We created the `crypto` crate as a container for cryptography modules
with the idea that it may be split out into a separate crate. There is
no reason for users of the lib to know about this module. Also, we have
two `taproot` modules, one in `crypto` and one at the crate root, this
makes for un-ergonomic usage of the lib.
Improve the public API by doing:
- Make the `crypto` module private (`pub(crate)`).
- Re-export `crypto::taproot::Signature` (and `Error`) from
`crate::taproot`
Currently we have an associated type on hash types `Inner` with
accompanying methods `into_inner`, `from_inner`, `as_inner`. Also, we
provide a way to create new wrapped hash types. The use of 'inner'
becomes ambiguous with the addition of wrapped types because the inner
could be the inner hash type or the `Inner` byte array of the inner
wrapped hash type.
In an effort to make the API more clear and uniform do the following:
- Rename `Inner` -> `Bytes`
- Rename `*_inner` -> `*_byte_array`
- Rename the inner hash to/from methods to `*_raw_hash`
Correct method prefix `into_` -> `to_` because theses methods convert
owned `Copy` types.
Add the trait Bound `Copy` to the `Bytes` type because we rely on this
trait bound for the conversion methods to be correctly named according
to convention.
Because of the dependency hole created by `secp256k1` this patch changes
the secp dependency to a git tag dependency that includes changes to the
hashes calls required so that we can get green lights on CI in this
repo.
Recently we used an error type that holds only one expected hex string
length when parsing but for `PublicKey`s we have two (66 and 130). Add a
new error variant to express the error. Requires adding a variant to
`bip32` for the same thing.
Fix: #1281
We can make the API more ergonomic by taking a generic argument that
implements `Into<secp256k1::PublicKey>` in the `bitcoin::PublicKey`
constructors.
The only thing than this is useful for is passing in `KeyPair` and the
`From` implementation already exists. Add a unit test to verify.
Fix: #1453
The `ToHex` trait was replaced by either simple `Display`/`LowerHex`
where appropriate or `DisplayHex` from `bitcoin_internals` which is
faster.
This change replaces the usages and removes the trait.
In preparation for removing the `util` module move the `base58` module
to the crate root. This is likely not the final resting place for this
module but it is a step in the right direction.
Includes addition of rustfmt attribute to skip formatting the digits
array. No other changes to the `base58` module.
Done as part of flattening util.
Currently in `util` module we have a bunch of modules that provide
cryptography related functionality.
Create a `crypto` module and move into it the following:
- ecdsa
- schnorr
- key
To improve uniformity and ergonomics, do the following re-names while we
are at it:
- EcdsaSig -> ecdsa::Signature
- SchnorrSig -> schnorr::Signature
- EcdsaSigError -> ecdsa::Error
- SchnorrSigError -> schnorr::Error
- InvalidSchnorrSigSize -> InvalidSignatureSize (this is an error enum variant)
