This project implements the cryptographic primitives used in the Bitcoin system, especially elliptic curve operations and hash functions.
The code is written in two independent versions in C++ and Java. It includes a test suite of over a thousand test vectors that cover every feature provided by the library.
The library is open-source, and is written by Nayuki from the ground up. It is designed with portability and clarity in mind, and is rigorously verified for correctness and quality.
More details about features and design principles are on the main web page: https://www.nayuki.io/page/bitcoin-cryptography-library
