*N
|
|
<sipa> that's the reason ECDH works
|
|
<sipa> multiplication is associative and commutativ

|
|
<HaltingState> sipa, ok; i am doing compact signatures and I want to know; can someone change the signature to get another valid signature for same message without the private key
|
|
<HaltingState> because i know they can do that for the normal 72 byte signatures that openssl was putting out
|
|
<sipa> HaltingState: if you don't enforce non-malleability, yes
|
|
<sipa> HaltingState: if you force the highest bit of t
|
|
|
|
<sipa> it _creates_ signatures that already satisfy that condition
|
|
<sipa> but it will accept ones that don't
|
|
<sipa> maybe i should change that, and be strict
|
|
<HaltingState> yes; i want some way to know signature is valid but fails malleability
|
|
<sipa> well if the highest bit of S is 1, you can take its complement
|
|
<sipa> and end up with a valid signature
|
|
<sipa> that is canonical

|
|
|
|
Why did this work? ECDSA requires a random number for each signature. If this random
|
|
number is ever used twice with the same private key it can be recovered.
|
|
This transaction was generated by a hardware bitcoin wallet using a pseudo-random number
|
|
generator that was returning the same “random” number every time.
