Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CKey::CKey ( )
inline

Construct an invalid private key.

Definition at line 53 of file key.h.

CKey::~CKey ( )
inline

Destructor (again necessary because of memlocking).

bool CKey::Derive ( CKey keyChild,
ChainCode ccChild,
unsigned int  nChild,
const ChainCode cc 
) const

Derive BIP32 child key.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

CPrivKey CKey::GetPrivKey ( ) const

Convert the private key to a CPrivKey (serialized OpenSSL private key data).

This is expensive.

CPubKey CKey::GetPubKey ( ) const

Compute the public key from a private key.

This is expensive.

bool CKey::IsCompressed ( ) const
inline

Check whether the public key corresponding to this private key is (to be) compressed.

Definition at line 95 of file key.h.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool CKey::IsValid ( ) const
inline

Check whether this private key is valid.

Definition at line 92 of file key.h.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool CKey::Load ( CPrivKey privkey,
CPubKey vchPubKey,
bool  fSkipCheck = false 
)

Load private key and check that public key matches.

Definition at line 204 of file key.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void CKey::MakeNewKey ( bool  fCompressed)

Generate a new private key using a cryptographic PRNG.

Definition at line 126 of file key.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

template<typename T >
void CKey::Set ( const T  pbegin,
const T  pend,
bool  fCompressedIn 
)
inline

Initialize using begin and end iterators to byte data.

Definition at line 73 of file key.h.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool CKey::Sign ( const uint256 hash,
std::vector< unsigned char > &  vchSig,
uint32_t  test_case = 0 
) const

Create a DER-serialized signature.

The test_case parameter tweaks the deterministic nonce.

Definition at line 160 of file key.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool CKey::SignCompact ( const uint256 hash,
std::vector< unsigned char > &  vchSig 
) const

Create a compact signature (65 bytes), which allows reconstructing the used public key.

The format is one header byte, followed by two times 32 bytes for the serialized r and s values. The header byte: 0x1B = first key with even y, 0x1C = first key with odd y, 0x1D = second key with even y, 0x1E = second key with odd y, add 0x04 for compressed keys.

unsigned int CKey::size ( ) const
inline

Simple read-only vector-like interface.

Definition at line 87 of file key.h.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool CKey::VerifyPubKey ( const CPubKey vchPubKey) const

Verify thoroughly whether a private key and a public key match.

This is done using a different mechanism than just regenerating it.

Member Data Documentation

bool CKey::fCompressed
private

Whether the public key corresponding to this private key is (to be) compressed.

Definition at line 43 of file key.h.

bool CKey::fValid
private

Whether this private key is valid.

We check for correctness when modifying the key data, so fValid should always correspond to the actual state.

Definition at line 40 of file key.h.

std::vector<unsigned char, secure_allocator<unsigned char> > CKey::keydata
private

The actual byte data.
