Bitcoin Crypto

The cryptographic primitives (ECDSA and HMAC) implementations in this package have been reviewed by the BitPay engineering team. More audits and reviews are welcomed.

Random

The bitcore.crypto.Random namespace contains a single function, named getRandomBuffer(size) that returns a Buffer instance with random bytes. It may not work depending on the engine that bitcore is running on (doesn't work with IE versions lesser than 11).

BN

The bitcore.crypto.BN class contains a wrapper around bn.js, the bignum library used internally in bitcore.

Point

The bitcore.crypto.Point class contains a wrapper around the class Point of elliptic.js, the elliptic curve library used internally in bitcore.

Hash

The bitcore.crypto.Hash namespace contains a set of hashes and utilities. These are either the native crypto hash functions from node.js or their respective browser shims as provided by the browserify library.

ECDSA

bitcore.crypto.ECDSA contains a pure JavaScript implementation of the elliptic curve DSA signature scheme based on elliptic.js.
