rsk3.account

The rsk3.account contains functions to generate Ethereum accounts and sign transactions and data.

Note

This package got NOT audited until now. Take precautions to clear memory properly, store the private keys safely, and test transaction receiving and sending functionality properly before using in production!

import {Accounts} from '@rsksmart/rsk3-accounts';

// Passing in the eth or rsk3 package is necessary to allow retrieving chainId, gasPrice and nonce automatically
// for accounts.signTransaction().
const accounts = new Accounts('ws://localhost:8546', null, options);

create

rsk3.account.create([entropy]);

Generates an account object with private key and public key. It's different from rsk3.personal.newAccount() which creates an account over the network on the node via an RPC call.

Parameters

  1. entropy - String (optional): A random string to increase entropy. If given it should be at least 32 characters. If none is given a random string will be generated using randomhex.

Returns

Object - The account object with the following structure:

  • address - string: The account address.
  • privateKey - string: The accounts private key. This should never be shared or stored unencrypted in localstorage! Also make sure to null the memory after usage.
  • signTransaction(tx [, callback]) - Function: The function to sign transactions. See rsk3.account.signTransaction() for more.
  • sign(data) - Function: The function to sign transactions. See rsk3.account.sign() for more.

Example

rsk3.account.create();
> {
    address: "0xb8CE9ab6943e0eCED004cDe8e3bBed6568B2Fa01",
    privateKey: "0x348ce564d427a3311b6536bbcff9390d69395b06ed6c486954e971d960fe8709",
    signTransaction: function(tx){...},
    sign: function(data){...},
    encrypt: function(password){...}
}

rsk3.account.create('2435@#@#@±±±±!!!!678543213456764321§34567543213456785432134567');
