A tiny library to perform arithmetic operations on elliptic curves in pure python

Project description

# tinyec
A tiny library to perform arithmetic operations on elliptic curves in pure python. No dependencies.

**This is not a library suitable for production.** It is useful for security professionals to understand the inner workings of EC, and be able to play with pre-defined curves.

## installation
`pip install tinyec`

## usage
There are 2 main classes:
* Curve(), which describes an elliptic curve in a finite field
* Point(), which describes a point belonging to an EC

**Warning** Calculation on points outside the curve are allowed. They will only raise a warning.

### working on existing curves
Example use on the NIST routine samples => https://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/nist-routines.pdf:
```python
>>> import tinyec.ec as ec
>>> import tinyec.registry as reg
>>> c = reg.get_curve("secp192r1")
>>> s = ec.Point(c, 0xd458e7d127ae671b0c330266d246769353a012073e97acf8, 0x325930500d851f336bddc050cf7fb11b5673a1645086df3b)
>>> t = ec.Point(c, 0xf22c4395213e9ebe67ddecdd87fdbd01be16fb059b9753a4, 0x264424096af2b3597796db48f8dfb41fa9cecc97691a9c79)

### working on custom curves
If needed, you can also work on your own curves. Here we take a a prime field 97, with a generator point (1, 2), an order 5 and a cofactor of 1:
```python
>>> import tinyec.ec as ec
>>> field = ec.SubGroup(97, (1, 2), 5, 1)
>>> curve = ec.Curve(2, 3, field)
tinyec/ec.py:115: UserWarning: Point (1, 2) is not on curve "undefined" => y^2 = x^3 + 2x + 3 (mod 97)
warnings.warn("Point (%d, %d) is not on curve %s" % (self.x, self.y, self.curve))
>>> # Warning is generated because the generator point does not belong to the curve
>>> p1 = ec.Point(curve, -5, 3)
>>> p1.on_curve
False
>>> p2 = ec.Point(curve, 22, 5)
>>> p2.on_curve
True
>>> print(p1 + p2)
(18, 42) off "undefined" => y^2 = x^3 + 2x + 3 (mod 97)
```
