Types

type Bytes

type Bytes [KeyLen]byte

func (Bytes) Zero

func (pb Bytes) Zero()

Zero zeroes out a private key in serial form.

type Key

type Key secp256k1.PrivateKey

Key is a private key.

func GenerateKey

func GenerateKey() (prv *Key, e error)

GenerateKey a private key.

func PrivkeyFromBytes

func PrivkeyFromBytes(b []byte) *Key

PrivkeyFromBytes converts a byte slice into a private key.

func (*Key) ToBytes

func (prv *Key) ToBytes() (b Bytes)

ToBytes returns the Bytes serialized form. It zeroes the original bytes.

func (*Key) Zero

func (prv *Key) Zero()

Zero out a private key to prevent key scraping from memory.
