Sign In With QoreChain: server verification
SIWQ is an EIP-4361-style sign-in message signed by the account's secp256k1 key (ADR-36) and by its ML-DSA-87 key. Format: Sign In With QoreChain v1.
Flow
- The server issues a single-use nonce for the session.
- The client builds the message with
createSiwqMessageand the wallet signs it withsignSiwq(or produces the classical part withsignArbitraryand the ML-DSA-87 part withpqSignoversiwqPqSignBytes(message)). - The server verifies with
verifySiwqWithChain, which checks the message, the nonce, the domain, the times, that the classical key controls the address, and the ML-DSA-87 signature against the key registered on chain for the address (see Verification).
TypeScript
import { verifySiwqWithChain } from "@qorechain/qoresign/network";
const fields = await verifySiwqWithChain({
rest: "https://api.qore.host",
address: body.address,
message: body.message,
signature: body.signature,
domain: "app.example.com", // the host the request came to
nonce: session.nonce, // single use; delete it now
chainId: "qorechain-vladi",
});
// fields.address is signed in; fields.possessionProven tells whether the key was registered with a proof of possession
Go
import (
qoresign "github.com/qorechain/qoresign/go"
"github.com/qorechain/qoresign/go/network"
)
// The network helpers are methods on a client.
client := network.NewClient("https://api.qore.host")
var sig qoresign.SiwqSignature
if err := json.Unmarshal(signatureJSON, &sig); err != nil {
return err
}
result, err := client.VerifySiwqWithChain(ctx, address, qoresign.VerifySiwqOptions{
Message: message,
Signature: sig,
Domain: "app.example.com", // the host the request came to
Nonce: issuedNonce, // the nonce your server issued
ChainID: "qorechain-vladi",
})
if qoresign.IsCode(err, qoresign.CodeSiwqExpired) {
// ask the user to sign in again
}
// result.Address signed in; result.PossessionProven reports how the key was registered.
Classical-only accounts
verifySiwq refuses a sign-in without the ML-DSA-87 part unless
requirePq: false is passed. Accept classical-only sign-ins only if your
service does not need the post-quantum guarantee.
