NullPublicKey

Return a Set of the contained leaf keys if this is a CompositeKey. Otherwise, return a Set with a single element (this PublicKey). Note that leaf keys cannot be of type CompositeKey.

Checks whether any of the given keys matches a leaf on the CompositeKey tree or a single PublicKey.

Return true if otherKey fulfils the requirements of this PublicKey.

Return true if otherKeys fulfil the requirements of this PublicKey.

Utility to simplify the act of verifying a signature. In comparison to verify if the key and signature do not match it returns false rather than throwing an exception. Normally you should use the function which throws, as it avoids the risk of failing to test the result, but this is for uses such as java.security.Signature.verify implementations.

Return the Base58 representation of the serialised public key.

Return the bytes of the SHA-256 output for this public key.

Render a public key to its hash (in Base58) of its serialised form using the DL prefix.
