All credit goes to them. For more information on Elliptic Curve Cryptography please read [this fine article](http://www.matyasdanter.com/2010/12/elliptic-curve-php-oop-dsa-and-diffie-hellman/). The library supports the following curves: - secp112r1 - secp256k1 - nistp192 - nistp224 - nistp256 / secp256r1 - nistp384 / secp384r1 - nistp521 During ECDSA, a random value `k` is required. It is acceptable to use a true RNG to generate this value, but should the same `k` value ever be repeatedly used for a key, an attacker can recover that signing key. The HMAC random generator can derive a deterministic k value from the message hash and private key, voiding this concern. The library uses a non-branching Montgomery ladder for scalar multiplication, as it's constant time and avoids secret dependant branches. ### License [](#license) This package is released under the MIT license. ### Requirements [](#requirements) - PHP 7.0+ or PHP 8.0+ - composer - ext-gmp Support for older PHP versions: - v0.4.x: php ^5.6|<7.2 - v0.5.x: php ^7.0 - v1.0.x: php ^7.0|^8.0 ### Installation [](#installation) You can install this library via Composer : `composer require shanecurran/phpecc` ### Contribute [](#contribute) When sending in pull requests, please make sure to run the `make` command. The default target runs all PHPUnit and PHPCS tests. All tests must validate for your contribution to be accepted. It's also always a good idea to check the results of the [Scrutinizer analysis](https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/shanecurran/phpecc/) for your pull requests. ### Usage [](#usage) Examples: - [Key generation](./examples/key_generation.php) - [ECDH exchange](./examples/ecdh_exchange.php) - [Signature creation](./examples/creating_signature.php) - [Signature verification](./examples/verify_signature.php) ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 66% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity33 Limited adoption so far Community24 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity40 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 61.9% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
