eip4361-tools

A set of tools for working with Sign-In With Ethereum (EIP4361).

• See: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/4361/files
• See: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-4361-sign-in-with-ethereum/7263

Functions

eip4361.makeNonce(expirationTTLSeconds = null, notBefore = null)

Produces a Nonce object. If no parameters are specified will produce a Nonce with only value and issuedAt properties.

Optionally, caller can specify expirationTTLSeconds to set an expirationTime property. May also specify a notBefore Date object to set the corresponding property.

If either of these two properties are set when verifying, they will be checked for validity.

If operating in a secure context, suggest storing this object and only exposing the value to the insecure client. Pass the value back to the secure context which can validate the nonce hasn't already been used before attempting to verify the signature.

eip4361.produceMessage(domain, address, statement, uri, version, nonce, chainId = null, requestId= null, resources = [])

Produces an EIP4361 compliant message for a wallet to sign.

• nonce.expirationTime, nonce.notBefore, chainId, requestID, and resources are all optional.

Request the connected wallet to personal_sign (EIP-191) this message and capture the signature.

• See: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-191
• See: https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/rpc/ns-personal#personal_sign
• See: https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/signer/#Signer-signMessage
• See: https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/v1.5.2/web3-eth-personal.html#sign

eip4361.verifyMessage(signature, domain, address, statement, uri, version, nonce, chainId = null, requestId = null, resources = [])

Once a wallet has signed the message, pass it back to verifyMessage with all the same parameters you used for produceMessage to verify it.

• If the nonce is bad eip4361.InvalidNonceError will be thrown.
• If the signature is bad eip4361.InvalidSignatureError will be thrown.
