ecctools

Small collection of tools written in C for ECC and bitcoin

Why this programs are written in C language?

Well i like C language because compiled code is faster than interpreted code.

Warning

• This repository include a small ECDSA Cryptography library.
• This library was made by myself reading the documentaion but it can have some bugs.
• I already implement the use of secure memory provided by the gcrypt library.
• I just solved albertobsd#16
• Use it by your own risk.
• I use this tools in my daily basis with my own private key.

How to download and run the code?

For Termux users you need to install some utilities

apt update && apt upgrade
apt install root-repo
apt install git -y
apt install build-essential -y
apt install libssl-dev
apt install libgcrypt20-dev
apt install libgmp-dev

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/albertobsd/ecctools.git

Compile:

make

keygen

This tool generate one private and his address/publickey compressed and uncompressed at request.

you can specify the bit size from 1 to 256 with -b value where value is the number of bits in your key. if you don't specify this value the bit may vary from 1 to 256, this will depend only of the RNG

Also you can select the random source for this key -s source, where sourse is one of the next values. The default source is urandom

• urandom to use the linux device /dev/urandom
• random to use the linux device /dev/random
• openssl to use the RND build in openssl library
• getrandom to use the linux kernet funtcion getrandom, this may be equivalen to urandom in some kernels
• gcrypt to use RND build in gcrypt library

example:

albertobsd $ ./keygen
KEY (Secret: DON'T SHARE THIS VALUE): 18f619c4d16057d362ddfce772f551d46a2390517698226cff6e5bf67ac4b324

sharedsecret

In cryptography is important to have a shared secret with the person who you are communicating. But is also very important to have a way to communicate this secret without disclose it to all the world.

This tool calculate that shared secret with your privatekey and the publickey of the other person.

Alice (you) want to send a encrypted file to Bob (Other person) Alice have his own privatekey and Alice know the Publickey of Bob.

Alice use this tool to calcualte the share secret to be use to encrypt the file.

Alice example Keys: Private key: 18f619c4d16057d362ddfce772f551d46a2390517698226cff6e5bf67ac4b324 (Unknow for Bob and everyone else) Public key : 03af6e50db92ce378c29df0ed9a04d3431bc06762aa37ec3ab42af147083630596 (Public)

Bob example Keys: Private key: bc9e78f140a76cbdcdbecc5ab0ec38b4db710edfa40dea342712c8a695fe8b22 (Unknow for Alice and everyone else) Public key : 022c8191049a3f2816bc95077b91caed87900d0cd2af3757004531face9c3b6082 (Public)

Alice run the program:

./sharedsecret
A: private key (hex): 18f619c4d16057d362ddfce772f551d46a2390517698226cff6e5bf67ac4b324
B: public key : 022c8191049a3f2816bc95077b91caed87900d0cd2af3757004531face9c3b6082
Secret between A and B: 22fb667f3bc1a2153e3cef75df0ce757a1c86051c07ace6b0c30dc87f3358511 (DON'T SHARE, THIS IS SECRET)

Bob run the program:

./sharedsecret
A: private key (hex): bc9e78f140a76cbdcdbecc5ab0ec38b4db710edfa40dea342712c8a695fe8b22
B: public key : 03af6e50db92ce378c29df0ed9a04d3431bc06762aa37ec3ab42af147083630596
Secret between A and B: 22fb667f3bc1a2153e3cef75df0ce757a1c86051c07ace6b0c30dc87f3358511 (DON'T SHARE, THIS IS SECRET)

Alice and Bob get the same shared secret only sharing their own PUBLIC keys to each other.

Alice procced to encrypt their secret file input.txt with the password 22fb667f3bc1a2153e3cef75df0ce757a1c86051c07ace6b0c30dc87f3358511

openssl aes-256-cbc -salt -pbkdf2 -in input.txt -out input.txt.enc

Bob decrypt the secret file with the command using the same password 22fb667f3bc1a2153e3cef75df0ce757a1c86051c07ace6b0c30dc87f3358511:

openssl aes-256-cbc -d -salt -pbkdf2 -in input.txt.enc -out message.txt

Note for cryptographers this is just a basic proof of concept, i know that the comunication channel can be compromised, there are mitm attacks, there is no authentication or integrity of the data etc...

rehashaddress

A NON standard, deterministic private key generator from a password or passphrase.

what is the objective of this tool? just provide a easy way to generate deterministics privatekeys from a selected password or passphrase and number of rehashes

Advice: USE A SECURE PASSWORD

Example of use

Generate 2 privatekeys and his address after 100 thausand of rehahes

./rehashaddress -p "}78~Et=jPQP5}MVVj2fc0X38{~I}?c" -n 2 -m 100000

public address uncompressed 1NKUnTCtN3Pbm3wEVsFZFuotKkjPPi4g3B

calculatefrompublickey

A easy way to check the address from a publickey

What is the objetive of this tool? just check wha are the address from a publickey.

Example of use

./calculatefromkey ca12010ce2daaf02611d440acd42e8bc791881375c58197cf56995059b28e797

Output:

address 16Ln3w1JLD8s7rNni37A7SiVmVPHXEHFWF

keydivision

This is just a proof of concept program just to show how we can divide publickeys.

The result from exact divisions is the same like any decimal number but if the division is not exact the result will be in an unknow place in the curve

Example of use: Divide a publickey bewteen 4 three times in a row:

./keydivision -p 03a301697bdfcd704313ba48e51d567543f2a182031efd6915ddc07bbcc4e16070 -n 3 -d 4

Output:

03f694cbaf2b966c1cc5f7f829d3a907819bc70ebcc1b229d9e81bda2712998b10
02e80fea14441fb33a7d8adab9475d7fab2019effb5156a792f1a11778e3c0df5d
033ab6bde10cd3ac0cd06883fa66f0b0e3eb1309c0534b812286e2a30ca540db99

explanation: the target publickey 03a301697bdfcd704313ba48e51d567543f2a182031efd6915ddc07bbcc4e16070 have privatekey 0x1000000000000000000000000000000

each line of the output are the result of divide the publickey by 4 lets to check this example with keymath

keymath

Keymath is basically an arithmetic calculator por publickeys with only four operations:

• addition
• subtration
• multiplication by an scalar number
• division by an scalar number

previous example:

./keymath 03a301697bdfcd704313ba48e51d567543f2a182031efd6915ddc07bbcc4e16070 / 4

output: Result: 03f694cbaf2b966c1cc5f7f829d3a907819bc70ebcc1b229d9e81bda2712998b10

this is the first line of the keydivision example, their privatekey is 0x1000000000000000000000000000000 bewteen 4 equals to 0x400000000000000000000000000000

./keymath 03f694cbaf2b966c1cc5f7f829d3a907819bc70ebcc1b229d9e81bda2712998b10 / 4

output: Result: 02e80fea14441fb33a7d8adab9475d7fab2019effb5156a792f1a11778e3c0df5d

from here you can do your calculations by your self

multiplication by an scalar number

The multiplication and the division only can be done with a number you can't multiply or divide two publickeys

./keymath 033ab6bde10cd3ac0cd06883fa66f0b0e3eb1309c0534b812286e2a30ca540db99 x 64

Result: 03a301697bdfcd704313ba48e51d567543f2a182031efd6915ddc07bbcc4e16070

modmath

this is an arithmetic calculator but all operations are modulo N, this is Modulo 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEBAAEDCE6AF48A03BBFD25E8CD0364141

Did you remember that i write before: "not exact the result will be in an unknow place in the curve" I lie, we can know more or less where those result are but even with this information we can't find values when we don't know the PrivateKey value.

./modmath 1 / 2

Output:

Result: 7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff5d576e7357a4501ddfe92f46681b20a1

./modmath 3 / 2

Output:

Result: 7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff5d576e7357a4501ddfe92f46681b20a2

if you see those privatekeys are sequentially, Lest to divide the publickeys of 1 and 3 by 2

./keymath 0279be667ef9dcbbac55a06295ce870b07029bfcdb2dce28d959f2815b16f81798 / 2

output: Result: 0200000000000000000000003b78ce563f89a0ed9414f5aa28ad0d96d6795f9c63

./keymath 02f9308a019258c31049344f85f89d5229b531c845836f99b08601f113bce036f9 / 2

output: Result: 02c62c910e502cb615a27c58512b6cc2c94f5742f76cb3d12ec993400a3695d413

Know you can comprobate that the publickeys of 7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff5d576e7357a4501ddfe92f46681b20a1 and 7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff5d576e7357a4501ddfe92f46681b20a2 are

0200000000000000000000003b78ce563f89a0ed9414f5aa28ad0d96d6795f9c63 02c62c910e502cb615a27c58512b6cc2c94f5742f76cb3d12ec993400a3695d413

can you calcualte what is the publickey of 7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff5d576e7357a4501ddfe92f46681b20a0 with keymath?

./keymath 0200000000000000000000003b78ce563f89a0ed9414f5aa28ad0d96d6795f9c63 - 1

output: Result: 0300000000000000000000003b78ce563f89a0ed9414f5aa28ad0d96d6795f9c63
