dart-elliptic

In cryptography, the Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) offers a variant of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) which uses elliptic curve cryptography.

This lib mainly defines the abstract class Curve, serving Elliptic Curve which will be used in other packages like ecdsa, schnorr(WIP) and secp256k1 etc.

You can also get the key pairs on the curve, but if you need to signiture message, please use the signature util package, like ecdsa.

This package is pure dart and no 3rd dependency.

Usage

A simple usage example:

import 'package:elliptic/elliptic.dart';
import 'package:elliptic/ecdh.dart';

void main() {
  // use elliptic curves 
  var ec = getP256();
  var priv = ec.generatePrivateKey();
  var pub = priv.publicKey;
  print('privateKey: 0x$priv');
  print('publicKey: 0x$pub');

  // use ecdh
  var privateAlice = ec.generatePrivateKey();
  var publicAlice = privateAlice.publicKey;
  var privateBob = ec.generatePrivateKey();
  var publicBob = privateBob.publicKey;
  var secretAlice = computeSecretHex(privateAlice, publicBob);
  var secretBob = computeSecretHex(privateBob, publicAlice);
  print('secretAlice: 0x$secretAlice');
  print('secretBob: 0x$secretBob');
}

Libraries

ecdh

library ecdh, Elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) is a key agreement protocol that allows two parties, each having an elliptic-curve public–private key pair, to establish a shared secret over an insecure channel.

elliptic

library elliptic provides a simple interface to elliptic curve cryptography.
