The cryptographic primitives (ECDSA and HMAC) implementations in this package
|
|
|
|
|
have been audited by:

## random
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `bitcore.Crypto.Random` namespace contains a single function, named
|
|
|
|
|
`getRandomBuffer(size)` that returns a `Buffer` instance with random bytes. It
|
|
|
|
|
may not work depending on the engine that bitcore is running on (doesn't work
|
|
|
|
|
with IE versions lesser than 11).

|
|
|
|
|
|
## bn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `bitcore.Crypto.BN` class contains a wrapper around
|
|
|
|
|
[bn.js](https://github.com/indutny/bn.js), the bignum library used internally
|
|
|
|
|
in bitcore.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## point
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `bitcore.Crypto.Point` class contains a wrapper around the class Point of
|
|
|
|
|
[elliptic.js](https://github.com/indutny/elliptic.js), the elliptic curve
|
|
|
|
|
library used internally in bitcore.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## hash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `bitcore.Crypto.Hash` namespace contains a set of hashes and utilities.
|
|
|
|
|
These are either the native `crypto` hash functions from `node.js` or their
|
|
|
|
|
respective browser shims as provided by the `browserify` library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## ecdsa
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`bitcore.Crypto.ECDSA` contains a pure javascript implementation of the
|
|
|
|
|
elliptic curve DSA signature scheme.
