# Signer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Elliptic curve cryptography is used in most blockchain projects to sign transactions. Using Node.js base library we will practise simple signatures.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Instructions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Create a function `init()` that generates a cryptographic key pair on any elliptic curve and returns the public key in any format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Create a function `signer(message)` that takes as arguments a message and returns the signature of the message (using the `sha256` algorithm and the keys generated with init).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- create a function `verifier(message, pubKey, signature)` that takes as arguments a message, a public key and a signature and returns a boolean if the signature is valid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const message = "This is a message to sign";
|
||
|
|
const pubKey = init();
|
||
|
|
const signature = signer(message);
|
||
|
|
console.log(verifier(message, pubKey, signature));
|
||
|
|
// expected result :
|
||
|
|
// true
|
||
|
|
```
