Title: Re: Beginer Guide, How To Encript/Decrypt message Using Wallet Post by: o_e_l_e_o on November 23, 2020, 01:39:20 PM That is not correct. You cannot decrypt a message using a public key. If you could, then there would be no point in encrypting it at all since your public key is, well, public. The only reason you can decrypt that message is because the wallet you are using is holding the private key from which that public key is derived.
You use a public key to encrypt data, and you use the related private key to decrypt it. If you want to encrypt a message for a friend using Electrum, then the first thing you need is for them to send you one of their public keys, or to pull their public key from a transaction they have broadcast. You then use their public key to encrypt the message, and send them the encrypted data. Then your friend (and importantly, only your friend) can use the associated private key to decrypt your message. Title: Re: Beginer Guide, How To Encript/Decrypt message Using Wallet Post by: Pffrt on November 23, 2020, 04:53:28 PM You have misspelled the word "encrypt" in the title which shown as "encript". People here are very naive most of the times and they barely care about privacy as you can see most people share a lot of their personal details here.
You should add the usages of encrypting messages, simply saying scammer will steal money wouldn’t help in this I think. Title: Re: Beginer Guide, How To Encript/Decrypt message Using Wallet Post by: hugeblack on November 23, 2020, 07:00:12 PM It is better to change the word wallet in the topic title to electrum, because you did not explain another wallet.
How can signing a letter protect against fraud? Fraudsters can sign a message without being detected. There are some explanations for signing the message in this forum, and if you do not know anything about the technical aspects, it is better not to create Guide topics and learn. |
