The method `negate_assign` (on pub/sec key) is cumbersome to use because
a local variable that uses these methods changes meaning but keeps the
same identifier. It would be more useful if we had methods that consumed
`self` and returned a new key.
Add method `negate` that consumes self and returns the negated key.
Deprecated the `negate_assign` methods.
We now have a method `add_tweak` on the `SecretKey` and `PublicKey`. We
can add similar methods that consumes self and return the tweaked key
for the `KeyPair` and `XOnlyPublicKey` types.
The justification for doing so is that a local variable that calls
`tweak_add_assign` changes in meaning but the identifier remains the
same, this leads to cumbersome renaming of the local variable.
The tweaking done to the `KeyPair` is actually done via the xonly public
key not the public key. To reflect this call the method
`add_xonly_tweak`, this is similar to how it is named in secp
`secp256k1_keypair_xonly_tweak_add`.
The key methods `add_assign`, `add_expr_assign`, and `mul_assign` are
cumbersome to use because a local variable that uses these methods
changes meaning but keeps the same identifier. It would be more useful
if we had methods that consumed `self` and returned a new key.
Observe also that these to methods are for adding/multiplying a key by a
tweak, rename the methods appropriately.
Add methods `add_tweak`, `add_expr_tweak`, and `mul_tweak` to the
`SecretKey` and `PublicKey` type. Deprecate `add_assign`,
`add_expr_assign`, and `mul_assign`.
The current display code for `Error` is a little unusual. We typically
just implement `Display` and if a `str` is needed use `format!`.
Improve the `Error` type by doing
- Remove the `as_str` function and implement `Display` directly.
- Remove the 'secp: ' prefix of all the error messages.
- Use a newly defined macro `write_err` that writes the error if `std`
feature is not enabled so that no-std builds do not loose error info.
Note: The `write_err` macro is currently being introduced in
`rust-bitcoin` also. Elect to just duplicate it here and not share it
between the crates.
This adds `Scalar` newtype to better represent values accepted by
tweaking functions. This type is always 32-bytes and guarantees being
within curve order.
We recently added fixed width serialization for some types however
serialization is only fixed width when data is serialized with the
`bincode` crate.
Add rustdocs describing fixed width serde to `SecretKey`, `PublicKey`,
and `XOnlyPublicKey` (`KeyPair` is already done).
Currently the rustdocs for `KeyPair` are stale in regards to serde, we
_do_ implement `Serialize` and `Deserialize` for `KeyPair`.
Improve the rustdocs for `KeyPair` by removing stale docs and adding
docs on fixed width binary serialization.
Currently we serialize keys using the `BytesVisitor`, this causes the
serialized data to contain additional metadata encoding the length (an
extra 8 bytes) when serialized with the `bincode` crate. This extra data
is unnecessary since we know in advance the length of these types.
It would be useful for users of the lib to be able to get a fixed width
binary serialization, this can be done but it depends on the crate used
to do the serialization. We elect to optimise for `bincode` and add docs
noting that other binary serialization crates may differ (rustdocs added
in separate patches).
Implement a tuple based visitor that encodes the keys as fixed width
data.
Do fixed width serde implementations for:
- `SecretKey`
- `PublicKey`
- `KeyPair`
- `XOnlyPublicKey`

We have a bunch of `from_<key>` methods for converting between key types.
To improve the API and make it more ergonomic to use we can add methods
that do the same but can be called on the initial key instead of on the
resulting key's type. E.g. once applied the following are equivalent:
- `let pk = PublicKey::from_keypair(kp)`
- `let pk = kp.public_key()`
Do this for `SecretKey`, `PublicKey`, `KeyPair`, and `XOnlyKeyPair`.
We have two places in the code where we pass a mutable parity integer
to ffi code. At one callsite we tell the compiler explicitly what type
it is (`::secp256k1_sys::types::c_int`) and at the other call site we
let the compiler figure out the type.
Is one way better than the other? I don't know. But letting the compiler
figure it out seems to make the code easier to read.
`SecretKey` implements `Copy` and it is fine to take owneship of it; we
have multiple methods called `from_secret_key` and they all borrow the
secret key parameter. Favour consistency over perfection.
Borrow secret key parameter as is done in other `from_secret_key`
methods.
As we do for other keys implement serde de/serialization for the
`SharedSecret`. Includes implementation of `from_slice` method that is
the borrowed version of `from_bytes` as well as a `FromStr`
implementation that parses a hex string.
Recently we moved from using the identifier 'schnorrsig' to 'schnorr',
we omitted to update the tests.
While we are at it use more idiomatic Rust unit test names (i.e., do not
start test name with `test_` because it stutters when the name is read
in output of `cargo test`).
Recently we moved from using the identifier 'schnorrsig' to 'schnorr',

Currently printing the `SharedSecret` using `Display` or `Debug` prints
the real secret, this is sub-optimal. We have a solution for other
secrets in the project where printing is obfuscated and we provide a
`display_secret` method for explicitly printing.
Mirror the logic for other secrets and obfuscate the `SharedSecret` when printing.
Improve rustdocs on `display_secret` by doing:
- Minor improvements to the rustdocs to aid readability in the editor.
- Do not guarantee (`assert_eq!`) debug output
The `serialize_secret` method is a getter method, it does not do any
serialisation. However we use the method on secret keys and key types so
in order for the name to be uniform use the descriptive name
`secret_bytes`.
Rename `serialize_secret` to be `secret_bytes`.
The identifier `i` is predominantly used for indexing an array but we
are using it as a place holder for the iterated value of an array that
is then printed. The identifier `byte` is more descriptive.
Done in preparation for adding similar code to the `ecdh` module.
In array initialisation we use magic number 64, this is the secret bytes
length multiplied by 2.
Please note; we still use the magic number 32, left as such because it
is used in various ways and its not immediately clear that using a
single const would be any more descriptive.
Use `SECRET_KEY_SIZE * 2` instead of magic number 64.
Hashing the debug output for secrets can be done with `bitcoin_hashes`
not just `std`. Mention this in the obfuscated string output when
neither are available.

834f63c26c Separate new_with_hash into public function (Tobin Harding)
Pull request description:
Currently `SharedSecret` provides a way to get a shared secret using SHA256 _as well as_ a way to use a custom hash function to get the shared secret. Internally `SharedSecret` uses a 256 byte buffer, this is a tad wasteful. We would like to keep the current functionality but reduce memory usage.
- Patch 1: Pulls the `new_with_hash` logic out into a standalone public function that just returns the 64 bytes representing the x,y co-ordinates of the computed shared secret point. Callers are then responsible for hashing this point to get the shared secret (idea by @Kixunil, thanks).
- Patch 2: Does trivial refactor
- Patch 3: Uses a 32 byte buffer internally for `SharedSecret`. This is basically a revert of the work @elichai did to add the custom hashing logic. @elichai please holla if you are not happy with me walking all over this code :)

The `SharedSecret` uses sha256 to hash the secret, this implies the
secret is 32 bytes of data.
Currently we use a buffer of 256 bytes, this is unnecessary.
Change the implementation of `SharedSecret` to use a 32 byte buffer.
In test code we use multiple pub/sec keys. It is more intuitive if the
'secret 1' is generated by the owner of secret key 1.
Refactor only, no logic changes.
In preparation for simplifying the `SharedSecret` internals pull the
`new_with_hash` function logic out into a standalone public function
that provides similar functionality without use of the `SharedSecret`
struct. Function now returns the 64 bytes of data representing a shared
point on the curve, callers are expected to the hash these bytes to get
a shared secret.
We are using `cfg_attr` to instruct the rustdocs build system to
highlight feature requirements for functions, there is no need to
explicitly mention feature requirements in the text.
Recently we fixed a bunch of feature gates to use `rand-std` instead
of `rand` but in doing so did not notice that the same feature gates
were using `alloc` which is meaningless if `std` is enabled.
Feature gate on `std` if we are using `rand-std`.

Our API often involves a `Secp256k1` parameter, when users enable the
`global-context` feature they must then pass `SECP256K1` into these
functions. This is kind of clunky since the global is by definition
available everywhere.
Make the API more ergonomic for `global-context` builds by adding
various API functions/methods that use the global context implicitly.
The global context is already in scope in tests since we use a glob
import. No clue why Clippy does not warn for this.
Remove unnecessary import statement in test function.
Recently we introduced uniform styling for module docs over in
`rust-bitcoin` repo. We can do the same here but its a bit controversial
because it removes the heading from module docs and every single public
module in rust-secp256k1 uses a heading. Instead we use a full
sentences. Also makes uniform the trailing `//!`.
As is typical in the Rust ecosystem use the third person tense when
documenting functions. E.g.,
```
/// Creates a new Foo.
```
As opposed to
```
/// Create a new Foo.
```

Now that we opportunistically randomize the context on creation if
`rand-std` is enabled it would be nice to encourage users who do not
wish to use `rand-std` to randomize the context. We already have an API
to do this but it requires a separate call to do so. Instead of adding a
bunch of additional constructors elect to add documentation to the
current constructors guiding users towards randomization.
We recently implemented opportunistic randomization of the context
object if the the `rand-std` feature is enabled. Both for the global
context and also for signing context constructors.
Add documentation about `rand-std` feature in relation to the context
object.
Instead of providing a mechanism for users to opt out of randomization
we can just feature gate the call site i.e., opportunistically randomize
the global context on creation if `rand-std` feature is enabled.
2732891359 Change rand to rand-std in lib.rs documentation (Vincent Liao)
Pull request description:
I copy-pasted the key-generation example written on the documentation, but it didn't work. It only worked when I used the feature `rand-std` instead of `rand`.
To reproduce, boot up a new Rust project, and add this to main.rs:
```
use secp256k1::rand::rngs::OsRng;
use secp256k1::{Secp256k1, Message};
use secp256k1::hashes::sha256;
let secp = Secp256k1::new();
let mut rng = OsRng::new().expect("OsRng");
let (secret_key, public_key) = secp.generate_keypair(&mut rng);
let message = Message::from_hashed_data::<sha256::Hash>("Hello World!".as_bytes());
let sig = secp.sign_ecdsa(&message, &secret_key);
assert!(secp.verify_ecdsa(&message, &sig, &public_key).is_ok());
```
Using this dependencies causes error: `secp256k1 = {version="0.21.2", features=["rand", "bitcoin_hashes"]}`. After replacing `rand` with `rand-std`, it works.

Seems there is a bug in cargo, the tests in `key.rs` run successfully

Anywho, use the correct feature gate: `rand-std`.
Various combinations of features trigger lint warnings for unused code,
all warnings are caused by incorrect feature gating.
Correct feature gating to remove Clippy warnings during testing.
Currently various features fail to build when enabled without default
features. This is because many tests need feature gating.
Feature gating the import statements quickly turns into spaghetti when
trying to cover all combinations of two features correctly, instead just
allow unused imports on `tests` modules where needed.
Add correct feature requirements to the examples so they also can be run
without default features.
Improve the CI script by doing:
- Add `std` to the feature matrix.
- Add `--no-default-features` to test runs in the CI script.
The `Debug` implementation for secrets is feature gated on `std` because
it uses a hasher from `std`. If `bitcoin_hashes` is enabled we can use
it for hashing. If neither `std` nor `bitcoin_hashes` is enabled fall
back to outputting:

Remove the docs conditional since we now implement `Debug` always.

Pull request description:
This PR is an initial attempt to more thoroughly test our public API.
Add examples to various types/methods/functions in the key module.
I'm not entirely sure when is enough, do we want an example on every single public method, function, and type or is this overkill. In this PR I tried to find a balance by doing ever method/function that took an argument that is a custom type from this lib. I think this should be extended to include return values too though ...
Thanks to @thomaseizinger for the idea!
First 2 patches are docs improvements to `lib.rs`.

We recently patched much of the docs in the `key` module, lets attempt
to attain perfection.
Improve docs by doing:
- Use full stops
- Use 100 character column width
- Use plural third person tense
- Use plural for section headings
- Fix any grammar mistakes
- Use code ticks and links as appropriate
Done in an effort to better test our public API.
Add tests in the `Examples` section as is idiomatic in the Rust
ecosystem.
Make other minor improvements to any rusdocs we touch:
- Use full stops
- Use 100 character column width
- Use plural third person tense
- Use plural for section headings
Improve method docs by doing:
- Remove 'batch' comment
- Remove mention of required features, docs already show this
- Use links to types as well as ticks
Recently we made a wee mess with the `Parity` opaque type. Let's fix it
up by doing:
- Use an enum with variants `Even` and `Odd`.
- Add explicit conversion methods to/from u8 and i32
- Implement `BitXor`
Note: This patch is an API breaking change that does _not_ follow the
deprecation guidelines. Rust does not allow deprecating `From` impl
blocks AFAICT.
