Hi Team,
Currently trying to generate a secp256k1 public key from the same 32bytes private key on both openssl and bitcoin-core library.
So far, I have not been successful in creating 2x identical pubic keys.
I understand both openssl and bitcoin-core libraries are expecting big endian inputs.
Can you confirm those 2x libraries should produce the same output when given the same inputs?
Is there some material I can use as example?
I considered that the creation of the public key would create a different x and y (modular reduction seems to be used in bitcoin-core library, unsure about openssl) but potentially compatible and tested the signature/verification part:
but at no success.
Thanks for your help.
