Implement secp256k1 and secp256r1 recover interops, closes#1003.
Note:
We have to implement Koblitz-related math to recover keys properly
with Neo.Cryptography.Secp256k1Recover interop as far as standard
go elliptic package supports short-form Weierstrass curve with a=-3
only (see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/26776 for details).
However, it's not the best choise to have a lot of such math in our
project, so it would be better to use ready-made solution for
Koblitz-related cryptography.
Frequently one needs to check if struct serializes/deserializes
properly. This commit implements helpers for such cases including:
1. JSON
2. io.Serializable interface
The logic here is that we'll have all binary encoding/decoding done via our io
package, which simplifies error handling. This functionality doesn't belong to
util, so it's moved.
This also expands BufBinWriter with Reset() method to fit the needs of core
package.
PublicKey() for PrivateKey now just can't fail and it makes no sense to return
an error from it. There is a lot of associated functionality for which this
also is true, so adjust it accordingly and simplify a lot of code.
As NEO uses P256 we can use standard crypto/elliptic library for almost
everything, the only exception being decompression of the Y coordinate. For
some reason the standard library only supports uncompressed format in its
Marshal()/Unmarshal() functions. elliptic.P256() is known to have
constant-time implementation, so it fixes#245 (and the decompression using
big.Int operates on public key, so nobody really cares about that part being
constant-time).
New decompress function is inspired by
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46283760, even though the previous one
really did the same thing just in a little less obvious way.
It makes no sense to provide an API for throw-away public keys, so obtain it
via a new real keypair generation where appropriate (and that's only needed
for testing).
And drop associated _pkg.dev remnants (refs. #307).
Original `dev` branch had two separate packages for public and private keys,
but those are so intertwined (`TestHelper` subpackage is a proof) that it's
better unite them and all associated code (like WIF and NEP-2) in one
package. This patch also:
* creates internal `keytestcases` package to share things with wallet (maybe
it'll be changed in some future)
* ports some tests from `dev`
* ports Verify() method for public key from `dev`
* expands TestPrivateKey() with public key check
