Overview ¶
The crypto package is used to provide functionality to several keypair types. The current supported types are secp256k1 and sr25519.
Keypairs ¶
The keypair interface is used to bridge the different types of crypto formats. Every Keypair has both a Encode and Decode function that allows writing and reading from keystore files. There is also the Address and PublicKey functions that allow access to public facing fields.
