Anyway, "SECG" is a encoding method that produces 97 characters long private keys.
SECG stands for Standards for Efficient Cryptography Group which is not an encoding algorithm itself but set of standards that define many algorithms one of which is key deployment. It could be a key generated using OpenSSL in which case the file should have a .pem extension and the data should start with 0x30 (sequence tag). But you still have to decode the string.

While I was teaching her, Ive stumbled across a file that cointained some infos (and this private Key).
So you are trying to crack someone else's private key so you can steal their coins?

Nope. I don't even know if there is bitcoins on this wallet. My goal here is to understand the encoding.

1. Why do you think that it is Bitcoin related?
2. Why do you think that it is a private key?

Both questions are mentioned in the archive.

Address -
Private Key -
Public Key -
Hash160 -

The problem is, the only part of the archive that is "encoded" is the private key, but what made me question what is the encoding method is that, when i google it, I only find 3 posts mentioning a 97~98 encoding method. That made me curious about the subject.
