Signing Key

new ethers.utils.SigningKey( privateKey )
source

Create a new SigningKey for privateKey.

signingKey.privateKey ⇒ string< DataHexString< 32 > >

The private key for this Signing Key.

signingKey.publicKey ⇒ string< DataHexString< 65 > >

The uncompressed public key for this Signing Key. It will always be 65 bytes (130 nibbles) and begine with `0x04`.

signingKey.compressedPublicKey ⇒ string< DataHexString< 33 > >

The compressed public key for this Signing Key. It will always be 33 bytes (66 nibbles) and begine with either `0x02` or `0x03`.

signingKey.signDigest( digest ) ⇒ Signature

Sign the digest and return the signature.

signingKey.computeSharedSecret( otherKey ) ⇒ string< DataHexString< 32 > >
source

Compute the ECDH shared secret with otherKey. The otherKey may be either a public key or a private key, but generally will be a public key from another party.

It is best practice that each party computes the hash of this before using it as a symmetric key.

SigningKey.isSigningKey( anObject ) ⇒ boolean
source

Returns true if anObject is a SigningKey.

##
Other Functions

ethers.utils.verifyMessage( message , signature ) ⇒ string< Address >
source

Returns the address that signed message producing signature. The signature may have a non-canonical v (i.e. does not need to be 27 or 28), in which case it will be normalized to compute the `recoveryParam` which will then be used to compute the address; this allows systems which use the v to encode additional data (such as EIP-155) to be used since the v parameter is still completely non-ambiguous.

ethers.utils.recoverPublicKey( digest , signature ) ⇒ string< DataHexString< 65 > >
ethers.utils.computePublicKey( key [ , compressed = false ] ) ⇒ string< DataHexString >

Computes the public key of key, optionally compressing it. The key can be any form of public key (compressed or uncompressed) or a private key.
