Ethereum keys generator.

Usage

How does MyEtherWallet (MEW) generate your private key? Virtually any 64 character string is a valid Ethereum private key. So, I am wondering: how does MEW choose a private key for you? Does it use some kind of random string generator (which one?)? Does it use the hash of this string as your private key? How to generate Ethereum addresses - Technical explanation and online course. Private Key - Public Key - Ethereum Address The first step is to create a random private key using SHA256, for example, using an open-source Ethereum library such as EthereumJ. Why generate truly random private keys? December 14th 2017. Tweet This spotted 21 BTC (cumulative) sent to an address whose private key is compromised. So we have a system without storage / persistence that allows from a private key to generate a public key and an address. This is obviously a one-way system. Micropayments for Ethereum.

Examples

info <secret>

Display info about private key.

  • <secret> - ethereum secret, 32 bytes long

--

generate brain <seed>

Generate new brain-wallet keypair using 16384 iterations.

  • <seed> - brain-wallet seed, any string

--

generate random

Generate new keypair randomly.

--

generate prefix <prefix> <iterations>

Generate new keypair randomly with address starting with prefix.

  • <prefix> - desired address prefix, 0 - 32 bytes long.
  • <iterations> - maximum number of tries before generation is assumed to be a failure.

--

sign <secret> <message>

Sign a message with a secret.

Ethereum Prison Key

  • <secret> - ethereum secret, 32 bytes long
  • <message> - message to sign, 32 bytes long

--

verify public <public> <signature> <message>

Verify the signature.

  • <public> - ethereum public, 64 bytes long
  • <signature> - message signature, 65 bytes long
  • <message> - message, 32 bytes long

--

verify address <address> <signature> <message>

Verify the signature.

Generate Random Ethereum Private Keys

  • <address> - ethereum address, 20 bytes long
  • <signature> - message signature, 65 bytes long
  • <message> - message, 32 bytes long
