Signature verification

The main purpose of this contract is verification of ECDSA signatures based on curve secp256r1 / prime256v1 / p256. To verify a signature, use the function

function validateSignature(bytes32 message, uint[2] memory rs, uint[2] memory Q) public pure
    returns (bool)

where

  • bytes32 message is the hash of the signed message
  • uint[2] rs contains the signature
  • uint[2] Q contains the coordinates of the public key

The function returns true for valid signatures, false otherwise.

Notes:

  • To disambiguate public keys when verifying signatures, activate condition rs[1] > lowSmax in validateSignature().
  • To run the tests, first install the node packages (npm install) and then run truffle test.
  • Verifying signatures is costly (!) in terms of gas.
