BIP-0322: Generic Signed Message Format
The aim of this repository is to demonstrate how the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 0322 for a generic signed message format could be used to sign Verifiable Credentials from a Bitcoin address. Ultimately, this address will be identified through a did:btcr DID.
This repository makes use of the buidl-python Bitcoin library developed by Jimmy Song. It also uses Jupyter Notebooks to document the approach taken when implementing the BIP 0322 specification.
Currently implemented in repo:
- BIP 322 Walkthrough Signing, Verification
- BIP 322 Buidl Python API and library. This has been submitted as a P.R. to buidl-python
- BIP 322 p2sh multisig
- BIP 322 p2wsh multisig
- WIP BIP322 Signatures for Verifiable Credentials
- WIP BIP322 p2tr signature
