Generate Ethereum Private Key Javascript

by

Hi I'd like to generate a public/private keypair in node-js, and use the public key to encrypt message and the private key to decrypt the message. I need to encode user's secretKey because I use them for individually validation. And then I should decode it. I guess I can use public/private key encryption for this. Privatekey: Private key of the sender to sign the transaction and actually transfer the tokens; Notice. SignTransaction(tx) is removed because sendTransaction does it internally. Sending Procedures 1. Connect to network (testnet) Set Provider (Infura) Connect to Ropsten testnet.

An Ethereum account keystore file is JSON file, that stores the private key of an Ethereum account.

We can use the importRawKey() function on the 'geth' JavaScript console to create keystore file from a private key:

Then view the keystore file content with the Windows 'type' command:

Note that the above keystore file has been reformatted.

As you can see, the private key has been encrypted by the password and stored to the 'ciphertext' property. The public key is stored as the 'addres' property.

Please do not send any Ether to this public key, since the private key is published, anyone can use it to spend the Ether fund associated to this public key.
