== Detailed Specification ==
90+
91+
For all signature types, except legacy, the <code>to_spend</code> and <code>to_sign</code> transactions must be valid transactions which pass all consensus checks, except of course that the output with prevout <code>000...000:FFFFFFFF</code> does not exist.

=== Verification ===
94+
95+
A validator is given as input an address ''A'' (which may be omitted in a proof-of-funds), signature ''s'' and message ''m'', and outputs one of three states
96+
* ''valid at time T and age S'' indicates that the signature has set timelocks but is otherwise valid
97+
* ''inconclusive'' means the validator was unable to check the scripts
98+
* ''invalid'' means that some check failed
99+

==== Verification Process ====
101+
102+
Validation consists of the following steps:
103+
104+
# Basic validation
105+
## Decode ''s'' as the transactions <code>to_sign</code> and <code>to_spend</code>
106+
## Confirm that <code>message_hash</code> is the correct hash of ''m''
107+
## Confirm that <code>message_challenge</code> is the scriptPubKey corresponding to ''A'' if ''A'' is present, and otherwise must be <code>OP_TRUE</code>
108+
## Confirm that all other fields are set as specified above; in particular that
109+
##* <code>to_spend</code> has exactly one input and one output
110+
##* <code>to_sign</code> has at least one input and its first input spends the output of </code>to_spend</code>
111+
##* <code>to_sign</code> has exactly one output, as specified above
112+
## Confirm that the two transactions together satisfy all consensus rules, except for <code>to_spend</code>'s missing input, and except that ''nSequence'' of <code>to_sign</code>'s first input and ''nLockTime'' of <code>to_sign</code> are not checked.
113+
# (Optional) If the validator does not have a full script interpreter, it should check that it understands all scripts being satisfied. If not, it should stop here and output ''inconclusive''.
114+
# Check the **required rules**:
115+
## All signatures must use the SIGHASH_ALL flag.
116+
## The use of <code>CODESEPARATOR</code> or <code>FindAndDelete</code> is forbidden.
117+
## <code>LOW_S</code>, <code>STRICTENC</code> and <code>NULLFAIL</code>: valid ECDSA signatures must be strictly DER-encoded and have a low-S value; invalid ECDSA signature must be the empty push
118+
## <code>MINIMALDATA</code>: all pushes must be minimally encoded
119+
## <code>CLEANSTACK</code>: require that only a single stack element remains after evaluation
120+
## <code>MINIMALIF</code>: the argument of <code>IF</code>/<code>NOTIF</code> must be exactly 0x01 or empty push
121+
## If any of the above steps failed, the validator should stop and output the ''invalid'' state.
122+
# Check the **upgradeable rules**
123+
## The use of NOPs reserved for upgrades is forbidden.
124+
## The use of segwit versions greater than 0 are forbidden.
125+
## If any of the above steps failed, the validator should stop and output the ''inconclusive'' state.
126+
# Let ''T'' by the nLockTime of <code>to_sign</code> and ''S'' be the nSequence of the first input of <code>to_sign</code>. Output the state ''valid at time T and age S''.

== Consensus and standard flags ==
159-
160-
Each flag is associated with some type of enforced rule (most often a soft fork). There are two sets of flags: consensus flags (which result in a block being rejected, if violated), and upgradable flags (which are typically policy-rejected by nodes specifically for the purpose of future network upgrades). The upgradable flags are a super-set of the consensus flags.
161-
162-
This BIP specifies that a proof that validates for both rulesets is valid, a proof that validates for consensus rules, but not for upgradable rules, is "inconclusive", and a proof that does not validate for consensus rules is "invalid" (regardless of upgradable rule validation).

The ruleset sometimes changes. This BIP does not intend to be complete, nor does it indicate enforcement of rules, it simply lists the rules as they stand at the point of writing.
