Gerbil-Crypto

Gerbil-crypto is collection of cryptographic primitives that complement those included in Gerbil itself (as interfaced from OpenSSL).

Current primitives are sufficient to interface with Ethereum: keccak256 and secp256k1.

More primitives may be added in the future.

Installation instructions

Dependencies

You need to first install the Gerbil Scheme compiler. Gerbil depends on openssl so you'll have it installed.

Then you must install the Gerbil Clan utilities and the Gerbil-POO object system, which gxpkg may automatically download for you.

Finally, you need to install the following libraries:

• libsecp256k1: On Debian/Ubuntu, install with apt install libsecp256k1-dev
• libsodium: On Debian/Ubuntu, install with apt install libsodium-dev

The nix recipe for gerbil-crypto installs these dependencies automatically. YMMV on other Linux distributions.

Building

Once all dependencies are installed, you may build with:

./build.ss

Test with:

./unit-tests.ss
