secp256k1.swift
A Swift cryptography library providing ECDSA, Schnorr signatures, ECDH, and zero-knowledge proofs on the secp256k1 curve for Bitcoin and Nostr applications.
What is secp256k1.swift?
swift-secp256k1 is a Swift library that provides cryptographic functions on the secp256k1 elliptic curve, which is the standard curve used in Bitcoin and Nostr. It enables developers to perform digital signatures (ECDSA and Schnorr), key agreement (ECDH), and zero-knowledge proofs within Swift applications. The library solves the need for a native, well-integrated Swift interface to the robust libsecp256k1 C library, making advanced cryptography accessible on Apple platforms and Linux.
Swift developers building applications for Bitcoin, Nostr, or other blockchain ecosystems that require secp256k1 cryptography. It's also suitable for developers creating cryptographic tools, wallets, or secure messaging platforms on iOS, macOS, or Linux.
Developers choose swift-secp256k1 because it provides a Swift-idiomatic, type-safe API that feels native to the Swift ecosystem, while being a direct binding to the battle-tested libsecp256k1 library. Its support for modern standards like Schnorr signatures (BIP-340) and MuSig2, along with optional zero-knowledge proof modules, offers a comprehensive cryptographic toolkit not readily available in other Swift libraries.
