Crypto Currency for PHP

A collection of common utilities and libraries in PHP for use with Bitcoin and Zetacoin compatable crypto currencies ustilizing the secp256k1 ECDSA curve. Full documentation and extended examples are avialable at: http://www.unibia.com/unibianet/developer/crypto-currency-php-libraries-pure-php-zetacoin-and-bitcoin-compatable-crypto-currencies

The code may be messy and all over the place, but I'm still pulling things together as I merge this code base with items from the PHPECC codebase. The current features include:

• Private Key Generation and Loading
• Public Address Print Out
• Message Signing and Verification
• Address Generation and Validation
• Address compression, de-compression, encoding, and decoding.
• Supports Arbitrary Address Prefixes

Currently, the following items are working

• Base58.class.php
• SECp256k1.class.php
• PointMathGMP.class.php
• AddressValidation.class.php
• AddressCodec.class.php
• PrivateKey.class.php
• Signature.class.php
• Wallet.class.php

Planned features include:

• Transaction Generation
• Transaction Signing

No ETA.

Requirements

The current implementation requires the php5-gmp extension. Future version will automaticly detect and switch between GMP and BCMATH

Usage

AddressCodec

The AddressCodec class provides a simple interface for common Zetacoin/Bitcoin (and compatable) address functions. Load the following classes in your PHP code:

include 'Base58.class.php';
include 'PointMathGMP.class.php';
include 'AddressCodec.class.php';

The most basic example, get the X and Y coordnates of a DER Encoded public key (old format)

$derPublicKey = '04a34b99f22c790c4e36b2b3c2c35a36db06226e41c692fc82b8b56ac1c540c5bd5b8dec5235a0fa8722476c7709c02559e3aa73aa03918ba2d492eea75abea235';

$point = AddressCodec::Point($derPublicKey);

echo $point['x'];
echo $point['y'];

That will return an array with both X and Y:

X = a34b99f22c790c4e36b2b3c2c35a36db06226e41c692fc82b8b56ac1c540c5bd
Y = 5b8dec5235a0fa8722476c7709c02559e3aa73aa03918ba2d492eea75abea235

The more usefull method is with the new compressed public keys used by modern crypto currencies:

$compressedPublicKey = '03a34b99f22c790c4e36b2b3c2c35a36db06226e41c692fc82b8b56ac1c540c5bd';

$point = AddressCodec::Decompress($compressedPublicKey);

echo $point['x'];
echo $point['y'];

Works the other way around too:

$compressedPublicKey = AddressCodec::Compress($point);
$derPublicKey = AddressCodec::Hex($point);

On to the more usefull items, Encode a public key into a Crypto Currency address. First Hash your public key then Encode it.

$hash = AddressCodec::Hash($compressedPublicKey);
$address = AddressCodec::Encode($hash);

echo $address;

Gives you:

Address = 1F3sAm6ZtwLAUnj7d38pGFxtP3RVEvtsbV

Specify your own prefix (in HEX):

$address = AddressCodec::Encode($hash, "50");

Gives you:

Address = ZS67wSwchNQFuTt3abnK4HjpjQ2x79YZed

Wallet

The Wallet class provides a simple interface to common Zetacoin/Bitcoin (and compatable) functions. At the moment, the wallet can load a private key, display it's associated receive address, and of course, message signing/verification!

To use this, load the following classes in your PHP code:

include 'Base58.class.php';
include 'SECp256k1.class.php';
include 'PointMathGMP.class.php';
include 'AddressCodec.class.php';
include 'PrivateKey.class.php';
include 'Wallet.class.php';
include 'Signature.class.php';

First you must generate or specify a PrivateKey:

$private = new PrivateKey('1234567890abcdefNOTAREALKEY23456789012345678789');
# Or
$private = new PrivateKey();

Load this PrivateKey into the Wallet. Optionally set the network prefix (aka address version/prefix) as a HEX, and network name.

$wallet = new Wallet($private);
# Setting "Z" for "Zetacoin" Address version is 80 in decimal. '50' in HEX.
$wallet->setNetworkPrefix("50");
$wallet->setNetworkName("Zetacoin");

Print out your recieve address:

echo $wallet->getAddress();

Sign a message in pure PHP!!!

echo $message =  $wallet->signMessage("Test 1234");

Puts out something like:

-----BEGIN ZETACOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Test 1234
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
ZJFVhALJwWV1uz8m1YoXXyvNqFMu4h7A94
H7wVT/QJEd3xIonGorLsDxXHg8DE5byo9fcD5h/LHH02KX7nFKjyvH7AE7PjioCQid4qKOjuMh430G37gKIupDc=
-----END ZETACOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Verify a signed message using the Satoshi client's standard message signature format. A PrivateKey is not required when you only need to verify signed messsages.

$message = PHP_EOL;
$message .= "-----BEGIN ZETACOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----" . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Test 1234" . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----" . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "ZJFVhALJwWV1uz8m1YoXXyvNqFMu4h7A94" . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "H7wVT/QJEd3xIonGorLsDxXHg8DE5byo9fcD5h/LHH02KX7nFKjyvH7AE7PjioCQid4qKOjuMh430G37gKIupDc=" . PHP_EOL;
$message .= "-----END ZETACOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----";

$wallet = new Wallet();
$wallet->setNetworkPrefix("50");
$wallet->setNetworkName("Zetacoin");

echo $wallet->checkSignatureForRawMessage($message) ? 'Verifies' : 'Fails';

Note that the line endings are important since the parser is quite picky at the moment This will be fixed in a later release.

Yes, it's pure PHP!

If you don't want to bother with line endings, you can feed the components in manually:

$message = "Test 1234";
$address = "ZJFVhALJwWV1uz8m1YoXXyvNqFMu4h7A94";
$signature = "H7wVT/QJEd3xIonGorLsDxXHg8DE5byo9fcD5h/LHH02KX7nFKjyvH7AE7PjioCQid4qKOjuMh430G37gKIupDc=";

$wallet = new Wallet();
$wallet->setNetworkPrefix("50");
$wallet->setNetworkName("Zetacoin");

echo $wallet->checkSignatureForMessage($address, $signature, $message) ? 'Verifies' : 'Fails';
