Title: Need help about SPKAC in Crypto? Post by: laraveldeveloper on April 23, 2018, 05:39:18 AM Hi guys,
Can please little explain about SPKAC in simple words? So i can able to understand perfectly about SPKAC. Title: Re: Need help about SPKAC in Crypto? Post by: bob123 on April 23, 2018, 06:42:32 AM SPKAC stands for Signed Public Key and Challenge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPKAC).
Quote It is a format for sending a Certification Signing Request ... It is created using the little documented HTML keygen element[2] inside a number of Netscape compatible browsers. - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPKAC)Where did you read it in the context with crypto (cryptocurrency? or cryptography?) ? I am not aware of any blockchain project somehow utilizing SPKAC. This is something completely different (if you are comparing it with signature algorithms, etc.. in crypto(currencies)).

I am trying to follow below link so i can able to implement crypto using node js then i saw SPKAC there i am confused about the SPKAC so i tried to figure out here "what SPKAC exactly".

(https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto) Further, 'SPKAC is a Certificate Signing Request mechanism originally implemented by Netscape and was specified formally as part of HTML5's keygen element'. (https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_class_certificate) Everything is explained in the link you have posted. This is not related to cryptocurrencies. It is used for cryptographical functions (requesting, signing, verifying, ... signatures/authentication codes/etc.. ). Title: Re: Need help about SPKAC in Crypto? Post by: laraveldeveloper on April 23, 2018, 07:49:40 AM You mean we can not able to use this crypto library to develop any sample program of node js with blockchain. Can you provide me any valuable link so i can start creating private key and associated public in node js?

An bitcoin core RPC client can be found here on NPM (https://www.npmjs.com/package/bitcoin-core). Both are the first results on google. Quite a lot of repositories, code snippets, libaries, .. can be found pretty fast using google. |
