Technical Languaje

[BITHISPANIA]

Hello Everyone.


I am going to ask a question that may seem like a silly question.

Does the public key and the private key have (from a technical point of view) a proper name?

The "public key" and "private key" are proper cryptographical names.

However, addresses are often confused with public keys. An address is actually a hash of the public key, normally Base58-encoded.

OK.

¡"Public Key" and "Private Key"!

Thanks.


I have one less doubt.
