Opaque data structure that holds context information (precomputed tables etc.).
The purpose of context structures is to cache large precomputed data tables that are expensive to construct, and also to maintain the randomization data for blinding.
Do not create a new context object for each operation, as construction is far slower than all other API calls (~100 times slower than an ECDSA verification).
A constructed context can safely be used from multiple threads simultaneously, but API calls that take a non-const pointer to a context need exclusive access to it. In particular this is the case for secp256k1_context_destroy, secp256k1_context_preallocated_destroy, and secp256k1_context_randomize.
Regarding randomization, either do it once at creation time (in which case you do not need any locking for the other calls), or use a read-write lock.

| typedef int(* secp256k1_nonce_function) (unsigned char *nonce32, const unsigned char *msg32, const unsigned char *key32, const unsigned char *algo16, void *data, unsigned int attempt) |
A pointer to a function to deterministically generate a nonce.
Returns: 1 if a nonce was successfully generated. 0 will cause signing to fail. Out: nonce32: pointer to a 32-byte array to be filled by the function. In: msg32: the 32-byte message hash being verified (will not be NULL) key32: pointer to a 32-byte secret key (will not be NULL) algo16: pointer to a 16-byte array describing the signature algorithm (will be NULL for ECDSA for compatibility). data: Arbitrary data pointer that is passed through. attempt: how many iterations we have tried to find a nonce. This will almost always be 0, but different attempt values are required to result in a different nonce.
Except for test cases, this function should compute some cryptographic hash of the message, the algorithm, the key and the attempt.

Opaque data structure that holds rewriteable "scratch space".
The purpose of this structure is to replace dynamic memory allocations, because we target architectures where this may not be available. It is essentially a resizable (within specified parameters) block of bytes, which is initially created either by memory allocation or TODO as a pointer into some fixed rewritable space.
Unlike the context object, this cannot safely be shared between threads without additional synchronization logic.

| SECP256K1_API secp256k1_context * secp256k1_context_clone | ( | const secp256k1_context * | ctx | ) |
Copy a secp256k1 context object (into dynamically allocated memory).
This function uses malloc to allocate memory. It is guaranteed that malloc is called at most once for every call of this function. If you need to avoid dynamic memory allocation entirely, see the functions in secp256k1_preallocated.h.
Returns: a newly created context object. Args: ctx: an existing context to copy (cannot be NULL)

| SECP256K1_API secp256k1_context * secp256k1_context_create | ( | unsigned int | flags | ) |
Create a secp256k1 context object (in dynamically allocated memory).
This function uses malloc to allocate memory. It is guaranteed that malloc is called at most once for every call of this function. If you need to avoid dynamic memory allocation entirely, see the functions in secp256k1_preallocated.h.
Returns: a newly created context object. In: flags: which parts of the context to initialize.

Definition at line 152 of file secp256k1.c.
| SECP256K1_API void secp256k1_context_destroy | ( | secp256k1_context * | ctx | ) |
Destroy a secp256k1 context object (created in dynamically allocated memory).
The context pointer may not be used afterwards.
The context to destroy must have been created using secp256k1_context_create or secp256k1_context_clone. If the context has instead been created using secp256k1_context_preallocated_create or secp256k1_context_preallocated_clone, the behaviour is undefined. In that case, secp256k1_context_preallocated_destroy must be used instead.
Args: ctx: an existing context to destroy, constructed using secp256k1_context_create or secp256k1_context_clone

| SECP256K1_API SECP256K1_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT int secp256k1_context_randomize | ( | secp256k1_context * | ctx, |
| const unsigned char * | seed32 | ||
| ) |
Updates the context randomization to protect against side-channel leakage.
Returns: 1: randomization successfully updated or nothing to randomize 0: error Args: ctx: pointer to a context object (cannot be NULL) In: seed32: pointer to a 32-byte random seed (NULL resets to initial state)
While secp256k1 code is written to be constant-time no matter what secret values are, it's possible that a future compiler may output code which isn't, and also that the CPU may not emit the same radio frequencies or draw the same amount power for all values.
This function provides a seed which is combined into the blinding value: that blinding value is added before each multiplication (and removed afterwards) so that it does not affect function results, but shields against attacks which rely on any input-dependent behaviour.
This function has currently an effect only on contexts initialized for signing because randomization is currently used only for signing. However, this is not guaranteed and may change in the future. It is safe to call this function on contexts not initialized for signing; then it will have no effect and return 1.
You should call this after secp256k1_context_create or secp256k1_context_clone (and secp256k1_context_preallocated_create or secp256k1_context_clone, resp.), and you may call this repeatedly afterwards.

| void(*)(const char *message, void *data) | fun, | ||
| const void * | data | ||
| ) |
Set a callback function to be called when an internal consistency check fails.
The default is crashing.
This can only trigger in case of a hardware failure, miscompilation, memory corruption, serious bug in the library, or other error would can otherwise result in undefined behaviour. It will not trigger due to mere incorrect usage of the API (see secp256k1_context_set_illegal_callback for that). After this callback returns, anything may happen, including crashing.
Args: ctx: an existing context object (cannot be NULL) In: fun: a pointer to a function to call when an internal error occurs, taking a message and an opaque pointer (NULL restores the default handler, see secp256k1_context_set_illegal_callback for details). data: the opaque pointer to pass to fun above.

| void(*)(const char *message, void *data) | fun, | ||
| const void * | data | ||
| ) |
Set a callback function to be called when an illegal argument is passed to an API call.
It will only trigger for violations that are mentioned explicitly in the header.
The philosophy is that these shouldn't be dealt with through a specific return value, as calling code should not have branches to deal with the case that this code itself is broken.
On the other hand, during debug stage, one would want to be informed about such mistakes, and the default (crashing) may be inadvisable. When this callback is triggered, the API function called is guaranteed not to cause a crash, though its return value and output arguments are undefined.
When this function has not been called (or called with fn==NULL), then the default handler will be used. The library provides a default handler which writes the message to stderr and calls abort. This default handler can be replaced at link time if the preprocessor macro USE_EXTERNAL_DEFAULT_CALLBACKS is defined, which is the case if the build has been configured with –enable-external-default-callbacks. Then the following two symbols must be provided to link against:
Args: ctx: an existing context object (cannot be NULL) In: fun: a pointer to a function to call when an illegal argument is passed to the API, taking a message and an opaque pointer. (NULL restores the default handler.) data: the opaque pointer to pass to fun above.

With ECDSA a third-party can forge a second distinct signature of the same message, given a single initial signature, but without knowing the key. This is done by negating the S value modulo the order of the curve, 'flipping' the sign of the random point R which is not included in the signature.
Forgery of the same message isn't universally problematic, but in systems where message malleability or uniqueness of signatures is important this can cause issues. This forgery can be blocked by all verifiers forcing signers to use a normalized form.
The lower-S form reduces the size of signatures slightly on average when variable length encodings (such as DER) are used and is cheap to verify, making it a good choice. Security of always using lower-S is assured because anyone can trivially modify a signature after the fact to enforce this property anyway.
The lower S value is always between 0x1 and 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF5D576E7357A4501DDFE92F46681B20A0, inclusive.
No other forms of ECDSA malleability are known and none seem likely, but there is no formal proof that ECDSA, even with this additional restriction, is free of other malleability. Commonly used serialization schemes will also accept various non-unique encodings, so care should be taken when this property is required for an application.
The secp256k1_ecdsa_sign function will by default create signatures in the lower-S form, and secp256k1_ecdsa_verify will not accept others. In case signatures come from a system that cannot enforce this property, secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_normalize must be called before verification.

Parse an ECDSA signature in compact (64 bytes) format.
Returns: 1 when the signature could be parsed, 0 otherwise. Args: ctx: a secp256k1 context object Out: sig: a pointer to a signature object In: input64: a pointer to the 64-byte array to parse
The signature must consist of a 32-byte big endian R value, followed by a 32-byte big endian S value. If R or S fall outside of [0..order-1], the encoding is invalid. R and S with value 0 are allowed in the encoding.
After the call, sig will always be initialized. If parsing failed or R or S are zero, the resulting sig value is guaranteed to fail validation for any message and public key.

Parse a DER ECDSA signature.
Returns: 1 when the signature could be parsed, 0 otherwise. Args: ctx: a secp256k1 context object Out: sig: a pointer to a signature object In: input: a pointer to the signature to be parsed inputlen: the length of the array pointed to be input
This function will accept any valid DER encoded signature, even if the encoded numbers are out of range.
After the call, sig will always be initialized. If parsing failed or the encoded numbers are out of range, signature validation with it is guaranteed to fail for every message and public key.

Verify an ECDSA signature.
Returns: 1: correct signature 0: incorrect or unparseable signature Args: ctx: a secp256k1 context object, initialized for verification. In: sig: the signature being verified (cannot be NULL) msghash32: the 32-byte message hash being verified (cannot be NULL). The verifier must make sure to apply a cryptographic hash function to the message by itself and not accept an msghash32 value directly. Otherwise, it would be easy to create a "valid" signature without knowledge of the secret key. See also https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/81116/35586 for more background on this topic. pubkey: pointer to an initialized public key to verify with (cannot be NULL)
To avoid accepting malleable signatures, only ECDSA signatures in lower-S form are accepted.
If you need to accept ECDSA signatures from sources that do not obey this rule, apply secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_normalize to the signature prior to validation, but be aware that doing so results in malleable signatures.
For details, see the comments for that function.

Compute a tagged hash as defined in BIP-340.
This is useful for creating a message hash and achieving domain separation through an application-specific tag. This function returns SHA256(SHA256(tag)||SHA256(tag)||msg). Therefore, tagged hash implementations optimized for a specific tag can precompute the SHA256 state after hashing the tag hashes.
Returns 0 if the arguments are invalid and 1 otherwise. Args: ctx: pointer to a context object Out: hash32: pointer to a 32-byte array to store the resulting hash In: tag: pointer to an array containing the tag taglen: length of the tag array msg: pointer to an array containing the message msglen: length of the message array
