# ecrecover
FFI (NIF) export of Ethereum's ecrecover for use from Erlang.
### Prerequisites
The NIF is written in Rust, therefore the following additional build
dependencies are needed:
- Rust
- Cargo
- Cmake
### Build
Execute:
```
make
```
To disable the local build of the NIF library, e.g. to use a prebuilt binary,
use the following command:
```
ECRECOVER_DISABLE_NIF_BUILD=true make
```
## Erlang integration
The shared library uses NIF. Use the Erlang file `src/ecrecover.erl` to use this:
```
c("src/ecrecover").
c("src/ecrecover_util").
Decoded = ecrecover_util:hex_to_bin("47173285a8d7341e5e972fc677286384f802f8ef42a5ec5f03bbfa254cb01fad000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001b650acf9d3f5f0a2c799776a1254355d5f4061762a237396a99a0e0e3fc2bcd6729514a0dacb2e623ac4abd157cb18163ff942280db4d5caad66ddf941ba12e03").
List = binary:bin_to_list(Decoded).
Hash = binary:list_to_bin(lists:sublist(List, 1, 32)).
Sig = binary:list_to_bin(lists:sublist(List, 64, 65)).
Input = <<Hash/binary, 0:(8*31), Sig/binary>>.
binary:bin_to_list(Input) == binary:bin_to_list(Decoded).
Result = ecrecover:recover(Hash, Sig).
Expected = ecrecover_util:hex_to_bin("000000000000000000000000c08b5542d177ac6686946920409741463a15dddb").
binary:bin_to_list(Result) == binary:bin_to_list(Expected). %% check result
```
