Crate ffi

secp256k1-sys FFI bindings

Direct bindings to the underlying C library functions. These should not be needed for most users.

Modules

• recovery
  FFI of the recovery module
• types

Macros

• impl_array_newtype
• impl_raw_debug

Structs

• Context
  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 with secp256k1_context_destroy, or else you will have a memory leak.
• KeyPair
• PublicKey
  Library-internal representation of a Secp256k1 public key
• SchnorrSigExtraParams
  Data structure that contains additional arguments for schnorrsig_sign_custom.
• Signature
  Library-internal representation of a Secp256k1 signature
• XOnlyPublicKey

Constants

• SECP256K1_SER_COMPRESSED
  Flag for keys to indicate compressed serialization format
• SECP256K1_SER_UNCOMPRESSED
  Flag for keys to indicate uncompressed serialization format
• SECP256K1_START_NONE
  Flag for context to enable no precomputation
• SECP256K1_START_SIGN
  Flag for context to enable signing precomputation
• SECP256K1_START_VERIFY
  Flag for context to enable verification precomputation

Statics

• secp256k1_context_no_precomp
• secp256k1_ecdh_hash_function_default
  Default ECDH hash function
• secp256k1_nonce_function_bip340
• secp256k1_nonce_function_default
• secp256k1_nonce_function_rfc6979

Traits

• CPtr
  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.

Type Aliases

• EcdhHashFn
  Hash function to use to post-process an ECDH point to get a shared secret.
• NonceFn
  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.
• SchnorrNonceFn
  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.
