libsecp256k1-zkp

A fork of libsecp256k1 with support for advanced and experimental features such as Confidential Assets and MuSig2

Added features:

• Experimental module for ECDSA adaptor signatures.
• Experimental module for ECDSA sign-to-contract.
• Experimental module for MuSig2.
• Experimental module for Confidential Assets (Pedersen commitments, range proofs, and surjection proofs).
• Experimental module for Bulletproofs++ range proofs.
• Experimental module for address whitelisting.

Experimental features are made available for testing and review by the community. The APIs of these features should not be considered stable.

Build steps

Building with Autotools

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make check  # run the test suite
$ sudo make install  # optional

To compile optional modules (such as Schnorr signatures), you need to run ./configure with additional flags (such as --enable-module-schnorrsig). Run ./configure --help to see the full list of available flags. For experimental modules, you will also need --enable-experimental as well as a flag for each individual module, e.g. --enable-module-musig.

Usage examples

Usage examples can be found in the examples directory. To compile them you need to configure with --enable-examples.

• ECDSA example
• Schnorr signatures example
• Deriving a shared secret (ECDH) example
• MuSig example

To compile the Schnorr signature, ECDH and MuSig examples, you need to enable the corresponding module by providing a flag to the configure script, for example --enable-module-schnorrsig.

Benchmark

If configured with --enable-benchmark (which is the default), binaries for benchmarking the libsecp256k1-zkp functions will be present in the root directory after the build.

To print the benchmark result to the command line:

$ ./bench_name

To create a CSV file for the benchmark result :

$ ./bench_name | sed '2d;s/ \{1,\}//g' > bench_name.csv
