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.
Public key is just a point, so use the coordinates obtained previously to
initialize the PublicKey structure without jumping through the hoops of
encoding/decoding.
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).
pkg/core/transaction/attribute.go:67:14: should omit type uint8 from declaration of var urllen; it will be inferred from the right-hand side
pkg/crypto/keys/publickey.go:184:8: should omit type []byte from declaration of var b; it will be inferred from the right-hand side
pkg/network/payload/version_test.go:15:12: should omit type bool from declaration of var relay; it will be inferred from the right-hand side
Refs. #213.
Fixes things like:
* exported type/method/function X should have comment or be unexported
* comment on exported type/method/function X should be of the form "X ..."
(with optional leading article)
Refs. #213.
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
Simplifies a lot of code and removes some duplication. Unfortunately I had to
move test_util random functions in same commit to avoid cycle
dependencies. One of these random functions was also used in core/transaction
testing, to simplify things I've just dropped it there and used a static
string (which is nice to have for a test anyway).
There is still sha256 left in wallet (but it needs to pass Hash structure into
the signing function).
Go's Hash is explicitly specified to never return an error on Write(), and our
own decoding functions only check for length which is gonna be right in every
case so it makes no sense returning errors from these functions.
