bip66

Strict DER signature encoding/decoding.

See bip66.

• This module works only with two's complement numbers.
• BIP66 doesn't check that r or s are fully valid.
  • check/decode doesn't check that r or s great than 33 bytes or that this number represent valid point on elliptic curve.
  • encode doesn't check that r/s represent valid point on elliptic curve.

Example

import * as bip66 from"bip66"
const r = Buffer.from('1ea1fdff81b3a271659df4aad19bc4ef83def389131a36358fe64b245632e777', 'hex')
const s = Buffer.from('29e164658be9ce810921bf81d6b86694785a79ea1e52dbfa5105148d1f0bc1', 'hex')

// Buffer or UInt8Array can be passed in to the encode/decode functions
const signature = bip66.encode(r, s)
// Uint8Array(69) [
//    48,  67,   2,  32,  30, 161, 253, 255, 129, 179, 162,
