* 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.
crypto
crypto is the cryptographic package adapted for Tendermint's uses
Importing it
To get the interfaces,
import "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/crypto"
For any specific algorithm, use its specific module e.g.
import "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/crypto/ed25519"
If you want to decode bytes into one of the types, but don't care about the specific algorithm, use
import "github.com/tendermint/tendermint/crypto/amino"
Binary encoding
For Binary encoding, please refer to the Tendermint encoding spec.
JSON Encoding
crypto .Bytes() uses Amino:binary encoding, but Amino:JSON is also supported.
Example Amino:JSON encodings:
