Type: string
Initialize by running some self-checking code. This should take a second to gather additional CPU entropy used during private key generation.
Initialization happens once even if called multiple times.
Returns Promise
Does not pause to gather CPU entropy.
Returns Promise<PrivateKey> test key
cpuEntropyBits number gather additional entropy
from a CPU mining algorithm. This will already happen once by
default. (optional, default 0)ecc.randomKey().then(privateKey => {
console.log('Private Key:\t', privateKey) // wif
console.log('Public Key:\t', ecc.privateToPublic(privateKey)) // EOSkey...
})
seed string any length string. This is private. The same
seed produces the same private key every time. At least 128 random
bits should be used to produce a good private key.ecc.seedPrivate('secret') === wif
Returns wif
ecc.privateToPublic(wif) === pubkey
Returns pubkey
ecc.isValidPublic(pubkey) === true
Returns boolean valid
wif wifecc.isValidPrivate(wif) === true
Returns boolean valid
Create a signature using data or a hash.
data (string | Buffer)privateKey (wif | PrivateKey)encoding String data encoding (if string) (optional, default 'utf8')ecc.sign('I am alive', wif)
Returns string string signature
dataSha256 (String | Buffer) sha256 hash 32 byte buffer or stringprivateKey (wif | PrivateKey)encoding String dataSha256 encoding (if string) (optional, default 'hex')Returns string string signature
Verify signed data.

Returns boolean
Recover the public key used to create the signature.
signature (String | Buffer) (EOSbase58sig.., Hex, Buffer)data (String | Buffer) full dataencoding String data encoding (if data is a string) (optional, default 'utf8')ecc.recover(signature, 'I am alive') === pubkey
Returns pubkey

data (string | Buffer) always binary, you may need Buffer.from(data, 'hex')resultEncoding (optional, default 'hex')encoding string result encoding 'hex', 'binary' or 'base64' (optional, default 'hex')ecc.sha256('hashme') === '02208b..'
ecc.sha256(Buffer.from('02208b', 'hex')) === '29a23..'
Returns (string | Buffer) Buffer when encoding is null, or string
