EOS Wallet Key Generator

Usage

  • Download eosjs-keygen.html from releases
  • Perform desired level of security
    • Verify the code and build/release hash
    • Use from cold storage

Cold Storage

Here is one version of Cold Storage which I think is relatively simple given the tools available.

  • Get a USB with a read-only switch
  • Install a bootable OS like Ubuntu onto the USB
  • Remove the hard-drive (any storage device) and wireless card from an old laptop or desktop
  • Put the USB in read-only mode and boot
  • Connect to the Internet if desired, load any software or tools needed
  • Unplug the Internet (ethernet cable) and work with your software and private keys
  • Use a second writable USB for a backup
  • Power off

Never re-connect the Internet after working with private keys.

Todo

Password encrypted wallet file.

Build

I'll make a post at Steemit.com with each release hash.

Additionally you can verify that the build hash matches the human source code:

  • Node
  • sha256sum
git checkout tags/v1.0.0
npm install
npm run build

The build script runs sha256sum eosjs-keygen.html

You should see a sha256 hash and a eosjs-keygen.html file. For example, v1.0.0 should hash too:

3d87f79639fa3aceaadd217b40c9e07bd0ecedc889de64cd4334eac26f66076f  eosjs-keygen.html

This should match the release hash at github and the hash on Steemit.
