util_verify

Verify a cryptographic signature

Behaviour

Verify a cryptographic signature

• If the public key is prefixed with 0xED then use ED25519

• Otherwise assume SECP256k1

Definition

C

int64_t util_verify (
    uint32_t dread_ptr,
    uint32_t dread_len,
    uint32_t sread_ptr,
    uint32_t sread_len,
    uint32_t kread_ptr,
    uint32_t kread_len
);

Javascript

function util_verify(
    signedData: ByteArray | HexString,
    signature: ByteArray | HexString,
    pubkey: ByteArray | HexString
  ): 0 | 1

Example

C

if (!util_verify(payload_ptr,    payload_len,
                 signature_ptr,  signature_len,
                 publickey_ptr,  publickey_len))
	rollback("Invalid Signature", 17, 60);

Javascript

if (util_verify(signedData,signature,pubkey))
    rollback("Invalid Signature", 60)

Parameters

C

Name	Type	Description
dread_ptr	uint32_t	Pointer to the signed data
dread_len	uint32_t	Length of the signed data
sread_ptr	uint32_t	Pointer to the signature
sread_len	uint32_t	Length of the signature
kread_ptr	uint32_t	Pointer to the public key
kread_len	uint32_t	Length of the public key

Javascript

Name	Type	Description
signedData	number / string	The signed data to verify, can be provided as an array of numbers or a string.
signature	number / string	The signature to verify, can be provided as an array of numbers or a string.
pubkey	number / string	The public key responsible for the signature, can be provided as an array of numbers or a string.

Return Code

C

Type	Description
int64_t	0 - validation failed, the signature is invalid. 1 - validation succeeded, the signature is valid. If negative, an error: OUT_OF_BOUNDS - pointers/lengths specified outside of hook memory.

Javascript

Type	Description
number	0 - validation failed, the signature is invalid. 1 - validation succeeded, the signature is valid.
