Title: Advice needed with java public key/address creation Post by: daveyrobinsonuk on January 20, 2014, 11:49:44 AM Hi guys.
I'm trying to create a java app which uses a secret (to the user) hash to salt a passphrase before creating a bitcoin address. I've done most of the work and it is in theory much more secure than normal brain wallets. The only problem I am having is in creating the public key and address. For example my app so far does the following: 1. turns the passphrase into an indecipherable passphrase of 500 letters and numbers using the users secret. 2. turns that passphrase into the secret exponent. eg. affc875700667e07a53bea72fdd1d946561a523a0bee0170daedc79151ad0526 3. turns this into the WIF Private key eg. 5K9nvFWdpdJQukRWZEHVz2ThVH2uQwXAoL4VdcUxH8UGYYmxUoZ I can then import this into a wallet and use it as it shows me the public key and address, I know that, BUT... I want to write my own code in java to display the public key and address for me. I have tried using bouncycastle libraries and for some reason it keeps giving me a totally random pubkey and address each time which has nothing to do with private key. I think thats something to do with SecureRandom which seeds it with random numbers so that sucks. If anybody has any ideas I'd be very grateful, thankyou 1AyEvwKXjKZdqpm7a2zLRzRGSs4gBLoTXM Title: Re: Advice needed with java public key/address creation Post by: Mezzmarr on January 20, 2014, 08:58:16 PM Hi guys.

The OP can tell us if that isn't the case.

Since Android is 100% java you'll be able to usa that code on any java application. https://github.com/ValleZ/Paper-Wallet |
