Title: Technical Languaje Post by: BITHISPANIA on January 05, 2018, 07:49:22 PM Hello Everyone. I am going to ask a question that may seem like a silly question. Does the public key and the private key have (from a technical point of view) a proper name? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? Title: Re: Technical Languaje Post by: SopaXT on January 05, 2018, 08:37:31 PM The "public key" and "private key" are proper cryptographical names.
However, addresses are often confused with public keys. An address is actually a hash of the public key, normally Base58-encoded. Title: Re: Technical Languaje Post by: BITHISPANIA on January 05, 2018, 08:53:46 PM OK. ¡"Public Key" and "Private Key"! Thanks. I have one less doubt. |
