An Online Secp256k1 Public And Private Key Generator
Disclaimer
This project was written in May 2013 for educational purposes.
Public / Private Keys and Signing. Public/private key pairs and using them for signatures. We will be using C# code and.NET Core to work our way through this concept. To generate the public key from the private key we use the secp256k1 algorithm from before. Online elliptic curve encryption and decryption, key generator, ec paramater, elliptic curve pem formats For Coffee/beer/Amazon Bills further development of the project, Grab The Modern Cryptography CookBook for Just $9 (or) Get this Software Bundle, Use REST API, Tech Blog, Hire Me, ContactUs. PuTTYgen is an key generator tool for creating SSH keys for PuTTY. To install the public key, Log into the server. And click Save private key to save the private key with the new passphrase. Be sure to properly destroy and wipe the old key file. Creating a new file with a new passphrase will not help if the old file remains available.
Modern cryptocurrency wallets should use hierarchical deterministic (HD) keys instead.
Introduction
btckeygenie is a standalone Bitcoin keypair/address generator written in Go.btckeygenie generates an ECDSA secp256k1 keypair, dumps the public key incompressed and uncompressed Bitcoin address, hexadecimal, and base64 formats,and dumps the private key in Wallet Import Format (WIF), Wallet Import FormatCompressed (WIFC), hexadecimal, and base64 formats.
btckeygenie includes a lightweight Go package called btckey to easily generatekeypairs, and convert them between compressed and uncompressed varieties ofBitcoin Address, Wallet Import Format, and raw bytes.
See documentation on btckey here: https://godoc.org/github.com/vsergeev/btckeygenie/btckey

Usage
Generating a new keypair
Importing an existing WIF/WIFC
- Jun 06, 2018 Public keys are generated from the private keys in Bitcoin using elliptic curve multiplication using the formula K = k. G, where K is the public key, k is the private key, and G is a constant.
- Secp256k1 refers to the parameters of the elliptic curve used in Bitcoin’s public-key cryptography, and is defined in Standards for Efficient Cryptography (SEC) A few concepts related to ECDSA: private key: A secret number, known only to the person that generated it. A private key is essentially a randomly generated number.
