Verifying Signatures on Bitcoin Nodes with JavaScript/TypeScript
To verify the signature of a user’s message on a Bitcoin node, we need to make sure that the signature is correct and comes from the same private key. In this article, we will talk about how to achieve this using JavaScript/TypeScript.
Environment Setup
Before we start, make sure you have Node.js installed on your system. We will also use the crypto
module to create a SHA-256 hash of the user’s message.
const crypto = require('crypto');
Signing the message with Bitcoin-JS
Bitcoin-JS is a JavaScript library that allows us to interact with Bitcoin nodes. We can sign our message using this library:
async function signMessage(node, message) {
const privateKey = await node.getPrivateKey();
const signature = await privateKey.sign(message);
return signature;
}
Verifying the signature on a Bitcoin node
After signing the message with Bitcoin-JS, we need to verify it on a Bitcoin node. For this purpose, we will use the bitcoinjs-lib
library.
const bitcoinjsLib = require('bitcoinjs-lib');
async function verifySignature(node, signature, message) {
const publicKey = await node.getPublicKey();
const isValid = await bitcoinjsLib.verifySignature(signature, publicKey, message);
return isValid;
}
Usage Example
Here is an example of how to use these functions:
const bitcoinNode = '
const privateKey = await bitcoinNode.getPrivateKey();
// Sign the message with Bitcoin-JS
signMessage(bitcoinNode, Sign this message to prove you own this wallet
, (err, signature) => {
if (err) console.error(err);
else {
const publicKey = await bitcoinNode.getPublicKey();
const isValid = verifySignature(bitcoinNode, signature, Sign this message to prove you own this wallet
);
console.log(isValid); // Should be true
}
});
Error Handling
It is essential to handle errors properly when using Bitcoin-JS. We can do this by catching any exceptions that may occur.
signMessage(bitcoinNode, Sign this message to prove you own this wallet
, (err) => {
if (err) console.error(err);
});
Following these steps and examples, we can verify the signature of a user’s message on a Bitcoin node using JavaScript/TypeScript.
