2014-08-18key.cpp: fail with a friendlier message on missing ssl EC supportAndrew Poelstra
Previously if bitcoind is linked with an OpenSSL which is compiled without EC support, this is seen as an assertion failure "pKey != NULL" at key.cpp:134, which occurs after several seconds. It is an esoteric piece of knowledge to interpret this as "oops, I linked with the wrong OpenSSL", and because of the delay it may not even be noticed. The new output is : OpenSSL appears to lack support for elliptic curve cryptography. For more information, visit https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/OpenSSL_and_EC_Libraries : Initialization sanity check failed. Bitcoin Core is shutting down. which occurs immediately after attempted startup. This also blocks in an InitSanityCheck() function which currently only checks for EC support but should eventually do more. See #4081. Rebased-From: 4a09e1d
2013-12-02Sanitize assert usage and refuse to compile with NDEBUG.Gregory Maxwell
There were quite a few places where assert() was used with side effects, making operation with NDEBUG non-functional. This commit fixes all the cases I know about, but also adds an #error on NDEBUG because the code is untested without assertions and may still have vulnerabilities if used without assert.
2013-11-10Cleanup code using forward declarations.Brandon Dahler
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes. Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h. Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h. Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible. Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones. Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.

2013-08-16Only create signatures with even S, and verification mode to check.Pieter Wuille
To fix a minor malleability found by Sergio Lerner (reported here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8392.msg1245898#msg1245898) The problem is that if (R,S) is a valid ECDSA signature for a given message and public key, (R,-S) is also valid. Modulo N (the order of the secp256k1 curve), this means that both (R,S) and (R,N-S) are valid. Given that N is odd, S and N-S have a different lowest bit. We solve the problem by forcing signatures to have an even S value, excluding one of the alternatives. This commit just changes the signing code to always produce even S values, and adds a verification mode to check it. This code is not enabled anywhere yet. Existing tests in key_tests.cpp verify that the produced signatures are still valid.

2013-07-13Fix minor backward incompatibilityPieter Wuille
The key refactor changed the way unencrypted private keys with compressed public key are stored in the wallet. Apparently older versions relied on this to verify the correctness of stored keys. Note that earlier pre-release versions do risk creating wallets that can not be opened by 0.8.3 and earlier.

2012-10-20Compact serialization for scriptsPieter Wuille
Special serializers for script which detect common cases and encode them much more efficiently. 3 special cases are defined: * Pay to pubkey hash (encoded as 21 bytes) * Pay to script hash (encoded as 21 bytes) * Pay to pubkey starting with 0x02, 0x03 or 0x04 (encoded as 33 bytes) Other scripts up to 121 bytes require 1 byte + script length. Above that, scripts up to 16505 bytes require 2 bytes + script length.
2012-10-08Handle corrupt wallets gracefully.Gavin Andresen
Corrupt wallets used to cause a DB_RUNRECOVERY uncaught exception and a crash. This commit does three things: 1) Runs a BDB verify early in the startup process, and if there is a low-level problem with the database: + Moves the bad wallet.dat to wallet.timestamp.bak + Runs a 'salvage' operation to get key/value pairs, and writes them to a new wallet.dat + Continues with startup. 2) Much more tolerant of serialization errors. All errors in deserialization are reported by tolerated EXCEPT for errors related to reading keypairs or master key records-- those are reported and then shut down, so the user can get help (or recover from a backup). 3) Adds a new -salvagewallet option, which: + Moves the wallet.dat to wallet.timestamp.bak + extracts ONLY keypairs and master keys into a new wallet.dat + soft-sets -rescan, to recreate transaction history This was tested by randomly corrupting testnet wallets using a little python script I wrote (https://gist.github.com/3812689)

2012-05-24Encapsulate public keys in CPubKeyPieter Wuille
2012-05-22Move signature cache from CKey::Verify to CheckSig in script.cppGavin Andresen
More than doubles the speed of verifying already-cached signatures that use compressed pubkeys: Before: ~200 microseconds After: ~80 microseconds (no caching at all: ~3,300 microseconds per signature) Also encapsulates the signature cache code in a class and fixes a signed/unsigned comparison warning.

2012-05-18Cache signature verificationsGavin Andresen
Create a maximum-10MB signature verification result cache. This should almost double the number of transactions that can be processed on a given CPU, because before this change ECDSA signatures were verified when transactions were added to the memory pool and then again when they appeared in a block.
