12
+ **NotaryHash refuses base64 that is not base64, can check a header's height, and its
13
+ certificate fields are proposed for BRC-220.** Everything here is additive or refuses only
14
+ malformed input: nothing that verified in 9.9.0 stops verifying.
15
+
16
+ ### Fixed — NotaryHash reads base64 strictly, and can check a header's height
17
+
18
+ `Certificate.decodeBytes` refuses a base64 length that no byte string encodes, and padding
19
+ anywhere but the end. `Buffer.from` drops a trailing character that cannot complete a byte,
20
+ so `"AAAAA"` decoded to three bytes instead of failing — the same corruption-as-decoding
21
+ that 9.9.0 already refused for characters outside the alphabet. Everything a writer
22
+ produces, in either alphabet and with or without padding, is still accepted.
23
+
24
+ `verify()` and `verifyAnchorSPV()` take an optional `height`. BRC-220 anchors a certificate
25
+ in "the block header for `spv.blockHash` at `spv.blockHeight`", and an 80-byte header does
26
+ not carry its height, so until now the height could not be checked at all. A caller that
27
+ obtained the header at a known height passes it, and a mismatch fails the anchor. It is
28
+ optional because requiring it would break every caller that holds only the header.
29
+
30
+ ### Docs
31
+
32
+ - `docs/BRC220_CERTIFICATE_FIELDS_AMENDMENT.md`: a BRC-220 amendment defining the
33
+ certificate's field values as the reference implementation writes them, and two rules
34
+ for reading them. BRC-220 names the twelve required fields and defines none of their
35
+ values, which is how 8.3.0–9.8.0 and the reference came to be unable to read each
36
+ other's certificates. Filed as
37
+ [bsv-blockchain/BRCs#247](https://github.com/bsv-blockchain/BRCs/pull/247).
38
+ `test/notaryhash/fields_amendment.js` checks its examples against certificates the
39
+ reference produced, and checks that this library does what each reader rule says.
40
+ - `docs/BRC220_BATCH_LEAF_AMENDMENT.md` says that `leafIndex` counts from 0, and how `i`
41
+ is written in the batch vector's preimages. Review of
42
+ [bsv-blockchain/BRCs#246](https://github.com/bsv-blockchain/BRCs/pull/246) asked for
43
+ both, and #246 now carries them too. The vector's values are unchanged.
44
+
45
+ ## [9.9.0] - 2026-09-11
46
+
47
+ **NotaryHash interoperates with the BRC-220 reference implementation, without breaking
48
+ anything in 9.x.** Verification reads both certificate formats. `Certificate.build()`
49
+ writes the reference format given `format: 'reference'`; without it, it still writes
50
+ exactly what 9.8.0 wrote and warns once, as STABILITY.md requires. Against v9.8.0 the
51
+ public API gains 13 names and changes or removes none.
52
+
53
+ ### Fixed — NotaryHash verifies the certificates the BRC-220 reference implementation issues
54
+
55
+ 8.3.0 through 9.8.0 could not verify a single certificate the BRC-220 reference
56
+ implementation issued: `NotaryHash.verify` rejected every one with `unsupported version:
57
+ 1.0`, and the reference could not read this library's either. The cryptography agreed
58
+ throughout — `proofHash`, the signature digest, the RFC 6962 tree and the on-chain record
59
+ are byte-identical — and only the JSON differed. BRC-220 lists a certificate's required
60
+ fields but not their values, and 8.3.0 filled that gap from this implementation alone.
61
+ Every test passed, because every test built its certificates here.
62
+
63
+ | field | 8.3.0–9.8.0 format | reference format |
64
+ | --- | --- | --- |
65
+ | `version` | `1` | `"1.0"` |
66
+ | `mode` | `0` / `1` / `2` | `"full"` / `"hybrid"` |
67
+ | a batch | `mode: 2` | `anchor.type: "batch"`; the mode stays full or hybrid |
68
+ | `encoding` | `"raw"` / `"der"` — the signature's byte form | `"hex"` / `"base64"` — how `publicKey` and `signature` are written |
69
+ | `anchor` | `{ txid, blockHeight }` | `{ type, network, txid, vout, blockHeight, blockTime }` |
70
+ | `merkle.path` | bare hashes | `{ hash, side }`, leaf upward |
71
+
72
+ Verification now reads both formats — `verify()` reports `legacy: true` for the old one —
73
+ and accepts what the reference accepts, each of which 9.8.0 refused:
74
+
75
+ - **High-S ECDSA signatures.** The reference accepts them deliberately. It is safe:
76
+ `proofHash` covers the exact signature bytes, so the malleated form of a signature is a
77
+ *different* certificate, never a forgery of this one — a test asserts exactly that.
78
+ - **DER signatures**, told apart from 64-byte `r ‖ s` by the bytes, and **65-byte
79
+ uncompressed public keys**.
80
+ - **Base64 fields**, including the URL-safe alphabet and missing padding, as the
81
+ reference's `Buffer.from` reads them. Characters outside the alphabet are refused, where
82
+ `Buffer.from` would skip them and decode a corrupted field to different bytes.
83
+ - **A merkle proof on a direct anchor** is checked when present, as the reference checks
84
+ it: accepted if it folds to its stated root, refused if not.
85
+
86
+ One check is added: the supplied header must be the block `spv.blockHash` names. A header
87
+ the proof folds to that is some other block left the certificate's own statement of where
88
+ it was mined unchecked. The reference checks the same. A certificate that passed 9.8.0
89
+ fails it only if its `spv.blockHash` names a different block from the header supplied.
90
+
91
+ ### Deprecated — the default format of `NotaryHash.Certificate.build()`
92
+
93
+ `build()` takes a `format`. `'reference'` (`NotaryHash.Certificate.FORMAT.REFERENCE`)
94
+ writes the reference format; `'legacy'` writes the 8.3.0–9.8.0 one. Omitting it writes the
95
+ legacy format — byte for byte what 9.8.0 wrote, pinned by test against certificates the
96
+ 9.8.0 code itself built — and warns once. **The default becomes `'reference'` in 10.0.0.**
97
+
98
+ ```js
99
+ NotaryHash.Certificate.build({ ...params, format: 'reference' })
100
+ // { version: '1.0', mode: 'full', encoding: 'hex', anchor: { type: 'direct', … }, … }
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ Per STABILITY.md this is a minor, so what `build()` returns does not change in 9.x, and
104
+ code reading `cert.mode === NotaryHash.MODE.FULL` keeps working. It is the shape of the
105
+ LTP claim canonicalization in 9.2.0, for a similar reason: the default is deterministic and
106
+ agrees with itself, and is not interoperable. The cost here is immediate rather than
107
+ latent — no other BRC-220 verifier can check a default-built certificate — so pass
108
+ `format: 'reference'` for anything issued to someone else. An unrecognised `format` throws
109
+ rather than falling back.
110
+
111
+ `Certificate.VERSION` is still `1`, what the default writes; `Certificate.REFERENCE_VERSION`
112
+ is `'1.0'`. `Certificate.ENCODING` gains `HEX` and `BASE64` beside `RAW` and `DER`.
113
+
114
+ ### Added
115
+
116
+ - `test/notaryhash/reference_certs.js`, over ten certificates produced by the reference
117
+ implementation's own code — full and hybrid, hex and base64, a DER signature, a high-S
118
+ signature, an uncompressed key, and a five-leaf batch. Each verifies here, and each is
119
+ rebuilt byte for byte by `Certificate.build({ format: 'reference' })`. The reference's
120
+ batch is the same tree as the BRC-220 batch vector: same root, same paths.
121
+ - `test/data/notaryhash-9.8.0-certs.json`: certificates built by the 9.8.0 code, which the
122
+ 9.x default must reproduce exactly.
123
+ - `Certificate.FORMAT`, `REFERENCE_VERSION`, `MODE`, `ANCHOR_TYPE`, `DEFAULT_NETWORK`,
124
+ `isLegacy`, `normalize`, `decodeBytes` and `toProofInput`; `Merkle.auditPath`,
125
+ `pathSides`, `rootFromPath` and `verifyAuditPath` for the sided path form.
126
+ - `bsv.d.ts` declares `NotaryHash` in full, with `build()` overloaded on `format`. It was
127
+ 48 of 56 names undeclared, so it could not be used from TypeScript at all; the
128
+ declaration gate now holds it at zero.
129
+
130
+ ### Docs
131
+
132
+ - `docs/BRC220_ENCODING_AMENDMENT.md` is **withdrawn**. It proposed `"raw"`/`"der"` and
133
+ mandatory low-S; the reference contradicts it on every point. It was never filed.
134
+ - `docs/BRC220_BATCH_LEAF_AMENDMENT.md` was confirmed against the reference and filed as
135
+ [bsv-blockchain/BRCs#246](https://github.com/bsv-blockchain/BRCs/pull/246).
136
+ - `test/data/brc220-batch-vector.json` records `encoding: "hex"` and sided paths. The root,
137
+ the rejected-reading root, and every `proofHash` and signature are unchanged.
