Pull request description:
We have a bunch of `from_<key>` methods for converting between key types. To make the API more ergonomic to use we can add methods that do the same but called on a variable 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`.
Fixes: #428
### Note to reviewers
- `XOnlyPublicKey` -> `PublicKey` logic is made up by me, I could not work out how to get `libsecp256k1` to do this.
- Please review the tests carefully, they include assumptions based on my current understanding of the cryptography :)

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',
we omitted to update the schnorr signature size constant.
Deprecate `SCHNORRSIG_SIGNATURE_SIZE` and add
`SCHONORR_SIGNATURE_SIZE`.

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.

d5eeb099ad Use more intuitive local var numbering (Tobin Harding)
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.
```
Example relies on `rand-std` not plain `rand` dependency.

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:
<secret requires std or bitcoin_hashes feature to display>
Remove the docs conditional since we now implement `Debug` always.

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.

Recently we deprecated a bunch of methods/functions. We are still
calling them in test code. Found by Clippy.
Use the shiny new methods/functions instead of the deprecated ones.
We have deprecated all other functions that use the identifier
'schnorrsig' but we missed `generate_schnorrsig_keypair`.
This function is purely a helper function and serves no real purpose
other than to reduce two lines of code to a single line. Downstream
users can write this function themselves if they need it.
Also, we recently added a new public method to `KeyPair` to get the
public key in a slightly more ergonomic fashion. Use `kp.public_key()`
when replacing usage of now deprecated `generate_schnorrsig_keypair`
function.
Currently to get the `XOnlyPublicKey` from a `KeyPair` users must do
`XOnlyPublicKey::from_keypair(&kp)`. While this does the job we can make
the lib more ergonomic by providing a method directly on `KeyPair` that
calls through to `XOnlyPublicKey::from_keypair`.
Add method `KeyPair::public_key(&self)`.

Previously only `global-context-less-secure` was shown in the doc even
though `global-context` may also work. This was strictly correct because
`global-context` implies `global-context-less-secure` which is also
documented but people could miss it or forget about it and then worry
about security or worse, enable less secure feature.
Calling out both fetures seems useful, even important and thankfully
doesn't seem to cause too much noise in the docs.
Currently we have an implementation of `Debug` (also used by `Display`)
for `Signature` that first converts the sig to a `SerializedSignature`
then prints it as hex.
We would like to have an implementation of `Debug` for
`SerializedSignature`, this cannot be derived because of the `data: [u8;
field]`. We can manually implement `Debug` for `SerializedSignature`
exactly as it is currently done for `Signature` and call this new
implementation from `Signature::fmt()`.
This code path is already tested in `lib.rs` in the test function
`signature_display`.
Rustc can warn us when we forget to add `Copy` and `Deubg` trait
implementations to types.
Add lint directives to enable warnings for missing `Copy` and `Debug`
implementations. Use the newly emitted warnings to find types that do
not implement our 'standard' traits. These 'standard' traits are defined
as the set of attributes that it has been found beneficial to
opportunistically add to all types, these are
- Copy
- Clone
- Debug
- PartialEq and Eq
- PartialOrd and Ord
- Hash
e595b39510 Re-export Parity struct (sanket1729)
Pull request description:
pub struct Parity is under a private module key and not re-exported in lib.rs . It is therefore not
possible to use it downstream.
