Represents an abstract public key.

This class provides a common interface for verifying signatures associated with the public key. It allows for the retrieval of the raw public key bytes and the public key in a hexadecimal string format.

Methods

bcsToBytes

bcsToBytes(): Uint8Array
Serializes a Serializable value to its BCS representation. This function is the TypeScript SDK equivalent of bcs::to_bytes in Move.

Returns Uint8Array
the BCS representation of the Serializable instance as a byte buffer.
Inherited from Serializable.bcsToBytes
- Defined in src/bcs/serializer.ts:29

bcsToHex

bcsToHex(): Hex
Converts the BCS-serialized bytes of a value into a Hex instance. This function provides a Hex representation of the BCS-serialized data for easier handling and manipulation.

Returns Hex
A Hex instance with the BCS-serialized bytes loaded into its underlying Uint8Array.
Inherited from Serializable.bcsToHex
- Defined in src/bcs/serializer.ts:40

`Abstract`serialize

serialize(serializer): void
Parameters
- serializer: Serializer
Returns void
Inherited from Serializable.serialize
- Defined in src/bcs/serializer.ts:22

toString

toString(): string
Get the public key as a hex string with a 0x prefix.

Returns string
The public key in hex format.
Overrides Serializable.toString
- Defined in src/core/crypto/publicKey.ts:44

toStringWithoutPrefix

toStringWithoutPrefix(): string
Returns the hex string representation of the Serializable value without the 0x prefix.

Returns string
the hex format as a string without 0x prefix.
Inherited from Serializable.toStringWithoutPrefix
- Defined in src/bcs/serializer.ts:49

toUint8Array

toUint8Array(): Uint8Array
Get the raw public key bytes

Returns Uint8Array
- Defined in src/core/crypto/publicKey.ts:35

`Abstract`verifySignature

verifySignature(args): boolean
Verifies that the private key associated with this public key signed the message with the given signature.
Parameters
- args: VerifySignatureArgs
Returns boolean
- Defined in src/core/crypto/publicKey.ts:30
