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").
