Goals

The mechanism by which the genesis contracts are signed is not clear and there is not much documentation on the subject or, at least, not everybody is aware of its existence.

For example the MakeMint.rho contract has the following comment at the beginning of the file:

//Registry info:
//  sk: a300690f29ac6385917cb94bf534f9b4163792ef8636c5db44608a77fa0356c2
//  pk: d9ba2075d355755060205605f4cdbd5ecd3cce5ed1f39690f34772f7c9aa30ab
//  user == pk
//  timestamp: 1539969637029
//Resulting unforgable name: Unforgeable(0xdf2886c69e880d611d9c609d5ea51a59e43a684f3a587b233be034dace00d092)
//  ==> signature data == 2a3eaa013b0a0d2a0b10feffffffffffffffff010a2a5a280a243a220a20df2886c69e880d611d9c609d5ea51a59e43a684f3a587b233be034dace00d0921001
//  ==> signature == 36229e3f4530c15f3b7c1d9165369201b70b4673289a003652af14b436b20a275d5909d6dfbbd06e685292d39eadf3af11db6f882dcc78ef0b794e6da0ad6109
//URI derived from pk == `rho:id:exunyijimapk7z43g3bbr69awqdz54kyroj9q43jgu3dh567fxsftx`

The questions to be answered are:

Is the key pair unique for each contract?
how is the URI derived from the pk?
how is the signature computed?
what is the procedure for signing/deploying such a contract?
