        btclib is a python3 type annotated library intended for teaching and demonstration of the cryptography used in bitcoin. It is used for the [_Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology Course_](https://www.ametrano.net/bbt/) at Milano Bicocca and Politecnico di Milano.
        
        To install (and upgrade) `btclib`:
        
        ```shell
        python3 -m pip install --upgrade btclib
        ```
        
        Algorithms are not to be used in production environments: they could be broken using side-channel attacks. Moreover, they might be subjected to major refactoring without care for backward compatibility.
        
        The library includes:
        
        - modulo algebra functions (gcd, inverse, legendre symbol, square root)
        - octet / integer / point conversion functions
        - elliptic curve class
          - fast algebra implemented using Jacobian coordinates
          - double scalar multiplication (Shamir's trick)
          - point simmetry solution: odd/even, high/low, and quadratic residue
          - SEC 1 v1 and v2 curves
          - NIST curves
          - low cardinality test curves
        - ECDSA signature and DER encoding
        - Sign-to-contract notarization
        - Schnorr signature (according to bip-schnorr bitcoin standardization)
          - batch validation
          - threshold signature
          - MuSig multi-signature
        - Borromean ring signature
        - RFC-6979 to make signature schemes deterministic
        - EC Diffie-Hellman
        - Pedersen Committment
        - base58 encoding, addresses, WIFs
        - BIP32 hierarchical deterministic wallets
        - BIP39 mnemonic code for generating deterministic keys
        - Electrum standard for mnemonic code
        
        A very extensive test suite reproduces results from major official sources and covers basically 100% of the library code base.
