README
Information
This library is a rewrite/update of Matyas Danter's ECC library. All credit goes to him.
For more information on Elliptic Curve Cryptography please read this fine article.
The library supports the following curves:
- secp112r1
- secp256k1
- nistp192
- nistp224
- nistp256 / secg256r1
- nistp384 / secg384r1
- nistp521
The library exposes a class for random byte generation, for PHP7+ users is provided by random_bytes.
PHP5.6 users will use the paragonie/random_bytes polyfill.
During ECDSA, a random value k is required. It is acceptable to use a true RNG to generate this value, but
should the same k value ever be repeatedly used for a key, an attacker can recover that signing key.
The HMAC random generator can derive a deterministic k value from the message hash and private key, voiding
this concern.
The library uses a non-branching Montgomery ladder for scalar multiplication, as it's constant time and avoids secret dependant branches.
Compatibility notice:
A dependency used by this library in v0.4.x interacts with a newly reserved keyword in PHP 7.2. Therefore the library cannot be used on 7.2. For a PHP7.0+ branch, you should upgrade to v0.5.x
