Ethereums BIP39 Tool: Understanding Bip32 roots against extended private keys
BIP39 -Mnemonik -Tool, an essential part of the intelligent development of the Ethereum contract, offers a decisive set for tools for generating and managing private keys. However, two relatives, but different concepts are often confused: Bip32 root keys and BIP32 private keys. In this article we will face the differences between these two types of key and how the BIP39 instrument is used.
BIP (proposal to improve bitcoin)
Let’s first define what is the GDP. BIPs are a set of bitcoin-related suggestions for improvements that have been introduced to improve the basic technology behind Bitcoin. Each proposal aimed to improve the specific aspects of the protocol. One of these improvements was with private keys.
bip32
BIP32 is an algorithm for generating and managing private keys that have been developed especially for the Bitcoin network. It is based on a hierarchical deterministic article (HD), with which users can easily generate and manage more private keys with different levels of complexity. Bip32 root key: This refers to a particular type of key that is generated with the BIP32 algorithm.
bip39
BIP39 is an algorithm to produce mnemonic seeds from a BIP32 seeds. A mnemonic seed is an orderly list of words that can generate all possible private keys for a certain wallet in reverse order. In other words, if you have a BIP32 seed and the corresponding Mnemonic mnemonics, you can use it to create more private keys with the same seed.
BIP32 Extended private key
The BIP32 extended private key is another variant of the BIP32 algorithm with which users can create more complex and safe private keys. This extended version uses a different structure for the hierarchical deterministic wallet, which allows a more efficient generation of keys and, at the same time, maintaining security.
BIP32 Root key against Mnemonic seeds BIP39
Now let’s compare these two relatives, but different concepts:
* BIP39 MNEMONIC SEEDS : The product of the BIP39 instrument is a mnemonic mnemonic (seeds) with which several private keys can be generated for the same wallet. This seed contains the words and order in which they were introduced.
* BIP32 Root key : A BIP32 root key is generated using a certain BIP32 -based algorithm, not directly from the output of the BIP39 instrument.
In conclusion:
– The BIP39 instrument creates a mnemonic mnemonic (seed) with which several private keys can be created for the same wallet.
-BIP32 Root key: This type of key is generated with the BIP32 algorithm and is related to the BIP39 seed, but is not directly out of the BIP39 instrument.
If you understand these concepts, you can use the BIP39 tool more efficient in your development projects. Using BIP39 seeds and BIP32 root keys, you can create safe and efficient private key management solutions for ETHREUM -based applications.
