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
.
Building with CMake (experimental)
To maintain a pristine source tree, CMake encourages to perform an out-of-source build by using a separate dedicated build tree.
Building on POSIX systems
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .
$ ctest # run the test suite
$ sudo cmake --build . --target install # optional
To compile optional modules (such as Schnorr signatures), you need to run cmake
with additional flags (such as -DSECP256K1_ENABLE_MODULE_SCHNORRSIG=ON
). Run cmake .. -LH
to see the full list of available flags.
Cross compiling
To alleviate issues with cross compiling, preconfigured toolchain files are available in the cmake
directory.
For example, to cross compile for Windows:
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/x86_64-w64-mingw32.toolchain.cmake
To cross compile for Android with NDK (using NDK's toolchain file, and assuming the ANDROID_NDK_ROOT
environment variable has been set):
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="${ANDROID_NDK_ROOT}/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake" -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_PLATFORM=28
Building on Windows
To build on Windows with Visual Studio, a proper generator must be specified for a new build tree.
The following example assumes using of Visual Studio 2022 and CMake v3.21+.
In "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022":
>cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -S . -B build
>cmake --build build --config RelWithDebInfo
Usage examples
Usage examples can be found in the examples directory. To compile them you need to configure with --enable-examples
.
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
