Title: Article on Stealth Address and Two Factor Keys
Post by: Nicolas Dorier on May 19, 2014, 03:39:51 PM
After developping Stealth address support in NBitcoin, I thought that the available documentation on stealth addresses does not have an easy to read, developer oriented explanation of how Stealth address and two factor keys works.
So I decided to write an article about it.
Feel free to copy/paste wathever you want for wikis, as long as you bring some credits. ;)

Here is the URL : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/775226/NBitcoin-Cryptography-Part (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/775226/NBitcoin-Cryptography-Part)
Waiting for your feedback :)

thx, really good intro to stealth. I've linked it:
https://wiki.unsystem.net/index.php/DarkWallet/Stealth#Links
will be pointing all the noobs there now rather than the dense wiki page.
BTW I'm on Freenode IRC #darkwallet

Thanks, don't hesitate to copy text or diagram you find useful in the wiki.

Really good work, thank you!

re: copying, maybe I missed it, but could you add an explicitly creative commons share-alike license?

By the way, if someone need the .vsd (visio) to modify the diagrams, I can send.
