- wif

wif
Type: string
ecc
initialize
Initialize by running some self-checking code. This should take a second to gather additional CPU entropy used during private key generation.
Initialization happens once even if called multiple times.
Returns Promise
unsafeRandomKey
Does not pause to gather CPU entropy.
Returns Promise<PrivateKey> test key
randomKey
Parameters
cpuEntropyBitsnumber gather additional entropy from a CPU mining algorithm. This will already happen once by default. (optional, default0)
Examples
ecc.randomKey().then(privateKey => {
console.log('Private Key:\t', privateKey) // wif
console.log('Public Key:\t', ecc.privateToPublic(privateKey)) // EOSkey...
})
seedPrivate
Parameters
seedstring any length string. This is private. The same seed produces the same private key every time. At least 128 random bits should be used to produce a good private key.
Examples
ecc.seedPrivate('secret') === wif
Returns wif
privateToPublic
Parameters
Examples
ecc.privateToPublic(wif) === pubkey
Returns pubkey
isValidPublic
Parameters
Examples
ecc.isValidPublic(pubkey) === true
Returns boolean valid
isValidPrivate
Parameters
wifwif
Examples
ecc.isValidPrivate(wif) === true
Returns boolean valid
sign
Create a signature using data or a hash.
Parameters
data(string | Buffer)privateKey(wif | PrivateKey)encodingString data encoding (if string) (optional, default'utf8')
Examples
ecc.sign('I am alive', wif)
Returns string string signature
signHash
Parameters
dataSha256(String | Buffer) sha256 hash 32 byte buffer or stringprivateKey(wif | PrivateKey)encodingString dataSha256 encoding (if string) (optional, default'hex')
Returns string string signature
verify
Verify signed data.
Parameters
signature(string | Buffer) buffer or hex stringdata(string | Buffer)pubkey(pubkey | PublicKey)encoding(optional, default'utf8')hashDataboolean sha256 hash data before verify (optional, defaulttrue)
Examples
ecc.verify(signature, 'I am alive', pubkey) === true
Returns boolean
recover
Recover the public key used to create the signature.
Parameters
signature(String | Buffer) (EOSbase58sig.., Hex, Buffer)data(String | Buffer) full dataencodingString data encoding (if data is a string) (optional, default'utf8')
Examples
ecc.recover(signature, 'I am alive') === pubkey
Returns pubkey
recoverHash
Parameters
signature(String | Buffer) (EOSbase58sig.., Hex, Buffer)dataSha256(String | Buffer) sha256 hash 32 byte buffer or hex stringencodingString dataSha256 encoding (if dataSha256 is a string) (optional, default'hex')
Returns PublicKey
sha256
Parameters
data(string | Buffer) always binary, you may need Buffer.from(data, 'hex')resultEncoding(optional, default'hex')encodingstring result encoding 'hex', 'binary' or 'base64' (optional, default'hex')
Examples
ecc.sha256('hashme') === '02208b..'
ecc.sha256(Buffer.from('02208b', 'hex')) === '29a23..'
Returns (string | Buffer) Buffer when encoding is null, or string
pubkey
EOSKey..
Type: string
Usage (Object API)
let {PrivateKey, PublicKey, Signature, Aes, key_utils, config} = require('eosjs-ecc')
// Create a new random private key
let privateWif
PrivateKey.randomKey().then(privateKey => privateWif = privateKey.toWif())
// Convert to a public key
pubkey = PrivateKey.fromString(privateWif).toPublic().toString()
