Expand description

Errors which may occur while processing signatures and keypairs.

All these errors represent a failed signature when they occur in the context of verifying a sitgnature, including in deserializaing for verification. We expose the distinction among them primarily for debugging purposes.

This error may arise due to:

  • Being given bytes with a length different to what was expected.

  • A problem decompressing r, a curve point, in the Signature, or the curve point for a PublicKey.

  • A problem with the format of s, a scalar, in the Signature. This is only raised if the high-bit of the scalar was set. (Scalars must only be constructed from 255-bit integers.)

  • Multi-signature protocol errors

Variants

EquationFalse

A signature verification equation failed.

We emphasise that all variants represent a failed signature, not only this one.

PointDecompressionError

Invalid point provided, usually to verify methods.

ScalarFormatError

Invalid scalar provided, usually to Signature::from_bytes.

BytesLengthError

Fields

name: &'static str

Identifies the type returning the error

description: &'static str

Describes the type returning the error

length: usize

Length expected by the constructor in bytes

An error in the length of bytes handed to a constructor.

To use this, pass a string specifying the name of the type which is returning the error, and the length in bytes which its constructor expects.

NotMarkedSchnorrkel

Signature not marked as schnorrkel, maybe try ed25519 instead.

MuSigAbsent

Fields

musig_stage: MultiSignatureStage

Identifies the multi-signature protocol stage during which the error occured.

There is no record of the preceeding multi-signautre protocol stage for the specified public key.

MuSigInconsistent

Fields

musig_stage: MultiSignatureStage

Identifies the multi-signature protocol stage during which the error occured.

duplicate: bool

Set true if the stage was reached correctly once but this duplicate disagrees.

For this public key, there are either conflicting records for the preceeding multi-signautre protocol stage or else duplicate duplicate records for the current stage.
