Javascript library for BLS (Boneh-Lynn-Shacham) signatures and signature aggregation, tailored for use in Eth2.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn add @chainsafe/bls
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use native bindings you must install peer dependency `@chainsafe/blst`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn add @chainsafe/bls @chainsafe/blst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You must initialize the library once in your application before using it. The result is cached and use across all your imports
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import {init, SecretKey, secretKeyToPublicKey, sign, verify} from "@chainsafe/bls";
|
|
|
|
(async () => {
|
|
await init("herumi");
|
|
|
|
// class-based interface
|
|
const secretKey = SecretKey.fromKeygen();
|
|
const publicKey = secretKey.toPublicKey();
|
|
const message = new Uint8Array(32);
|
|
|
|
const signature = secretKey.sign(message);
|
|
console.log("Is valid: ", signature.verify(publicKey, message));
|
|
|
|
// functional interface
|
|
const sk = secretKey.toBytes();
|
|
const pk = secretKeyToPublicKey(sk);
|
|
const sig = sign(sk, message);
|
|
console.log("Is valid: ", verify(pk, message, sig));
|
|
})();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Browser
|
|
|
|
If you are in the browser, import from `/browser` to import directly the WASM version
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import bls from "@chainsafe/bls/browser";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Native bindings only
|
|
|
|
If you are in NodeJS, import from `/node` to skip browser specific code. Also install peer dependency `@chainsafe/blst` which has the native bindings
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn add @chainsafe/bls @chainsafe/blst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import bls from "@chainsafe/bls/node";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Native bindings + WASM fallback
|
|
|
|
If you want to offer a fallback in NodeJS, first try to load native bindings and then fallback to WASM. Also install peer dependency `@chainsafe/blst` which has the native bindings
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn add @chainsafe/bls @chainsafe/blst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import {init} from "@chainsafe/bls";
|
|
|
|
try {
|
|
await init("blst-native");
|
|
} catch (e) {
|
|
await init("herumi");
|
|
console.warn("Using WASM");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The API is identical for all implementations.
