This commit deletes the `benchmark_results.txt` file, which contained performance metrics for various cryptographic operations. Additionally, the Go module has been updated to version 1.25.0, and new dependencies have been added, including `btcec` for enhanced signing capabilities. The `go.sum` file has also been updated to reflect these changes. A new benchmark report has been introduced to provide a comprehensive comparison of signer implementations.
This commit introduces the implementation of Schnorr signatures following BIP-340, including the `SchnorrSign` and `SchnorrVerify` functions. It also adds comprehensive tests to validate the signing and verification processes, ensuring correct functionality with both standard and auxiliary randomness. The tests cover various scenarios, including signature generation, verification, and edge cases, enhancing the robustness of the secp256k1 implementation. Additionally, new files for Schnorr signature operations and tests have been created, contributing to the overall cryptographic capabilities of the library.
This commit introduces two new files: `BENCHMARK_RESULTS.md` and `benchmark_results.txt`, which document the performance metrics of various cryptographic operations, including ECDSA signing, verification, and ECDH key exchange. The results provide insights into operation times, memory allocations, and comparisons with C implementations. Additionally, new test files for ECDSA and ECDH functionalities have been added, ensuring comprehensive coverage and validation of the implemented algorithms. This enhances the overall robustness and performance understanding of the secp256k1 implementation.
This commit introduces a new test file for context management, covering various scenarios for context creation, destruction, and capabilities. Additionally, it implements the generator multiplication context, enhancing the secp256k1 elliptic curve operations. The changes ensure comprehensive testing and improved functionality for context handling, contributing to the overall robustness of the implementation.
This commit introduces a detailed summary of the Phase 1 implementation, outlining completed components such as core infrastructure files for group operations, generator point multiplication, public key operations, and context management. It also includes comprehensive test coverage for these components. The current status highlights working features and known issues, particularly a critical bug in field arithmetic that needs addressing before proceeding to further phases. The file structure is organized for modularity and performance optimization.
