Examples

Below are some code examples showcasing different functionalities of the secp256k1swiftforrn library:

Generating Keys

To generate a new secp256k1 private key, use the following code:

// Generate private key
let privateKey = secp256k1swiftforrn.generatePrivateKey()

To derive the corresponding public key, use the code snippet below:

// Derive public key from private key
let publicKey = secp256k1swiftforrn.getPublicKey(privateKey: privateKey)

Make sure to handle errors and encoding if necessary.

Signing

To sign a message using a private key, utilize the following code:

// Sign message
let signature = secp256k1swiftforrn.signMessage(message: message, privateKey: privateKey)

To verify the signature against the message and public key, use the code below:

// Verify signature
let isVerified = secp256k1swiftforrn.verifySignature(message: message, signature: signature, publicKey: publicKey)

The isVerified variable will be a boolean indicating whether the signature is valid or not.
