I know this topic has been discussed many time... I want to hear your opinion about the private address generation algorithm on
https://www.bitaddress.org/.
I been looking at different methods to SECURE funds in a paper wallet (for a academic study).
My conclusion is that offline generation with a dump of
https://www.bitaddress.org/ is straight forward and easy to use - and secure if you follow certain procedures.
Lets assume that I am super paranoid..
- Download
https://www.bitaddress.org/ to a new USB stick
- Download Ubuntu to a new stick.
- Boot Ubontu on computer that is located in a soundproof Faraday cage with black curtains around - with no connection to any kind of network.
- Generate wallets - copy with pen/paper (or print through a printer on the USB port).
- Destroy all your equipment after.
.... am I missing something? (please point out if yes)
The question is: can bitaddress.org be trusted?
I have not studied the code - but if the seed are not completely deterministic, then will it be possible to re-generate the private address or at least limit the range to bruteforce.
What is your opinion, can
https://www.bitaddress.org/ be trusted in regard to making completely random private keys?
