@gotocva/digital-signature v1.0.0

@gotocva/digital-signature

A lightweight and efficient library for generating and managing digital signatures using elliptic curve cryptography (secp256k1). Perfect for blockchain and cryptographic applications.

Installation

To install the package, use npm:

npm install @gotocva/digital-signature

Usage

Importing the Library

const DigitalSignature = require('@gotocva/digital-signature');

// Create an instance of the DigitalSignature class
const ds = new DigitalSignature();

API Methods

1. generateWallet()

Generates a new wallet with a public and private key pair.

const wallet = ds.generateWallet();
console.log('Public Key:', wallet.publicKey);
console.log('Private Key:', wallet.privateKey);

2. checkPublicKeyValid(publicKey)

Validates whether a given public key is valid.

const publicKey = wallet.publicKey;
const result = ds.checkPublicKeyValid(publicKey);
console.log('Is Public Key Valid:', result.valid);

3. signData(privateKey, data)

Signs a piece of data using the provided private key.

const privateKey = wallet.privateKey;
const data = 'Hello, Digital Signature!';
const signedData = ds.signData(privateKey, data);
console.log('Signed Data:', signedData);

4. verifySignature(publicKey, data, signature)

Verifies the authenticity of a signature using the public key and original data.

const isValid = ds.verifySignature(
  wallet.publicKey,
  'Hello, Digital Signature!',
  signedData.signature
);

console.log('Is Signature Valid:', isValid.is_verified);

Example Workflow

const DigitalSignature = require('@gotocva/digital-signature');
const ds = new DigitalSignature();

// Step 1: Generate a new wallet
const wallet = ds.generateWallet();
console.log('Public Key:', wallet.publicKey);
console.log('Private Key:', wallet.privateKey);

// Step 2: Sign some data
const data = 'Blockchain is amazing!';
const signedData = ds.signData(wallet.privateKey, data);
console.log('Signed Data:', signedData);

// Step 3: Verify the signature
const isVerified = ds.verifySignature(wallet.publicKey, data, signedData.signature);
console.log('Is Signature Valid:', isVerified.is_verified);
