<HaltingState> is that how i generate private/public keys?
<sipa> HaltingState: you pass in a random 32-byte string as seckey
<sipa> HaltingState: if it is valid, the corresponding pubkey is put in pubkey
<sipa> and true is returned
<sipa> otherwise, false is returned
<sipa> around 1 in 2^128 32-byte strings are invalid, so the odds of even ever seeing one is extremely rare

<sipa> private keys are mathematically numbers
<sipa> each has a corresponding point on the curve as public key
<sipa> a private key is just a number
<sipa> a public key is a point with x/y coordinates
<sipa> almost every 256-bit number is a valid private key (one with a point on the curve corresponding to it)
<sipa> HaltingState: ok?

<sipa> more than half of random points are not on the curve
<sipa> and actually, it is less than  the square root, not less than half, sorry :)
!!!
<sipa> a private key is a NUMBER
<sipa> a public key is a POINT
<gmaxwell> half the x,y values in the field are not on the curve, a private key is an integer.

<sipa> HaltingState: yes, n,q = private keys; N,Q = corresponding public keys (N=n*G, Q=q*G); then it follows that n*Q = n*q*G = q*n*G = q*N
<sipa> that's the reason ECDH works
<sipa> multiplication is associative and commutativ

/*
<HaltingState> sipa, ok; i am doing compact signatures and I want to know; can someone change the signature to get another valid signature for same message without the private key
<HaltingState> because i know they can do that for the normal 72 byte signatures that openssl was putting out
<sipa> HaltingState: if you don't enforce non-malleability, yes
<sipa> HaltingState: if you force the highest bit of t

<sipa> it _creates_ signatures that already satisfy that condition
<sipa> but it will accept ones that don't
<sipa> maybe i should change that, and be strict
<HaltingState> yes; i want some way to know signature is valid but fails malleability
<sipa> well if the highest bit of S is 1, you can take its complement
<sipa> and end up with a valid signature
<sipa> that is canonical

/*

<HaltingState> sipa, I am signing messages and highest bit of the compact signature is 1!!!
<HaltingState>  if (b & 0x80) == 0x80 {
<HaltingState>   log.Panic("b= %v b2= %v \n", b, b&0x80)
<HaltingState>  }
<sipa> what bit?
* Pengoo has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
<HaltingState> the highest bit of the first byte of signature
<sipa> it's the highest bit of S
<sipa> so the 32nd byte
<HaltingState> wtf

<HaltingState> i am yelling at the telehash people for using secp256r1
instead of secp256k1; they thing r1 is "more secure" despite fact that
there is no implementation that works and wrapping it is now taking
up massive time, lol

<gmaxwell> You know that the *r curves are selected via an undisclosed
secret process, right?

http://www.nilsschneider.net/2013/01/28/recovering-bitcoin-private-keys.html

Why did this work? ECDSA requires a random number for each signature. If this random
number is ever used twice with the same private key it can be recovered.
This transaction was generated by a hardware bitcoin wallet using a pseudo-random number
generator that was returning the same “random” number every time.

Nonce is 32 bytes?
