Verifying Signatures on Bitcoin Nodes Using JavaScript/TypeScript
In order 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 discuss how to achieve this using JavaScript/TypeScript.
Setting Up the Environment
Before we begin, make sure that Node.js is installed on your system. We will also use the “crypto” module to generate a SHA-256 hash of the user’s message.
const crypto = require('crypto');
Signing a Message with Bitcoin-JS
Bitcoin-JS is a JavaScript library that allows us to interact with Bitcoin nodes. We can sign our message using the following 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 = request('bitcoinjs-lib');
async function verifySignature(node, signature, message) {
const publicKey = await node.getPublicKey();
const isValid = await bitcoinjsLib.verifySignature(signature, publickey, message);
return is valid;
}
Usage Example
Here is an example of how to use the functions:
const bitcoinNode = '
const privateKey = await bitcoinNode.getPrivateKey();
// Sign the message with Bitcoin-JS
signMessage(bitcoinNode, Sign this message to verify that you are the owner of the wallet, (err, signature) => {
if (err) console.error(err);
else {
const publicKey = await bitcoinNode.getPublicKey();
const isValid = verifySignature(bitcoinNode, signature, Sign this message to verify that you are the owner of the wallet);
console.log(isValid); // Must be true
}
});
Error Handling
When using Bitcoin-JS, it is essential to handle errors properly. We can do this by understanding the exceptions that may occur.
signMessage(bitcoinNode, Sign this message to prove that you are the owner of the wallet, (err) => {
if (err) console.error(err);
});
Following the steps and examples below, we can use JavaScript/TypeScript to verify the signature of a user’s message on a Bitcoin node.
