Coinkite Offline Bitcoin Toolkit
Backup (key escrow), Generate Keys and Sign Transactions Offline
We provide this stand-alone, in-browser key generating tool, which
creates a new random BIP32 ‘wallet’ to be your private key for the
new wallet. The secret values that it picks are easy to print from
the tool (for paper backup), and for storing on computers, we help
you pick a secure passphrase and encrypt the file for you (using
AES-256-CBC).
The resulting encrypted keyfile is verifiable, meaning if you
have a little Unix background, you can be 100% sure that the key
is encrypted using <b>AES-256-CBC</b> and with only your key. The encrypted
keyfile can be uploaded (one click) so that Coinkite can store it
forever, and then we can decrypt it and use the key inside to
authorize transactions very easily. The encrypted file can also be
used offline without giving it to Coinkite if you wish.
https://coinkite.com/offline/If you choose to manage some of your coin's private keys, you may start
to worry that bad folks want those keys and the value they represent.
By carefully downloading, storing and
using the files listed above, you can mitigate risk of theft.
