Message signing and verification

Every message sent to the Blockchain is in hash format, and not in plain string. So we convert the message we are signing into a SHA256 hash before.

>>> import pyflo

# ADDRESS GENERATION 
>>> a = pyflo.Address(address_type="P2PKH")
>>> a.address
'FTP7LL7QjhgKfqYX1pis18bCqEpZaGSRzZ'
>>> a.private_key.wif
'R8Gw2Mr3n2fY1ydB2X5gEehxHkdhboeUD6yw4wRtVKHaqAd9gdkK'
>>> a.private_key.hex
'16b6aca5ff6a3bf3a1332dd4edf87880b2883cb4fe16effd073e2e866aa141aa'
>>> a.public_key.hex

# CONVERT MESSAGE INTO SHA-256 HASH 
>>> pyflo.sha256(b'vivek'.hex())

'a3da73976501812cd7b821a20bfb09af0a6a891e419cdfb761fb19a92c914242'
>>> msg = b'vivek'.hex()
>>> msg_hash_hex = pyflo.sha256(msg).hex()

# SIGN AND VERIFY THE MESSAGE

true

The sign_message_standard_ops function verifies with RanchiMall standard operations. Things to note: The function now takes 2 parameters -

1. Message in string ( not hex-encoded string)
2. Private key in wif (not bytes etc.) The hex parameter has been removed as we are always returning hex in standard ops

New libraries used - hashlib The elliptical curve folder, holds the code taken from starkbank ecdsa (MIT License) no other additional dependencies

The signature generated with sign_message_standard_ops cannot be verified using purely Pyflo. Users can use the following API to verify signatures

** Python **

import requests

url = 'https://flo-sign-validator.duckdns.org'
myobj = {'floID': floID,
            'pubKey': pubKey,
            'message': message,
            'sign': sign}

x = requests.post(url, json = myobj)
print(x.text)

** JavaScript **

fetch("https://flo-sign-validator.duckdns.org", {
  method: "POST",
  body: JSON.stringify({
    floID: floID,
    pubKey: pubKey,
    message: message,
    sign: sign
  }),
  headers: {
    "Content-type": "application/json; charset=UTF-8",
  },
})
  .then(function (response) {
    return response.json();
  })
  .then(function (data) {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch((error) => console.error("Error:", error));

** PHP **

            function callAPI($method, $url, $data){
