📚 BCLibsSwift

Blockchain Commons publishes several open source C libraries that are useful in cryptocurrency wallets:

BCLibsSwift wraps these libraries in opinionated Swift frameworks that work across iOS devices, the iOS simulator, and Mac Catalyst builds, on both Intel (x86_64) and Apple Silicon (arm64) architectures:

  • CryptoBase.xcframework
  • BIP39.xcframework
  • Shamir.xcframework
  • SSKR.xcframework
  • BCWally.xcframework

These are universal frameworks built to run natively on these configurations:

Processor Platform
arm64 iOS
arm64 or x86_64 Mac Catalyst
arm64 or x86_64 iOS Simulator
arm64 or x86_64 macOS

Each of these frameworks includes all the C libraries upon which they are dependent, so they can be freely mixed and matched.

Installation Instructions

$ git clone https://github.com/blockchaincommons/BCLibsSwift.git
$ cd BCLibsSwift
$ ./build.sh

The resulting xcframeworks are in BCLibsSwift/build/:

  • CryptoBase.xcframework
  • BIP39.xcframework
  • Shamir.xcframework
  • SSKR.xcframework
  • BCWally.xcframework

Usage Instructions

To use one of the Swift frameworks, include the desired frameworks as above, make sure they are set to Embed and Sign, and import the API you want to use in your code:

import SSKR

Status - Release

BCLibsSwift is considered useful and stable in its present form. Two of its constituent libraries, bc-shamir and bc-sskr, have undergone independent security review and audit.

Discussions

The best place to talk about Blockchain Commons and its projects is in our GitHub Discussions areas.

Gordian Developer Community. For standards and open-source developers who want to talk about interoperable wallet specifications, please use the Discussions area of the Gordian Developer Community repo. This is where you talk about Gordian specifications such as Gordian Envelope, bc-shamir, Sharded Secret Key Reconstruction, and bc-ur as well as the larger Gordian Architecture, its Principles of independence, privacy, resilience, and openness, and its macro-architectural ideas such as functional partition (including airgapping, the original name of this community).

Blockchain Commons Discussions. For developers, interns, and patrons of Blockchain Commons, please use the discussions area of the Community repo to talk about general Blockchain Commons issues, the intern program, or topics other than those covered by the Gordian Developer Community or the Gordian User Community.

Other Questions & Problems

As an open-source, open-development community, Blockchain Commons does not have the resources to provide direct support of our projects. Please consider the discussions area as a locale where you might get answers to questions. Alternatively, please use this repository's issues feature. Unfortunately, we can not make any promises on response time.

If your company requires support to use our projects, please feel free to contact us directly about options. We may be able to offer you a contract for support from one of our contributors, or we might be able to point you to another entity who can offer the contractual support that you need.

Responsible Disclosure

We want to keep all of our software safe for everyone. If you have discovered a security vulnerability, we appreciate your help in disclosing it to us in a responsible manner. We are unfortunately not able to offer bug bounties at this time.

We do ask that you offer us good faith and use best efforts not to leak information or harm any user, their data, or our developer community. Please give us a reasonable amount of time to fix the issue before you publish it. Do not defraud our users or us in the process of discovery. We promise not to bring legal action against researchers who point out a problem provided they do their best to follow the these guidelines.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please report suspected security vulnerabilities in private via email to [email protected] (do not use this email for support). Please do NOT create publicly viewable issues for suspected security vulnerabilities.

The following keys may be used to communicate sensitive information to developers:
