Make Cross-Compilable: Port PubKey Recovery to Go #5

Description

It's not Public Keys that are used as Addresses, but rather PubKeyHashes.

Since Go's standard library doesn't include a function to reverse a Message + Signature to a Public Key, it's not possible to verify a PubKeyHash against a signature natively in Go.

  • sha3 "golang.org/x/crypto/sha3"
  • sign
  • recover

However, it seems that the primarily function that's causing all of the headache with cross compilation has been written natively in C#, and would not be difficult to port to Go.

  public static ECPoint Recover(byte[] hash, byte[] sigBytes, int rec)
  {
    BigInteger r = new BigInteger(1, sigBytes, 0, 32);
    BigInteger s = new BigInteger(1, sigBytes, 32, 32);
    BigInteger[] sig = new BigInteger[]{ r, s };
    ECPoint Q = ECDSA_SIG_recover_key_GFp(sig, hash, rec, true);
    return Q;
  }

  public static ECPoint ECDSA_SIG_recover_key_GFp(BigInteger[] sig, byte[] hash, int recid, bool check)
  {
    X9ECParameters ecParams = Org.BouncyCastle.Asn1.Sec.SecNamedCurves.GetByName("secp256k1");
    int i = recid / 2;

    Console.WriteLine("r: "+ToHex(sig[0].ToByteArrayUnsigned()));
    Console.WriteLine("s: "+ToHex(sig[1].ToByteArrayUnsigned()));

    BigInteger order = ecParams.N;
    BigInteger field = (ecParams.Curve as FpCurve).Q;
    BigInteger x = order.Multiply(new BigInteger(i.ToString())).Add(sig[0]);
    if (x.CompareTo(field) >= 0) throw new Exception("X too large");

    Console.WriteLine("Order: "+ToHex(order.ToByteArrayUnsigned()));
    Console.WriteLine("Field: "+ToHex(field.ToByteArrayUnsigned()));

    byte[] compressedPoint = new Byte[x.ToByteArrayUnsigned().Length+1];
    compressedPoint[0] = (byte) (0x02+(recid%2));
    Buffer.BlockCopy(x.ToByteArrayUnsigned(), 0, compressedPoint, 1, compressedPoint.Length-1);
    ECPoint R = ecParams.Curve.DecodePoint(compressedPoint);

    Console.WriteLine("R: "+ToHex(R.GetEncoded()));

    if (check)
    {
      ECPoint O = R.Multiply(order);
      if (!O.IsInfinity) throw new Exception("Check failed");
    }

    int n = (ecParams.Curve as FpCurve).Q.ToByteArrayUnsigned().Length*8;
    BigInteger e = new BigInteger(1, hash);
    if (8*hash.Length > n)
    {
      e = e.ShiftRight(8-(n & 7));
    }
    e = BigInteger.Zero.Subtract(e).Mod(order);
    BigInteger rr = sig[0].ModInverse(order);
    BigInteger sor = sig[1].Multiply(rr).Mod(order);
    BigInteger eor = e.Multiply(rr).Mod(order);
    ECPoint Q = ecParams.G.Multiply(eor).Add(R.Multiply(sor));

    Console.WriteLine("n: "+n);
    Console.WriteLine("e: "+ToHex(e.ToByteArrayUnsigned()));
    Console.WriteLine("rr: "+ToHex(rr.ToByteArrayUnsigned()));
    Console.WriteLine("sor: "+ToHex(sor.ToByteArrayUnsigned()));
    Console.WriteLine("eor: "+ToHex(eor.ToByteArrayUnsigned()));
    Console.WriteLine("Q: "+ToHex(Q.GetEncoded()));

    return Q;
  }
