secp256k1-php

PHP bindings for https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1

Please note that the upstream library, libsecp256k1 is still considered experimental by it's authors, and has not yet been formally released. For this reason, it's use should be discouraged. For consensus systems this warning is critical.

The library supports the EcDH, and signature recovery modules - these libraries are required for installation.

Requirements

PHP 5.* versions are supported in the v0.0.x release. PHP 7 is supported in the v0.1.x series.

About the extension

Fully unit tested, with >99 code coverage since the v0.1.3 release.
This extension only supports deterministic signatures at present. In fact, no RNG is utilized in this extension - private keys must be generated elsewhere.
The extension exposes the same raw API of libsecp256k1. As such, you must ensure you are passing the binary representations of each value.
In keeping with libsecp256k1, this extension returns certain data to the user by writing to a variable reference, and returning a code indicating the failure/success.
