aea.crypto.base

Abstract module wrapping the public and private key cryptography and ledger api.

Crypto Objects

class Crypto(Generic[EntityClass],  ABC)

Base class for a crypto object.

__init__

 | __init__(private_key_path: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs)

Initialize the crypto object.

The actual behaivour of this constructor is determined by the abstract methods 'generate_private_key()' and 'load_private_key_from_path(). Either way, the entity object will be accessible as a property.

Arguments:

  • private_key_path: the path to the private key. If None, the key will be generated by 'generate_private_key()'. If not None, the path will be processed by 'load_private_key_from_path()'.
  • kwargs: keyword arguments.

generate_private_key

 | @classmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | generate_private_key(cls) -> EntityClass

Generate a private key.

Returns:

the entity object. Implementation dependent.

load_private_key_from_path

 | @classmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | load_private_key_from_path(cls, file_name: str) -> EntityClass

Load a private key in hex format from a file.

Arguments:

  • file_name: the path to the hex file.

Returns:

the entity object.

entity

 | @property
 | entity() -> EntityClass

Return an entity object.

Returns:

an entity object

private_key

 | @property
 | @abstractmethod
 | private_key() -> str

Return a private key.

Returns:

a private key string

public_key

 | @property
 | @abstractmethod
 | public_key() -> str

Return a public key.

Returns:

a public key string

address

 | @property
 | @abstractmethod
 | address() -> str

Return the address.

Returns:

an address string

sign_message

 | @abstractmethod
 | sign_message(message: bytes, is_deprecated_mode: bool = False) -> str

Sign a message in bytes string form.

Arguments:

  • message: the message to be signed
  • is_deprecated_mode: if the deprecated signing is used

Returns:

signature of the message in string form

sign_transaction

 | @abstractmethod
 | sign_transaction(transaction: Any) -> Any

Sign a transaction in bytes string form.

Arguments:

  • transaction: the transaction to be signed

Returns:

signed transaction

dump

 | @abstractmethod
 | dump(fp: BinaryIO) -> None

Serialize crypto object as binary stream to fp (a .write()-supporting file-like object).

Arguments:

  • fp: the output file pointer. Must be set in binary mode (mode='wb')

Returns:

None

Helper Objects

class Helper(ABC)

Interface for helper class usable as Mixin for LedgerApi or as standalone class.

is_transaction_settled

 | @staticmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | is_transaction_settled(tx_receipt: Any) -> bool

Check whether a transaction is settled or not.

Arguments:

  • tx_digest: the digest associated to the transaction.

Returns:

True if the transaction has been settled, False o/w.

is_transaction_valid

 | @staticmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | is_transaction_valid(tx: Any, seller: Address, client: Address, tx_nonce: str, amount: int) -> bool

Check whether a transaction is valid or not.

Arguments:

  • tx: the transaction.
  • seller: the address of the seller.
  • client: the address of the client.
  • tx_nonce: the transaction nonce.
  • amount: the amount we expect to get from the transaction.

Returns:

True if the random_message is equals to tx['input']

generate_tx_nonce

 | @staticmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | generate_tx_nonce(seller: Address, client: Address) -> str

Generate a unique hash to distinguish txs with the same terms.

Arguments:

  • seller: the address of the seller.
  • client: the address of the client.

Returns:

return the hash in hex.

get_address_from_public_key

 | @staticmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | get_address_from_public_key(public_key: str) -> str

Get the address from the public key.

Arguments:

  • public_key: the public key

Returns:

str

recover_message

 | @staticmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | recover_message(message: bytes, signature: str, is_deprecated_mode: bool = False) -> Tuple[Address, ...]

Recover the addresses from the hash.

Arguments:

  • message: the message we expect
  • signature: the transaction signature
  • is_deprecated_mode: if the deprecated signing was used

Returns:

the recovered addresses

get_hash

 | @staticmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | get_hash(message: bytes) -> str

Get the hash of a message.

Arguments:

  • message: the message to be hashed.

Returns:

the hash of the message.

LedgerApi Objects

class LedgerApi(Helper,  ABC)

Interface for ledger APIs.

api

 | @property
 | @abstractmethod
 | api() -> Any

Get the underlying API object.

This can be used for low-level operations with the concrete ledger APIs. If there is no such object, return None.

get_balance

 | @abstractmethod
 | get_balance(address: Address) -> Optional[int]

Get the balance of a given account.

This usually takes the form of a web request to be waited synchronously.

Arguments:

  • address: the address.

Returns:

the balance.

get_transfer_transaction

 | @abstractmethod
 | get_transfer_transaction(sender_address: Address, destination_address: Address, amount: int, tx_fee: int, tx_nonce: str, **kwargs, ,) -> Optional[Any]

Submit a transfer transaction to the ledger.

Arguments:

  • sender_address: the sender address of the payer.
  • destination_address: the destination address of the payee.
  • amount: the amount of wealth to be transferred.
  • tx_fee: the transaction fee.
  • tx_nonce: verifies the authenticity of the tx

Returns:

the transfer transaction

send_signed_transaction
