Public-key-to-address

Calculate the address for a public key.

Signature

(public-key-to-address pub-key) → address

Arguments

pub-key — Guard (secp256k1-pub-key-p pub-key).

Returns

address — Type (byte-list20p address).

The address consists of the rightmost 160 bits of the 256-bit Keccak-256 hash of the serialized public key [YP:(284)]. This is equivalent to the rightmost 20 bytes of the 32-byte hash.

This function corresponds to ``part of'' the function A [YP:(284)], because it takes a public key as argument, corresponding to \mathtt{ECDSAPUBKEY}(p_\mathrm{r}) in [YP:(284)]. The function \mathtt{ECDSAPUBKEY} returns an array of 64 bytes [YP:(277)] which suggests that the public key is represented as an elliptic curve point in uncompressed form. Thus, we use the library function secp256k1-point-to-bytes to turn the public key into that form.

The function private-key-to-address calculates an address from a private key instead.
