Module bdk_chain::bitcoin::key

Bitcoin keys.

This module provides keys used in Bitcoin that can be roundtrip (de)serialized.

Structs

• CompressedPublicKey
  An always-compressed Bitcoin ECDSA public key
• InvalidAddressVersionError
  Invalid address version in decoded base58 data.
• InvalidBase58PayloadLengthError
  Decoded base58 data was an invalid length.
• Keypair
  Opaque data structure that holds a keypair consisting of a secret and a public key.
• PrivateKey
  A Bitcoin ECDSA private key
• PubkeyHash
  A hash of a public key.
• PublicKey
  A Bitcoin ECDSA public key
• Secp256k1
  The secp256k1 engine, used to execute all signature operations.
• SortKey
  An opaque return type for PublicKey::to_sort_key
• TweakedKeypair
  Tweaked BIP-340 key pair
• TweakedPublicKey
  Tweaked BIP-340 X-coord-only public key
• UncompressedPublicKeyError
  Segwit public keys must always be compressed.
• WPubkeyHash
  SegWit version of a public key hash.
• XOnlyPublicKey
  An x-only public key, used for verification of Taproot signatures and serialized according to BIP-340.

Enums

• FromSliceError
  Error returned while generating key from slice.
• FromWifError
  Error generated from WIF key format.
• Parity
  Represents the parity passed between FFI function calls.
• ParseCompressedPublicKeyError
  Error returned when parsing a CompressedPublicKey from a string.
• ParsePublicKeyError
  Error returned while constructing public key from string.

Traits

• TapTweak
  A trait for tweaking BIP340 key types (x-only public keys and key pairs).
• Verification
  Marker trait for indicating that an instance of Secp256k1 can be used for verification.

Type Aliases

• UntweakedKeypair
  Untweaked BIP-340 key pair
• UntweakedPublicKey
  Untweaked BIP-340 X-coord-only public key
