Refer to keys module to access these methods.

createNewPassPhrase()

Creates new Mnemonic passPhrase with English words.

Parameters: none.

Returns: new random passPhrase, String

makeKeypairFromHash(hash)

Creates public and private keys with provided hash using Sodium (NaCl).

Parameters:

• hash — SHA-256 hash of passPhase to generate key pair. You can use createHashFromPassPhrase

Returns:

• publicKey of key pair
• privateKey of key pair

createHashFromPassPhrase(passPhrase)

Creates SHA-256 hash from provided passPhrase.

Parameters:

• passPhrase — 12 words Mnemonic passPhrase to generate hash, String

Returns: generated Hash object from crypto library

createKeypairFromPassPhrase(passPhrase)

Creates public and private keys with provided passPhrase using Sodium (NaCl).

Parameters:

• passPhrase — 12 words Mnemonic passPhrase to generate hash, String

Returns:

• publicKey of key pair
• privateKey of key pair

Example:

let keysPair;
try {
    keysPair = keys.createKeypairFromPassPhrase(config.passphrase);
} catch (e) {
    exit('Passphrase is not valid! Error: ' + e);
}

createAddressFromPublicKey(publicKey)

Generates ADAMANT address from provided publicKey.

Parameters:

• publicKey — account's publicKey

Returns: ADAMANT address, String

Example:

const address = keys.createAddressFromPublicKey(keysPair.publicKey);
