Specification(python)

from ethereum import utils

def checksum_encode(addr): # Takes a -byte binary address as input
o = ''
v = utils.big_endian_to_int(utils.sha3(addr.hex()))
for i, c in enumerate(addr.hex()):
if c in ''://就是如果address在i位置上的值是数字的话,就不做任何改变
o += c
else: //但是如果是字符的话,就要另进行判断,(2**(255 - 4*i))这个的二进制的结果就是从后向前数的255 - 4*i个位置上的值为1,即是为了实现从前往后数为4*i位置的数字
o += c.upper() if (v & (**( - *i))) else c.lower()//255的原因是hash的v有32bytes,即32*8=256,从0开始
//所以意思是如果小写十六进制地址的散列v的第4*i位也是1,则以大写形式打印,否则以小写形式打印。
return '0x'+o def test(addrstr):
assert(addrstr == checksum_encode(bytes.fromhex(addrstr[:]))) test('0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed')
test('0xfB6916095ca1df60bB79Ce92cE3Ea74c37c5d359')
test('0xdbF03B407c01E7cD3CBea99509d93f8DDDC8C6FB')
test('0xD1220A0cf47c7B9Be7A2E6BA89F429762e7b9aDb')

注意:v = utils.big_endian_to_int(utils.sha3(addr.hex()))

所谓的大端模式(Big-endian),是指数据的高字节,保存在内存的低地址中,而数据的低字节,保存在内存的高地址中,这样的存储模式有点儿类似于把数据当作字符串顺序处理:地址由小向大增加,而数据从高位往低位放;比如1234,如果是数字的话应该从低位开始读4321(即小端模式);但是这里为大端模式,所以读法就是1234。这是为了顺序处理addr的hash值

In English, convert the address to hex, but if the ith digit is a letter (ie. it's one of abcdef) print it in uppercase if the 4*ith bit of the hash of the lowercase hexadecimal address is 1 otherwise print it in lowercase.

Rationale

Benefits:

  • Backwards compatible with many hex parsers that accept mixed case, allowing it to be easily introduced over time
  • Keeps the length at 40 characters。 address长度为40个字符
  • On average there will be 15 check bits per address, and the net probability that a randomly generated address if mistyped will accidentally pass a check is 0.0247%. This is a ~50x improvement over ICAP, but not as good as a 4-byte check code.  上面bit的转换效率没有字节的转化效率快,所以下面实现的是半字节(16进制一字符4bits)形式的转换方法:

例子:

const createKeccakHash = require('keccak');

function toChecksumAddress (address) {
address = address.toLowerCase().replace('0x', '');
console.log(address);
var hash = createKeccakHash('keccak256').update(address).digest('hex');//update就是输入要加密的值,digest就是将加密好的hash值以16进制的形式输出
console.log(hash);//5cfac663f45837b409c4d3dc1cef5f4759734f4989dd53a31b1265734c0b28f4,64个
var ret = '0x'; for (var i = ; i < address.length; i++) {//所以只用得到hash的前40个字符
if (parseInt(hash[i], ) >= ) {//即将16进制的hash[i]转化成10进制的数值后与8进行比较,如果在i位置的hash的值大于或等于8,相应位置的address的值就换成大写,否则就还是小写
ret += address[i].toUpperCase();//其实就是根据得到的hash值来相应将address转换成大小写皆有的形式
console.log('if');
console.log(ret);
} else {
ret += address[i];
console.log('else');
console.log(ret);
}
} return ret;
} var addr = '0xfb6916095ca1df60bb79ce92ce3ea74c37c5d359';//去掉0x是40个
console.log(toChecksumAddress(addr));

这里的例子address是16进制的,当然,如果the hex address encoded as ASCII,那么就写成:

var hash = createKeccakHash('keccak256').update(Buffer.from(address.toLowerCase(), 'ascii')).digest()
