Crypto

The Crypto group provides essential cryptographic operations used throughout the Norsh ecosystem. These endpoints are responsible for generating secure key pairs, deriving cryptographic addresses, and performing verifiable transformations based on public keys.

All endpoints are compliant with the NTP-3: Cryptography and Hash Specification, which defines:

The use of SHA3-256 as the default hashing algorithm

Elliptic curve cryptography based on ECDSA with secp256r1 (NIST P-256)

Multi-format support for encoding keys (Base64, Hex, PEM)

Deterministic and stateless address derivation methods

Available Endpoints

Generate Public and Private Key Pair
Creates a new ECDSA key pair in multiple encoding formats for cryptographic use.

Generate Address from Public Key
Computes a cryptographic address from a provided public key using SHA3-256.

These APIs are stateless, interoperable, and fully aligned with the cryptographic standards enforced by NTP-3. They serve as the foundation for identity generation, transaction validation, and smart element authentication across the platform.
