Bitcoin/address validation

From Rosetta Code
Revision as of 11:18, 24 October 2020 by rosettacode>Lscrd (Added a test on the first address character in order to detect invalid addresses such as "BZbvjr".)
Warning: Many of these snippets are incomplete. It is recommended that you use an established library for any projects that are likely to see external use
Task
Bitcoin/address validation
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.


Task

Write a program that takes a bitcoin address as argument, and checks whether or not this address is valid.

A bitcoin address uses a base58 encoding, which uses an alphabet of the characters 0 .. 9, A ..Z, a .. z, but without the four characters:

  •   0   zero
  •   O   uppercase oh
  •   I   uppercase eye
  •   l   lowercase ell


With this encoding, a bitcoin address encodes 25 bytes:

  • the first byte is the version number, which will be zero for this task ;
  • the next twenty bytes are a RIPEMD-160 digest, but you don't have to know that for this task: you can consider them a pure arbitrary data ;
  • the last four bytes are a checksum check. They are the first four bytes of a double SHA-256 digest of the previous 21 bytes.


To check the bitcoin address, you must read the first twenty-one bytes, compute the checksum, and check that it corresponds to the last four bytes.

The program can either return a boolean value or throw an exception when not valid.

You can use a digest library for SHA-256.


Example of a bitcoin address

1AGNa15ZQXAZUgFiqJ2i7Z2DPU2J6hW62i

It doesn't belong to anyone and is part of the test suite of the bitcoin software.
You can change a few characters in this string and check that it'll fail the test.

For those looking at examples here to try and work out what is required, the n.to_bytes() call is equivalent to this code which converts a (long) integer into individual bytes of a byte array in a particular order:
<lang python>>>> n = 2491969579123783355964723219455906992268673266682165637887

>>> length = 25 >>> list( reversed(range(length)) ) [24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0] >>> assert n.to_bytes(length, 'big') == bytes( (n >> i*8) & 0xff for i in reversed(range(length))) >>> </lang>

Seed7

The Seed7 library encoding.s7i defines the function fromBase58, which decodes a Base58 encoded string. The Seed7 library msgdigest.s7i defines the function sha256, which computes a SHA-256 message digest. No external library is needed.

  1. How to check bitcoin address validity

proc bitcoin_addressValid {address} {

   set a [base58decode $address]
   set ck [sha2::sha256 -bin [sha2::sha256 -bin [string range $a 0 end-4]]]
   if {[string range $a end-3 end] ne [string range $ck 0 3]} {

return -code error "signature does not match"

   }
   return "$address is ok"

}</lang> Testing if it works <lang tcl>puts [bitcoin_addressValid 1Q1pE5vPGEEMqRcVRMbtBK842Y6Pzo6nK9] puts [bitcoin_addressValid 1AGNa15ZQXAZUgFiqJ2i7Z2DPU2J6hW62i]</lang>

Output:

   local s=$1
   for i in {0..57}
   do s="${s//${base58[i]}/ $i}"
   done
   dc <<< "16o0d${s// /+58*}+f" 

}

checksum() {

   xxd -p -r <<<"$1" |
   openssl dgst -sha256 -binary |
   openssl dgst -sha256 -binary |
   xxd -p -c 80 |
   head -c 8

}

checkBitcoinAddress() {

   if "$1" =~ $bitcoinregex 
   then
       h=$(decodeBase58 "$1")
       checksum "00${h::${#h}-8}" |
